You can’t shrink government to the size where you can drown it in a bathtub and then be surprised when it can’t rescue people from a flood.

It’s hard to celebrate “Independence Day” when so many of us feel anything but free.
But if you still believe in the promise of the America we aspired to be — one rooted in freedom, diversity and inclusion — then I hope you keep pushing for that vision.
THAT is always worth fighting for.

Pure evil. South Sudan, one of the poorest countries on the globe, rife with violence, civil war, paid by the US to partner in gross human rights violations on behalf of the US, for money. The Supreme Court giving the greenlight is so far beyond disgusting and shameful. It is pure evil.
I would just note: It’s even worse than this. It’s more like: “Welcome to America, Immigrants! Now Go to South Sudan!” These are *not* people who immigrated to America *from* South Sudan!
Welcome to America, Immigrants! Now Go Back to South Sudan!
With today's ruling, the Supreme Court reveals itself to be a corrupt, complicit arm of the Trump Regime and its self-destructive agenda to make America white again.

Nothing says #July4 like a big juicy slice of watermelon. This yummy fruit doesn't just appear on our picnic table. It takes a lot of work. An average watermelon weighs 20 pounds. Can you imagine harvesting them in a 98° Bakersfield area field like these workers?

Nothing wrong with expecting people to pick themselves up by their bootstraps, until you realize that some people have no boots.

He was elected as Prime Minister of the Canadian people.
