I don't know any American who is looking for another war over foreign oil or regime change. This Administration must be clear with the American public about their plan in Venezuela.

[email protected] : Were you satisfied with the answers you’ve gotten so far in this classified briefing on Venezuela?
AOC: Oh, hell no. It was a joke. This was not a serious intelligence briefing. This was the communication of an opinion.

Quite a long list. I don't think there has ever been an administration with more scumbags (deserving of coal) in the history of the country. Something we all can be proud of.

"Why don't you do something about it?" is what her teacher told her when she complained about conditions in school. So, she did something about it. Sounds like a great choice VA made to replace Robert E. Lee in Emancipation Hall in the Capitol. This young lady had guts & she deserves the honor. 🇺🇸
Barbara Rose Johns was 16 when she led a walkout at her high school, credited with helping end school segregation. Her statue replaces Robert E. Lee's, which was removed in 2020. n.pr/4iWEBF0
Her 1951 walkout helped end school segregation. Now her statue is in the U.S. Capitol

Stephen Miller is employing state terror in service of the open goal of shifting the ethnic mix of the country. In numerous ways he's doing this at the expense of public safety.
We spent weeks reporting on Miller's real aims. Here's the result. We hope you'll read:
