Hiring Clare Locke, specifically, is evidence that you are against free speech. The law firm *brags* about how its specialty is protecting the rich and famous from "unfair" media coverage.

TPUSA brands itself as “guiding citizens through development of knowledge, skills, values, and motivation so they can meaningfully engage in their communities to restore traditional American values like patriotism” but what it really does is it finds the biggest crybabies and snitches in your area

Putting aside the merits of generic vs brand name turkey, this isn't evidence of prices falling. Presumably, generic turkey was always cheaper.
Kevin Hassett: "Turkey prices were down 19 cents. I bought two different ones because some other show was criticizing me because I said, 'Oh, generic turkeys are pretty good.' So I made two this time and I didn't really notice the difference, so buy the cheaper turkey next year, folks."

Lincoln was re-elected on a party platform saying "That foreign immigration, which in the past has added so much to the wealth, development of resources and increase of power to this nation, the asylum of the oppressed of all nations, should be fostered and encouraged by a liberal and just policy."
They're not hiding it, folks—straight up neo-Nazi advertising, from the font to the language to the 11 stars for the Confederacy. Then you have the DHS openly using white nationalist language of "remigrate", which means ethnic cleansing.
This is who MAGA is now.

The reason people don't like conservative students is that whenever they're inconvenienced or annoyed they throw a tantrum and call in national media to terrorize their peers.

I don't want to get my hopes up about a GOP Senator actually acting on core American principles against the Trump regime's egregious violations, but Armed Services Committee Chair Roger Wicker vowing oversight of illegal Caribbean boat strikes looks like a move in that direction.

Goldsmith was head of George W. Bush's DOJ OLC and is a respected conservative, not afraid of executive power. He's not John Yoo, but then I think even Yoo has expressed doubts about the legality of these strikes
Harvard Law School’s Jack Goldsmith:
