The president is making US policy friendlier to North Korea and Russia than Canada and Oman. Are you kidding me?

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

Ossoff: He’s trying to put his face on the money. He's building a monument to himself . But see, Atlanta, he's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he’s gone… because he's a failed president and a national disgrace.

It is worth saying that it appears that the brave and principled actions of people of Minneapolis and the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good seem to have been a legitimate inflection point in American politics. We should carry that forward with us.

Whether they speak up or not, thousands of real, trained law enforcement officers around the country know the Rachel Good shooting was dirty and this one is even worse. But the Code of Silence from the blue will keep them from defending basic human rights and dignity in America.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

Western media & politicians constantly claim one "evidence" Muslims are extremists is due to "child soldiers." CIA recruited DC shooter at ~15 to become a child soldier. We see the horrific result. Yet 0 talk of accountability for CIA who recruited and trained him. Every accusation is a confession.
