Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

When a president sends troops into American cities to โ€œrestore order,โ€ what heโ€™s really doing is testing obedience. Portland and Chicago arenโ€™t war zonesโ€ฆtheyโ€™re warning shots. Authoritarians donโ€™t announce takeovers. They practice them. One city at a time. However, each practice destroys families.

Traditional media has been taken over by the oligarchs and we're being fed propaganda by all of them. Look for independent media. There are still some good journalists hiding out there. Take it from a grizzled old reporter.

House Speaker Mike Johnson says that the expiration of ACA tax credits is an โ€œextraneous matter.โ€

But there is nothing extraneous about 20 million hard-working Americans who cannot afford higher health insurance premiums next year.

More than 10 percent of of people in NC are uninsured. Medicaid is being slashed. Subsidy for Obamacare are about to go, raising premiums up to 75 percent. No one can afford that. They donโ€™t care who dies. We mean nothing to them.

This waste of space was my โ€œrepresentativeโ€ in Congress for a single term. He is purely despicable.

Republicans donโ€™t care if we die. We must stand up to them.

Chuck Schumer is incompetent, a bungling fool. It's time for him to go home.

FYI. If the Govt shuts down, everyone stays in town including the president but youโ€™re just bored with nothing to do because itโ€™s all messaging and negotiations.

GREAT TIME TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

So, are we going to wait for the Orange Toddler to declare martial law before anyone triess to stop him? We're getting too close for comfort when a sitting "president" talks about using Democrat-controlled cities as military training grounds.

I called the local Sinclair station and told them I woukd boycott all their advertisers until they put Kimmel back on the air. I know I wasn't alone because they put Kimmel back on the air.
