We must preserve the US Postal Service because UPS or FedEx would never do this.

“the party being led by jeffrey epsteins best friend wants to repeatedly examine your childs genitals” is a true statement

Let’s celebrate the hard work and positive attitude of Hispanics in the USA! ✊🏽

This powerful message: “I did the research and found out I was wrong.”

I’m not going to say much more except please take the time to watch. Then send it around to family and friends, no matter their political persuasion.

F.D.A. Updates Recall of Tomatoes, Warning of a High Risk of Illness or Death

The FDA has updated an ongoing recall of tomatoes distributed in Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina to its most severe warning, saying there is a higher probability that potential salmonella contamination could lead to “serious adverse health consequences or death.”

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

Thank you! I found my family’s ancestral home in Dunmore, Galway, back in 2017, and with everything happening in the states, my husband and I are considering returning.

For those who sacrificed all, and the ones who will never forget them.

Did you have to have family connections to get citizenship, or were you able to just apply through the government?

Been saying this since 2016

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

ICE raids have 'overwhelmed' coastal California communities Communities in three California counties "overwhelmed" as ICE raids ramp up in the region.

A man pulled up to a gas station to fill up his truck. ICE agents surrounded him and took him away. But his children were left behind.
“They arrested someone,” witness said. “They left the children inside the truck.”
