RFK Jr. features full cowboy regalia with chaps, flannel shirt and fringed vest, cowboy hat and a cigarette. A top his head is a cartoonish worm which share in his excitement or radiance, hat flung back. The patient in the iron lung is just along for the ride.

What is Trump gonna do with all that new security in Washington DC ?

He's going to throw the Ukraine war for Russia.

If Ukraine doesn't like the deal, he'll cut them off for being difficult.

MAGA doesn't care about Ukraine. 🇺🇦

Trump would have thrown it sooner if not for Neocons in the Pentagon.

There was a time when I thought being a war correspondent would be a way to deal with the Iraq wars. What a hellish job and I have since seen the gruesome coverage of many wars. But nothing compares to Gaza. Five more journalists killed by Israeli bombs last night.

Here are the crime rates of Washington DC,
verses those of RED states.

There is no justification for National Guard in DC.

This is an autocratic misdirection. It is also another legal precursor to deploying larger forces in Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago.

Below, crime rates per 1000 citizens
Republican home states crime rates : Mike Johnson (speaker) Louisiana's 4th - 6.2/1000 John Thune of South Dakota - 2.7/1000 Lindsey Graham of South Carolina - 4.7/1000 Marco Rubio of Florida - 3.8/1000 Greg Abbott of Texas - 4.06/1000 Tommy Tuberville of Alabama - 4.04/1000

A minor spelling mistake does not dampen the message, "Only you can prevent FACIST (fascist) LIARS. A protest sign made in Virginia feature "Smokey the bear" and this is a play on "Forest Fires." A simple and creative poster that was made with construction paper and a creative mind for the right cause.

A scenic photo of Coast Highway is presented, with a cross walk to the beach. On the light post is a flier for a demonstration against Donald Trump and his current anti-democratic regime. They have broken all norms, of checks and balances, and Trump rules like a rotten King. The flier is stark and white with the Statue of Liberty and reads : SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY. This has been the flier which has gotten torn down the least. Another scenic photo of Coast Highway is presented, with a cross walk to the beach.
