Don Lemon arrested. Washington Post reporter's home raided. Minnesota journalist taken from her house. Three journalists targeted in two weeks — and the pattern is unmistakable. www.facebook.com/share/185JsF...

What happens when law enforcement knocks on your door — and where does the Constitution draw the line?
This isn’t about politics — it’s about how government power is supposed to work and who decides when it goes too far.

Now this: Donald Trump reportedly sent a letter to Norway’s prime minister while pressing Europe over Greenland that included:
“Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize”
That’s… the tone.

Wars don’t always start because of real threats.Sometimes they start because of bad assumptions, or bruised egos.
In 1898, the USS Maine exploded. Spain was blamed. Turns out it was likely an accident.
Result: the Spanish–American War.
Slogan: Remember the Maine.

Congress passed a law requiring the DOJ to release all Epstein files by December 19, 2025. That deadline has passed, yet less than 1% of the material is public.

“My own morality is the only thing that can stop me” — President Trump to NYT
When a president says his personal morality is the only limit on his power, we need to ask: whose morality? And what happens when laws take a back seat to one person’s moral compass?

When a Cabinet secretary labels an American citizen a "domestic terrorist" before any investigation is complete, that's not normal — and it should concern everyone, regardless of political views or what you think happened.
