I like to pursue a self-disciplined life, love politics, and love freedom. I like different landscapes and ancient buildings. I like painting, design, etc.

Dan Bongino is melting down about Trump being sentenced after the SCOTUS decision: “Amy Coney Barrett has been a total failure. A disastrous pick! Trump should haul in every single person who recommended her and demand an explanation why!”

I won't be live-tweeting the inauguration.

Mainly, because I have no intention of watching even one second of it.

Trump was convicted and sentenced for 34 felony counts for falsifying business records covering up his sexual behavior in the 2016 election. He was indicted for trying to over throw the 2020 election and steal classified documents. He was adjudicated for sexual assault. Yet he was elected potus.

This just proves

There is no rule of law. Where as everybody is equal

The billionaires have completed the circle and now can act without any worry.

With every yes we say to activism, we are saying no to something else, and these things are as precious and fleeting as the seconds that tick away.
As we resist all that is here and all that is coming, there are a few things we can't forget to do right now:

DEI is the bogeyman for those who believe that if I’m gaining, they must be losing.

The idea that everything would be fine if only white men ran the world is a weak argument—clung to by insecure men who can’t handle reality.

DEI ensures women & BIPOC are looked at fairly IN ADDITION to white men.

"The judge has acted much more like an advocate for Trump than a neutral arbiter, and she now has a vested interest in shielding the president-elect—whom she has essentially treated like a client—from a damning public report."

I don't know if the LA fire department is properly funded or not but the claim that the city cut its budget last year — which is circulating widely on the right — is false.

As Politico notes, the budget actually INCREASED by $50 million. A portion of the funding was approved in a separate bill.

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.

These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP.

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million.

That is a lie.

The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.
