In 1941, thinking about acquiescence to Hitler, FDR quoted Ben Franklin: “Those, who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” It’s a message for the billionaires & others capitulating to Trump.

Biden inherited a high (9%) inflation caused b shortages caused by covid. He brought that down to 2.3% by the end of his tenure. He left a very strong economy with very low unemployment. He restored trust in our country abroad. All of that has been wrecked by Trump these are facts. Look them up.

Appreciate this coverage but it is hard to explain to people not in the Chicago area that THESE ARE NOT PROTESTS.

This is people coming out of their homes, doing anything in their power to try to stop their neighbors from being kidnapped.

It is coming for your city next, please be prepared.

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

Oh and this: Forecasters predicted 13 to 19 named storms this season. 13 have materialized but have been exceptionally strong. Erin and Humberto exploded into Category 5 hurricanes after rapidly intensifying earlier this year- the 2nd season three Category 5 storms formed in the Atlantic.

Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon—one of the richest men in America—cut taxes on the wealthy to spur investment in industry. He also gave rebates and tax abatements: between 1921 and 1929 he returned $3.5 billion to wealthy men.

“If someone strays into a pepper ball, then that’s on them,” Bovino said. “Don’t protest and don’t trespass.”

Bovino, you sorry excuse for a man—one cannot trespass on public property. Protest is a constitutional right.

Who you working for that you don’t know basic civics?
