I lost my daughter 3 years ago. She was 37, and left behind my 2 granddaughters who Iโ€™m helping to raise. I understand completely.

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say heโ€™ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans.

Nero would be proud.

Exactly that. I hate to lose hope, but I ask myself everyday why we arenโ€™t uprising because if we donโ€™t soon, all is lost.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.
