Californians are NOT going to vote for Gavin Newsom. They're telling you now, with YEARS to go before the election. Fair warning. Please support better candidates, there will be many to choose from.

It's the Iraq War all over again. Dem's too scared to be seen in opposition of an invasion. Because they believe that it makes them look weak.
President Trump’s actions today with Venezuela raise more questions than answers. Is America going to be involved in running and stabilizing Venezuela? Today's actions raise many questions about the stability of the region and our policy towards South America.

By “this has got to come to an end” he means opposition to Republicans’ destruction of the country. They seek subjugation.
Mike Johnson: "This hate America rally that they have coming up for October 18? The antifa crowd, the pro-Hamas crowd, and the Marxists, they're all gonna gather on the Mall. It is an outrageous gathering for outrageous purposes ... all this has gotta come to an end."

Andrew Cuomo is afraid he'll lose, so his donors want you to fear me.
His SuperPAC just sent out a mailer that artificially lengthened and darkened my beard.
This is blatant Islamophobia—the kind of racism that explains why MAGA billionaires support his campaign.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

The administration gets closer to using the military to crush civilian dissent. Expect deaths, disappearances, and lawless detentions.
