First it was European migrants, then it was international migrants, then asylum seekers, now they want mass deportations, then it’ll be enforced remigration, then “ne’erdowells” then what? Non-Christians? Non-Saxons? People with brown hair?

I’m challenging my teen kids to read the banned books. Looking at the lists online-they’re an odd mix. Told my kids I’d pay them $10 a book 🤣 Some of the lists online have very silly inclusions like The Hunger Games. What book would you put on the list and why would you include it?

We’re spending a lot of time talking about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. But don’t forget their victims. The survivors. Not all of them made it. At least two women connected to Epstein’s abuse have died by suicide. The real number may be higher. Jeffrey Epstein accuser, Maria Farmer, speaks out.

Reminder: we don't need Ghislaine Maxwell to get to the truth. It's sitting in files inside the DOJ that they could release TODAY. She is a liar, a child rapist, and a sex trafficker. Blanche is meeting with her to buy her silence, nothing more.

Maria Farmer is a strong inspiring survivor of Maxwell and Epstein’s abuses. She’s right when she says pedophilia is not a partisan issue but rather a societal problem. We need to give a voice to the victims who want to testify and trust them. We should not rely on an abuser to know what happened.

When it comes to Epstein, the grand jury transcripts aren’t the ones that people seeking the truth should be interested in. Prosecutors always say, “Follow the money.” That’s as true here as in any other case. Read about how it could happen: joycevance.substack.com/p/laffaire-e...

When people lose their health coverage, that doesn’t mean they stop getting sick. Without insurance, they avoid getting preventative care, and they end up in the emergency room — raising health insurance premiums for everybody else. Now that it’s law, the Big Ugly Bill will cost all of us.
