kirk was tasked and paid millions to groom our young adults into these young Republican beliefs. (Just as Von Schirach did for hitler. I suppose Hitler gave him a medal for it too).He and others twisted and perverted Christianity to support exactly what you read here.

It’s not just the I-5. All businesses and housing would have to be evacuated.

The Navy HAS NEVER done a live fire onto Camp Pendleton because it’s unsafe. There is literally no Navy SOP to do this, no NOTAM or TFR issued, & no evac order given.

San Clemente Island is where the Navy test fires.

Trump just upped his bail-out for Argentina from $20 billion to $40 billion. Argentina has government run healthcare that's available to all Argentinians.

Yet Trump has shut down the American government while trying to take healthcare away from millions of Americans.

What say you, Republicans?

“I don’t mask and I’m not sick”

“I don’t know anyone with Long Covid”

“I’m not worried I trust my immune system”

“If I get sick I will try harder to get better”

These are all coping mechanisms.
