A witness to Charlie Kirk’s assassination now says Kash Patel’s FBI told him to delete his footage of the incident, which could conflict with the bureau’s official account.
Ryne Simmons says he sent the video to the FBI believing he was helping, but was instead told to erase it from his phone

All the press reporters have handed in their press badges to the Pentagon, even Fox propaganda News handed in their press badges. The regime is losing control. We the People are fighting back. The regime is going to increase the violence to try to get us back down. Don't stop the resistance.

This is the woman that’s lying by saying Antifa is assaulting her! Like I said these are set up to make the protesters look bad and then try to make it so Trump can use the insurrection act! There is no Antifa group! Antifa means Antifascist! This is all a scam!

Of course the Democrats will be going to Houston to find and interview voters who were laid off , to ask them what their expectations of the new administration were and how they feel they are doing at the moment. And posting here and everywhere. Right ?
On Fox Business this morning, Chevron Chair and CEO Mike Wirth discusses all of the records that the company has broken last year.
"Record" production, record distributions to shareholders, etc...
Yet they're laying off 15%-20% of their workforce.
Vile.
