A year after I retired to the Outer Banks, my brother and his wife came to visit. We went to a nice restaurant on the water. Our waiter had an accent, and we asked where he was from. He told us “I’m a Somali”. My brother immediately responded “then maybe you could recommend a good wine. “

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

This latest reporting shows Bondi, Blanche, and others at the DOJ have been lying to the American people about the Epstein files since day one.
The less than 40,000 pages that have been released represent less than 0.01% of all the total documents.
They are hiding something.

One forgets that, although the music was better, the Beatles were really just as goofy as the Monkees. They were basically willing to do anything.

The NY Times just goes through the same Rolodex of voters who help them build the narrative they want to create. Rigged journalism.
Incredible lol

“The Kennedy Center is threatening to sue Chuck Redd to enforce the tyrannical precept that we are all, always, everywhere, the king’s performing monkeys. Are our voices our own?”
I stand with Chuck Redd for not allowing these fascists to commandeer his creative output for its own fascist purposes

The regime wants to turn artists into performing monkeys
But freedom of speech includes freedom to not praise the king.

A twenty-five year old leather wallet that has slid in and out of your back pocket every day for twenty-five years is a really beautiful thing. It has a lustre that’s hard to describe. Ancient artisans understood this.

President Trump’s spiteful defamation suit against the Pulitzer Prize Board may backfire, as the latter is now demanding Trump’s psychological records, prescription medication records, and tax returns in the discovery process. trib.al/qgeXZca
