I see that Candace Owens is making claims about the TPUSA halftime show.
As amusing as it might be if her claims are true, let’s be clear: this is a woman who also says that Macron’s wife is a man and that Charlie Kirk’s assassination was a conspiracy. So why would I believe anything that she says?

I interviewed a family of Russian asylum seekers who’ve been held more than four months at the Dilley detention center in Texas.
As we spoke over Zoom this week, their daughter Kamilla was one day shy of turning 12. I asked her what she wanted for her birthday.
She replied: “To get out of here.”

This is horrific: “‘One of the big questions...has been the pace of detention by ICE, that it's been below what investors

So dark — Tennessee-based @CoreCivic wants to be making even more money on ICE detentions.
“ICE was our first customer 43 years ago, and has been our largest customer for over a decade,” CoreCivic CEO Patrick Swindle said on the earnings call.

You’ll understand US culture more once you learn about their listed serving size of cereal (1 cup) compared to the real amount they devour (2 rubbish bins).
The lesson isn’t that they eat a lot (they do), but that they’ll never change the serving size, opting for a self-imposed purgatory. -Envoy

I’m sure the lawmakers who were outraged that their toll (phone) records were obtained in the course of a predicated federal investigation through a subpoena are going to back Rep. Jayapal in being outraged at just lawless surveillance of her (and likely others’) search history, right?
"It is totally inappropriate and against the separations of powers for the DOJ to surveil us as we search the Epstein files. (US Attorney General) Bondi showed up today with a burn book that held a printed search history of exactly what emails I searched." - Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA).

This is impeachable all by itself.
Just take a look at this and remember, Pam Bondi's concern here was not with any of the victims of these crimes but with the nosy Democrats who actually gave a shit about them.
