The thing to understand is that district court judges have to follow the law and Supreme Court Justices get to just make up the law.

It clear to me that the felon wants the Epstein stuff to disappear. Keep talking about. Keep asking about it. The felon is in the report. Donโ€™t forget about the lawsuit where together they raped a 13 year old.

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of reasons to believe that Donald Trump is a fool.

But the fact that it took almost a decade for him to figure out that Putin has been playing him for one is as good as any.

Emancipated at 14 and lived on the streets... it was horrible and dangerous; but, I survived.

I raised my sons by myself with no help from others

I taught my two son's to be honorable and always treat women with the respect that they deserve.

When a Supreme Court Justice says that no rights are safe under the new legal framework created by the court, it is not merely an opinion โ€” it is a profound warning that shakes the very foundation of democracy.
