I don't think I've seen a network TV news report more transparently full of shit since maybe 2003, right before we invaded Iraq

"Many religions have attempted to make statues of their gods very large, and the idea, I suppose, is to make us feel small. But if that's their purpose, they can keep their paltry icons. We need only look up if we wish to feel small."

-Carl Sagan, The Varieties of Scientific Experience.

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

Why would the cartels want to stop ICE and CBP activities that have been diverting resources away from drug interdiction?

Not for nothing we should have started burning things down when the the private equity companies got into the business of private prisons in the 80s!

I had to listen to the audio to confirm it, but yes, as troops are being deployed to American cities, as masked goons are disappearing citizens from our streets, as ICE agents are shooting pepper balls at priests ... Mike Johnson thinks nude bicyclists are "the most threatening thing I've seen yet."

This is Bertrand Russell ANTIFA

You should know his story.

"The first step in a fascist movement is ... a number of men who possess ... brutality, and stupidity. The next step is to fascinate fools and muzzle the intelligent, by emotional excitement on the one hand and terrorism on the other."
