As a citizen of Memphis I have heard that the Guard has been relegated to picking up liter which is a problem here. The admin claims they are getting illegal guns off the street but I haven’t heard of them going into North & South Memphis where there is rampant crime.

“People like Maxim — who refuse to become silent accomplices to the Kremlin’s crimes — are saving our country’s honor amid this current darkness. And it will be they who will lead Russia back to normality once the drawn-out nightmare of Putin’s rule is over.”

Creating a new D.C. museum or monument is supposed to be a collaborative process. Because these places belong to *all* Americans.
 
Trump treats them like his property.
Trump eyes a triumphal arch to mark America’s 250th anniversary
The arch would be constructed across from the Lincoln Memorial, on a small patch of federal land currently occupied by a traffic circle.

tRump’s amanuensis. Loomer’s anti Kirk rant may boomerang on her, so maybe she should move to Israel. Looking forward to all her financials being exposed re: her litigious actions against Mehr. Should be thrown out given her own X accusations, based on far less, that she laughingly read aloud.

More violence, more tumult, more Americans ferociously at one another’s throats. Exactly as President Trump and Stephen Miller intend.
