Feds Tell Faith Leaders 'No More Prayer' Outside Broadview Facility In a possible violation of the First Amendment, federal officials instructed demonstrators to stop holding religious gatherings outside the immigration processing facility in suburban Broadview after ...

“During the call, the anonymous representative told a group of faith leaders and activists that ‘There is no more prayer in front of building or inside the building because this is the state and it’s not [of a] religious background.’”

These cowards can’t even talk to clergy face-to-face.

YouTube video by TheAlmightPat Ronald Regan Impersonator from Alpha House

Whole gag in Garry Trudeau's short-lived sitcom "Alpha House" of a Reagan impersonator performing at a GOP Senate retreat. They're all lathered up for red meat, and the impersonator only delivers quotes saying nice things about immigration, etc.

Trump approves disaster declarations for red states, as blue states go without “President Trump and his administration have politicized disaster relief,” one governor said, “and our communities are the ones who will pay the price.”

"The president’s statement announcing the relief funding emphasized the number of times he won Missouri’s electoral votes, as if there were some kind of connection between his political support in the state and his eagerness to provide disaster aid..."

First thing we do is rip his name off of every federal building anywhere it was placed.

Straight into a dumpster.

Oh yeah, I’m sure if Pres. Obama or Pres. Biden had torn down the entire East Wing of the White House for any reason, Republicans and conservatives would be very chill about it.

Sure, bud. Whatever helps you work through your cognitive dissonance.

If this had happened during a Democratic presidency Fox News would be 24 hours of nonstop “AMERICA DESECRATED!” headlines.

It’s far from the most important thing, morally right now, or in terms of the human stakes, but the ballroom thing is really breaking my brain.

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

Protesters have blocked the westbound side of Canal. They are chanting "ICE out of New York now!" and "Liberation, not deportation!"

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Trump's Ballroom Will 'Overwhelm' White House, National Trust Warns Preservationists fear for how Trump's planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom will sit alongside the White House itself, which is about 55,000 square feet.

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

This is insane.

“It won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of," Trump said in July. “It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.”
