You know how the Trump administration accuses Dems of hiring protesters…
Every accusation is an admission

Why aren’t the “genocide Joe” people protesting at ALL Trump administration events like they did when Biden-Harris were in office?

Don’t show me one example of such a protest. Show me the sustained commitment to interrupting all events, as was the case with Biden—and even former VP Harris, still‼️

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

Kamala Harris: "Here in Chicago I'm told the helicopters that were descending on an American city were Black Hawks. Do you know what Black Hawks were designed to do? War. So I think everyone can draw their conclusions just based on the facts."

Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

This is a war for the truth as much as anything.

Tweet from Acyn that says: “Noem: I was in Portland on Tuesday, met the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police. They are all lying. Dishonest people.” Below, a Fox News broadcast shows Trump leading a cabinet meeting at the White House with several officials around a long table.

I know that a lot of people have to turn hobbies into hustles for survival, but we shouldn’t make that the standard expectation to make ends meet. Jobs need to pay more. You deserve to have time to do things simply bring you joy.

So, Tom Homan can straight accept a bag of $50K in cash from the FBI in a sting operation, have the investigation dismissed by this corrupt Justice Department, but all of Trump's critics somehow face indictments?

Cool, cool. Cool.

So, the president of the United States casually mentioned that he took away free speech. Just in case you missed that.

With all the crap that is killing our children and the diseases that plague our children, this moron wants to focus on Autism? Wtf is his deal with Autism. It’s not a disease or life threatening, he just has some type of obsession.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."
