Gov. Shapiro: RFK is playing games with people’s lives here in Pennsylvania.” He won’t even acknowledge the deaths here in Pennsylvania. He actually accused me of fabricating it and making it up, even when the families of those loved ones who have perished have expressed their sadness and grief.

To be clear, the current President of Cornell was Provost (second in command) at the time of the Cornell 7 gang rape, meaning he definitely knew of everything including the cover up, so he can spare me the bullshit about calling for the university to do better or else he would’ve resigned by now.

Now that all frivolous charges against him have been dropped regarding the MAGA regime’s deliberate sabotage of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, I sincerely hope former Olympian David Hearn sues the shit out all of them for unjustly charging him with their destruction of govt property crime.

The U.S. has ~96,000 polling places. Even 1,000 DOJ monitors could cover only about 1% at once, and no troop deployment to polling sites has been announced. Stay alert. Don’t amplify the idea that they’ll be everywhere. So yes, they arey trying to intimidate voters. But panic helps them.
