Immigrants are literally America's most peaceful neighbors
ICE is violence & death
ICE is violence & death
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

The environmental alarmists are whining about "drowning" again. Everyone knows that you need water to live. It's silly to claim that too much water in the wrong place will kill you.
Burgum: "CO2 was never a pollutant. When we breathe, we emit CO2. Plants need CO2 to survive and grow. They thrive with more CO2. So the whole endangerment thing opens up an opportunity for the revival of clean, beautiful, American coal."
