Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American.

Two options:

1) ICE deliberately targeted him.

2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens.

Hard to say which option is scarier.

Some say it is illegal to arrest a sitting president. It is not. The president is subject to the law like everyone. That none have been arrested in the U.S. is only a policy internal to the DOJ based on the need for continuity of government operations--a policy that never imagined a criminal POTUS.

If you see John Roberts in person, be sure to tell him he’s a worse Chief Justice than Roger Taney (pronounced “tawny”). That’s a nerd burn that will hit him where it counts.

It's unbelievable how corrupt the Supreme Court is. It's insane that we are letting them get away with it. They are taking away all of our rights.

During his trip to China, Chinese security personnel didn’t want French President Emmanuel Macron to greet the crowds,

so,

he just took off running away from the Chinese Security guards and went straight up to greet the waiting crowds, and started shaking their hands!

Mockler: It's honestly humiliating that other countries are treating our president like a child, like a baby. It's like if I created a peace prize and I gave it to myself. I'm like, I'm just going to keep this medal on all night. Our president is an actual child

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

and they were scared that the university would slash their funding deal if they were seen hiring “DEI” hires.

I guess making high quality, usable web apps is “woke” now or something.

Literally “making things easy to use” is considered woke now

I never heard back. So jobs worldwide are hurting.

Mark Kelly: "He's talked about sending troops into more cities, he's talked about invoking the Insurrection Act. You don't have to go too far back to his 1st administration when he went to his Sec Def & said, 'Can't we just shoot these protesters in the legs.' That is an example of an illegal order"

The Saudi Crown Prince had Khashoggi dismembered in the Saudi embassy in Istanbul.

Dismembered while still alive.

But Khashoggi gave his phone to his fiancee and went in with his Apple Watch recording.

His watch was connected to his phone.

It captured the gruesome audio of his brutal killing.
