Pam Bondi: "ANTIFA is a very organized criminal organization. You're seeing people out there with thousands of signs that all match, pre-bought, pre-put together. We're gonna get to the root of ANTIFA, and we're gonna find and charge all of those people."

Come get me, Pammy Jo.

Polling by The Times shows that the percentage of the people in Scotland who, in any way, identify as british has fallen off a cliff……and continues to fall !

Another indicator of the inevitability of Scottish independence

Trump’s everlasting peace in the Middle East held for 24 hours, so now he has to defend Hamas killing people to keep his Nobel Prize hopes alive.

If you’re a man in the room and a public official says this about your female colleague, you don’t continue as if nothing happened.

Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”?

Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.

Just one "verified" Tren de Aragua member and one U.S. citizen with an active warrant were among the 37, DHS said, without saying how it had verified that gang affiliation. Others taken that day, the agency said, were "illegal aliens."

Y'all hate Schumer, but Fetterman voted to let Trump have unlimited war powers.

So, Gaza = A Casino
West Banks = Luxury development

Venezuela, Greenland, you name it, your boy Shitterman voted yes to his Master's Master Plan.

BREAKING: FBI documents from 2008 confirm that Jeffrey Epstein provided information to the FBI as part of a non-prosecution agreement with the State of Florida.

In return, federal charges were dropped as long as Epstein upheld the terms of his plea deal.
