From 2023: "The main thing to understand is that Merrick Garland and the DOJ do not want to hold Trump accountable. The preservation of a corrupt institution and its secrets is their agenda, not the survival of our country or the welfare of its people."

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.

When the active shooter on campus is the Israeli state, does anyone offer thoughts and prayers?
This image is from Birzeit University in the West Bank which was raided by Israel today using live ammunition and tear gas.

Over 40 people were injured, mostly students.

More than 8,000 students are trapped inside.

But it’s controversial to talk about scholasticide.
