Dean Martin, born Dino Paul Crocetti, son of Italian immigrant Gaetano Crocetti Frank Sinatra, son of Italian immigrants Antonino Sinatra and Natalina Garavanta Merry Christmas to everyone except Stephen Miller and his enablers and handlers
Stephen Miller • @St... • 13m Ø
Watched the Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra Family Christmas with my kids.
Imagine watching that and thinking America needed infinity migrants from the third world.

Trafficked children don’t care about politics. They care if someone comes for them. Around the world, justice is delayed while evidence is buried…and the man atop the United States helps keep the truth from daylight.

It’s hard to believe that one man can cause so much stress, so much fear, so much pain and suffering…a man who took an oath to preserve and protect our Constitution. This man, who is inciting terror across our land, must be removed from office. In a sane world, it would happen immediately.

Congress should not let up on contempt for Bondi. They must bring her b4 committee, under oath. Except this time when she starts with her CRAP, they must be prepared to have the Sgt. At Arms, put her in cuffs. Period.

The U.S. government just banned five people from entering the country because it doesn’t like their speech. This ban, according to the State Department, is necessary to protect free speech. If that sounds insane to you, congratulations on your reading comprehension.

The first and last lines of Joni Ernst’s legacy as a human on earth will be that she was instrumental in the confirmation of the Sec of Defense most hostile to women serving in military, and she knew that when she voted for him.

Families are already hanging by a thread, but the sad truth is it’s about to get a lot worse when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November. It’s time to find our local food banks and help out with donations and volunteer hours if you are able.

In the midst of a government shutdown, and in the face of fundamental challenges to the rule of law and to democratic accountability, the House of Representatives--the people's house, the heart of our democratic republic--hasn't cast a vote since Sep. 19. An extraordinary failure of responsibility.

I’ve posted about the Epstein files every day for many months, I write about the Epstein files every day, and we talk about the Epstein files every week on the pod. And I won’t stop until the full, unredacted (except for victim/witness info) files have been released.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

“For Christians, the problem of the poor leads to the very heart of our faith,” Pope Leo says, because “the poor are not a sociological category, but the very ‘flesh’ of Christ.” “No Christian can regard the poor simply as a societal problem; they are part of our ‘family.’ They are ‘one of us.’”

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens. They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

(1/3) I think Ed makes a pretty strong point here about Lindsey Halligan: She hasn't been lawfully appointed under 28 U.S.C. § 546, and as he also points out, his view is supported by a 1986 OLC opinion written by some guy named … {checks notes} … Samuel A. Alito. (1/3)
