Retired Navy, retired Correction Officer, retired VA. Progressive resister. Proudly ANTIFA! No porn. I retired to my forever home, ageing gracefully in the beautiful north woods of Minnesota. If God ever retires, I'm pretty sure this is where he'll come.

Good news from the Federal Reserve. NOT! "Excluding more volatile food and energy prices, annual inflation in August was at 3 percent, the PCE data shows." So as long as we don't eat or drive, there is no inflation. Wow! Who knew the economy was so great?

From his administration’s first day in Jan. 2021, Biden increased border enforcement—arrests, detentions, and removals of border crossers all increased.

Set the record straight Data obtained by the Cato Inst through the Freedom of Information Act that Biden had open borders. In fact, the border crisis began before Biden took office and ended before he left.

Pentagon chief stuck to his culture-war grievances, stripping the “woke” out of the Department of Defense (DOD), bashing the news media for its coverage of the Iran war, and proclaiming the “warrior ethos” has been revived and the U.S. military has been “rebuilt.” This sounds crazy

When you have no evidence, no argument and no decency, smear someone as a pedophile and hide behind you gotta wonder, hillbilly vance isn’t asking a question, he’s planting an accusation he admits he can’t prove. That’s not leadership. It’s political sewage dressed up as concern for children.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

While I'm enjoying the humiliation justifiably being heaped on Senator Eric Schmitt, I don't don't think enough mockery is being directed at his accomplice, Senator Kennedy, the Cornpone Clown, with this stupidly victorious expression as he smugly holds up the ridiculous "evidence."
