β€œIf the West Wing is the mind of the nation, then the East Wing is the heart.”

- former First Lady Betty Ford

Over a century of American history, reduced to rubble.

All to appease the vanity of a corrupt authoritarian.

Phoenix man accused of threatening to shoot up gay bar amid political anger A Phoenix man is in jail after police say he threatened to shoot up a gay bar near his apartment reportedly because he was angry about recent political violence across the country.

An Arizona man is facing felony charges for threatening to shoot up a gay bar to avenge Charlie Kirk. He was convinced the shooter had "transgender ideology." Fortunately, he was stopped, but this is on the media for running with the erroneous WSJ reporting. www.azfamily.com/2025/09/19/p...

NEW ANGLE

Watch and decide, but I was never fully convinced he was shot in the first place. Never mind that his ear should’ve been blown offβ€”now completely healed. Or that the Secret Service took their time getting him offstage.

But from this angle: you see the photographers guided into place…
