My three-year-old was listening to the Tucker Carlson show when she turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy, why did the shitlibs cancel Adolf Hitler?" And when I told her "Because he was the only world leader who had the guts to stand up for white people," she started crying.

Many Chicago area schools on soft lockdown because men in masks with guns are randomly kidnapping people off the streets. On Halloween. In America.

COUNT I

Kat Abughazaleh did, while law enforcement was in heated pursuit, paint what appeared to be the entrance to a cave on a sheer rock wall, causing law enforcement to forcibly bonk into said wall.

COUNT II

The same thing on a different wall, but then a train came out and ran us over???

Trump Administration Live Updates: Pentagon Accepts $130 Million Donation to Help Pay Troops During Shutdown
