Rep. Brian Steil thinks you should have to register ahead of time with the government if you want to buy beer!
And they can throw you off the beer list every year if you don’t buy enough, or answer their beer questionnaires!
He hates freedom!

Rep. Brian Steil: "I flew home to my home state of Wisconsin, went to buy a 6 pack a beer, the clerk asked for my ID, confirmed it, and then I was allowed to buy the beer. I just think it's nuts that we protect our beer more than our ballots."

Walking around DC is a great way to remember that our nation’s history is many things—profoundly ugly, occasionally noble, once or twice brilliant—but none of it is erasable by one man. Donald Trump, as we all know, is the smallest man in history. He shall be overcome.

I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.
But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.
