There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat.
The claim collapsed because it’s a cover.

It's plain to anyone even with a partially functioning frontal cortex.
Whitehouse: Not only were the founders extremely interested in checks and balances but they were desperately concerned about corruption.
This Court has consistently taken the side of corruption against every device Congress has created to fight political corruption.

Prison rape is wrong.
Jokes about prison rape are wrong.
Eliminating protections against prison rape is wrong.
If another country sentenced a criminal to be raped, we'd consider it a crime against humanity.
BUT
A large segment of Americans regard prison rape as a de facto part of the sentence.

it is also just hilarious to insist that eight months of rush job “scholarship” outweighs decades of settled history and 140 years of settled law
Giving the game away. he has more “scholarly ammunition” than he did in January because a bunch of professional bootlicks and liars who have never had real jobs started lying about birthright citizenship in January.

And reporters wonder why Biden was not able to get voters to connect him with the billions his party invested in their name.
AP on Trump now, and Biden in June 2022.
For Trump, declining to 36 percent approval is “good news.”
For Biden, holding steady at 41% is “a source of concern.”

Ivy League universities like Harvard or Yale have massive endowments to cushion funding losses, and they generate a lot of headlines, but public universities depend on federal money to keep programs alive.
The Ivies can weather the Trump administration’s research cuts – it’s the nation’s public universities that have the most to lose
While headlines focus on Harvard and Columbia, state universities train far more STEM students, power the nation’s research engine and have fewer resources to weather sweeping cuts.
