FL lawmakers are finally being let in—after Dems got turned away last week.
Here’s the catch: the tour’s not ‘til Saturday
They know the conditions are inhumane. Scrub the cages, hide the worst of it, and pray no one asks too many questions.
Don’t let them sanitize the truth!

At the annual naturalization ceremony at Mount Vernon, Arnold Schwarzenegger spoke of George Washington's ability to conceive of leadership not as a pursuit of power, but as civic stewardship. Craig Bruce Smith says this vision matters now more than ever:
What Schwarzenegger Knows About George Washington
The former California governor is the latest to recognize that the most remarkable thing about the first president was not how he exercised power, but how he yielded it.

There was never an “Epstein List.”
Every single person who is deeply familiar with the case has always known that.
