All pedos need to be prosecuted, whether they are from camp or Epstein. A country that doesn't protect its most vulnerable is not much of a country.

Trump at Natl Prayer Breakfst: "We prefer somebody that's a strong, powerful person w/extremely good vision that can shoot a rifle very well to a person that's extremely weak, non-muscular, can't shoot a rifle, has no idea where the hell he is. We have a military where they all look like Tom Cruise"

"The elections are key. Getting rid of the illegals is good. But the important thing is staying in power. If my numbers keep going down, I’m not sure even we can rig the elections that much" - Trump?

In 1960, Ruby Bridges walked into an empty school to change the world. 🕊️
Despite her father losing his job, her grandparents being evicted, and every teacher but one refusing to instruct her, Ruby stayed. She turned a year of isolation into a lifetime of activism.

Operation Metro Surge is not making Minnesota safer. Today's announcement is a step in the right direction, but we need a faster and larger drawdown of forces, state-led investigations into the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, and an end to this campaign of retribution.
With the immediate removal of 700 federal agents from Minnesota, border czar Tom Homan put the total number of agents remaining in the state at approximately 2,000.
That’s still a dramatic increase from the normal immigration and enforcement staffing in Minnesota of around 150 agents.
