I post about the mainstream media centering their reporting on conservatives; I also post on LGBT issues. Occasionally I write an article or two.

The Republicans who want America to “move on” from the predators in the Epstein Files are the same people who haven’t moved on from General Grant crushing traitors, desegregation, or the 2020 Election.

These are letters submitted to ProPublica from children detained in an ICE facility in Texas.
Susej is 9 and has been detained for 50 days. Gaby is 14 and has been detained for 20 days.
Their accounts are heartbreaking. I encourage everyone to read them.

If SCOTUS allows this, it’s even a bigger tell than “presidential immunity” that they’re nothing but an extremist political rubber stamp.
NEW: The Republican National Committee (RNC) is urging the U.S. Supreme Court to dramatically restrict mail-in voting nationwide and asking the justices to rule that ballots arriving after Election Day — even if mailed on time under state law — should not be counted.
Republicans ask Supreme Court to block states from counting legally cast mail ballots
If the Court sides with the RNC, millions of voters who depend on mail-in voting could be disenfranchised.

For an attorney to resort to extortion to clear his client isn't ideal.
For an attorney to undertake that extortion expressly and in a public is incredibly stupid.

Weird how when the left makes a list of demands for politicians, we're told we're asking for ponies, but when Netanyahu does it, he's a respected leader and rational actor whose demands need to immediately be considered.
Channel 14 states that Netanyahu will demand the following from Trump:
• The complete cancellation of the Iranian nuclear program.
• Zero uranium enrichment.
• Zero uranium enrichment capabilities.
• The removal of all enriched uranium from Iran.

I've been to some countries where people live under military rule or autocracy. And without fail, one of the questions I get when they ask about life in the U.S. is whether it's true that Americans just let homeless people die on the street.
During freezing temperatures in Port Arthur, Texas, a 61-year-old homeless man was found dead in his wheelchair outside a convenience store.
He was wearing a hospital gown and no shoes. Authorities say he had been released from a hospital the previous day.
This is a diseased society.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.

The US deficit is approaching ww2 levels as a percent of GDP.
Because of the “Big Beautiful Bill” that GOP voted for.
We are spending more on INTEREST than on anything else including the military.

Watergate, but if someone was killed.
NYT confirming MS NOW reporting:
Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop.
Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.
