Media outlets who refuse to describe in plain terms what the president did because they find it objectionable are lying to their audiences and running cover for the president. It's as simple as that.

A big part of the problem is the national political media refuse to show what’s going on.

For several years, I lived an hour south of Syracuse on a grad school stipend of $11,000 for the entire year. The Hitler Middle Age here spent twice that in a weekend.

The same day political violence took lives, GOP candidate for governor Winsome Earle-Sears told a clergy luncheon: “We’ve got huge firepower… flak jackets… grenades. We’re gonna use them.” This isn’t leadership—it’s a threat. Virginians deserve better than this reckless, violent thinking.

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

Trump says names of military bases that were changed after racial justice protests in 2023 will be restored. They were named for Confederate traitors. Fort Bragg's & Benning's names are already restored and Trump said forts Pickett, Hood, Gordon, Rucker, Polk, AP Hill & Robert E. Lee will be too.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.
