The US pays millions to Professional Bull Riders for advertising.
At PBR league events, bullfighters are branded with slick jerseys declaring the event 'Protected by US Border Patrol.'

Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”.
They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left.
This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up.

The night Trump's brother died, while family was at his side... Trump went to a movie. We can say everyone grieves differently, but this wasn't grieving. Trump defrauded his brother's family out of their inheritance. So of course... "Hey check out how the ballroom is coming along...." makes sense.

Envy Month Icon, Day 16: Jonas Salk
he didn’t patent the polio vaccine, didn’t cash in, and didn’t hoard the cure. When asked who owned it, he replied, “Could you patent the sun?” That humility, that choice to serve humanity over self, makes him the kind of figure envy can’t touch

The oldest fossil evidence shows that humans originated in Africa about 200,000 years ago and would have had dark pigmented skin to protect them from intense UV rays. So if you're a believer in "God," and believe man was created in his image... then it stands to reason that God is a Black man.
