Nor have they mentioned Circuit Court Judge Diane Goodstein's house burning to the ground as being potentially an actual of political violence.

AOC Calls on Supporters to โ€˜Laughโ€™ at MAGA โ€˜Menโ€™ โ€” Starting With โ€˜Clownโ€™ Stephen Miller AOC called on Democrats and activists to โ€œlaughโ€ at โ€œinsecureโ€ MAGA "men" as she zeroed in on Stephen Miller.

These hyper-masculine types are rarely, if ever, among the bravest, or most confident people. On the contrary. They tend to try to take the psychological edge with their bluster. But when challenged or exposed, they almost always fail to live up to that facade.

South Carolina judgeโ€™s $1.5m home destroyed in huge fire with family forced to jump out of window Circuit court justice Diane Goodstein, who ruled against Trump administration last month, was out walking when mansion erupted into flames

Circuit Court Judge Diane Goodstein had recently denied the trump administration access to sensitive state voter registration documents. Coincidence? I think not.

There would be a bigger turnabout if the troops were either ordered to or given leeway to ignore those illegal orders by the stone faced generals who sat and endured that speech. Maybe they are already conspiring on the right time and place to put on the brakes. They may be our most powerful allies.

Just in case you weren't paying attention,...! It would almost seem as if the ICE threat against the halftime performance was a marketing ploy. MAGATs really want to see Bad Bunny arrested onstage, and everyone else really wants to see him perform.

Another fine example of morality on the right. I have long said that their claims of moral authority while standing behind the Bible were merely a facade that each and every staunch Christian conservative uses. And they know that all of their ilk are doing the same thing.

Stephen Miller is a cancer. One look at him, and it is obvious that he is evil incarnate, in the mold of the perpetrators of the worst atrocities humanity has ever endured.

States try getting tough on political violence after Charlie Kirk killing Lawmakers have been grappling with violence legislation after a year of targeted attacks.

Now, how about legislation that curtails inflammatory political speech? Newt Gingrich made it "en vogue" during the Reagan revolution, Republicans increasingly pushed the boundaries, and trump pushed it to all new heights. The left was forced to respond to compete.

ICE Barbie had agents repelling into Chicago from choppers like commandos in enemy territory. And we were naive enough to think that Americans were better than to turn on fellow countrymen like this at the behest of a mad man, because history supposedly taught us better.

โ€˜I donโ€™t know why I need to go to collegeโ€™: Ford CEO says his Gen Z son worked as a mechanic and wondered if the 4-year degree was still worth it Jim Farley hosted a panel with Mike Rowe, who said, โ€œNothing in the history of Western civilization has gotten more expensive, more quicklyโ€ than college.

I spent 30 years in the electrical field. I struggled through an era of low wages and few benefits, if any. The devaluation of the skilled tradesman has led to this crisis. I am now a disabled former master electrician with little to show for my 30 years of service.

My fellow Americans, you know what to do! Threaten the NFL in their wallets. This is their biggest money grub of the year. Every stadium seat empty. Zero television and streaming ratings. A complete boycott of the super bowl. Make your voices heard! It is our country!

This is all for show, to use the NFL's largest platform to instill fear throughout the US, and possibly finally create the massive civil unrest trump so craves. Bad Bunny is Puerto Rican. That means he is an AMERICAN CITIZEN!

Some educators who lost jobs over Charlie Kirk comments are now suing Dozens of school and university employees were investigated, suspended or fired for their comments about Charlie Kirk. Some are fighting back.

Every individual who lost a job over unfavorable Kirk posts should sue. Even though he was in the public eye, he was a private citizen, just like you and me. I wouldn't expect people to lose jobs because they said something negative about me. Its just wrong.

Mormon church gunman was Marine โ€˜who supported Trumpโ€™ The gunman who rammed his truck into a Mormon church and opened fire on worshippers was an Iraq war veteran who had previously shown support for Donald Trump.

As trump desperately tries to spin this spate of violent attacks as being perpetrated by left wing groups, they keep proving to be of his own fold. He fomented this wave that keeps blowing up in his face. He has created a ragtag army that he can't control.

In the headlines on 12/30/2003.

"Attorney General John Ashcroft on Tuesday recused himself from the investigation of who leaked the name of a CIA operative. The Justice Department named a special prosecutor to take over the investigation: Patrick Fitzgerald, the U.S. attorney in Chicago."

It took me a minute to dust out the cobwebs on that one, but now I remember Fitzgerald being in the news back around the Scooter Libby trial. Lets just say, I wouldn't want to be in Lindsey Halligan's shoes.
