There are more of us than there are of them.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

With all the talk of the left being terrorists, does anyone else remember this

“The polite phrase for this is ‘democratic backsliding.’ But that’s a euphemism that doesn’t meet the moment. Let’s call it what it is: it’s a power grab. The rule of law isn’t slipping; leaders are sabotaging it. Rights aren’t being neglected; they’re being stripped."

Honoring Ashli Babbitt Dishonors the Military If there’s no difference between upholding the Constitution and attacking it, then there’s no honor in service.

"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power."

Labor Day - sunny 79.
Taste of fall by midweek.”
