Although classified as carnivores, wolves may sometimes follow an omnivorous diet. They can eat meat, eggs and even fruit!

This time of year, pumpkins are a special treat for our ambassador wolves.🎃 #wolffact

You are trying to either incite violence or ellicit other people’s plans for committing violence. I am inclined toward neither. But that doesn’t mean I’m doing nothing.

For the new users, please understand that there are bots all over this website too but instead of being Nazi bots they’re weird liberals that post incoherently annoying replies all day. Also like 30% of them aren’t bots at all but Gen X posters. You can’t tell the difference

At a raid on the drop-off line at a local elementary school, hundreds of parents had ICE surrounded within three minutes. ICE gave up and fled.

I think the idea of "cancel culture" persists mainly because it conveniently is some outside force acting on someone rather than them torching their reputation all on their own

Trump and Vought are now breaking both sides of spending law. They’re illegally not spending where the law requires them to spend, and they’re illegally spending where they don’t have the money to spend.

What we have is an appropriations king.

Spending “deals” are meaningless under that setup.

Trump's collosal bung to his Argentinian friend (now lookin like irs going to be double the original amount, 40 billion dollars) is starting to look very much like daylight robbery of American taxpayers.

All the "lifelong Democrats" who wrote San Francisco Doom Loop articles over the last 3 years, about how it's the trashiest worst most dangerous city, will be so very happy to hear Trump's announcement just now that his goons are going to Make SF Safe Again

epic bacon wrong! groups like tpusa and the federalist society were formed to create a populist base of overt racists and erode the legal consequences of being overtly racist!

For those tempted to say Young Republicans have always been this way, they really have not. When I worked on campus and did bipartisan college events after, they were very much not like this.

That’s why groups like YCT and eventually TPUSA formed — because Young Republicans weren’t radical enough.
