Funny I see this after listening to a podcast which discussed, among other things, how the Mormon church inadvertently made young men more likely to masturbate to porn.

Corey Lewandowski is expected to leave DHS with Kristi Noem, according to Fox News' Jacqui Heinrich.

A Whte House source also says that "t was a combination of her many unfortunate leadership failures. From MN to the ad campaign to the allegations of an affair."

Iran’s Underground β€˜Missile Cities’ Have Become One of Its Biggest Vulnerabilities The bunkers, built to shield Iran’s vast missile arsenal from destruction, have become prime targets in the war.

Most of the planning for this campaign is being done by Millennials- veterans of Goldeneye 64, Halo, and Splatoon- so they're spawn camping Iranian missile launchers.

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

"In Kristi Noem's time fleecing the American people with her derelict of leadership at DHS, Chicago has withstood targeted attacks by DHS and the federal agents under its purview who have incited chaos in our communities with their violence and callous disregard for our residents' most basic human rights. Instead of seeking collaboration, Noem weaponized fear to undermine trust between communities and local law enforcement who work every day to keep our communities safe. Her tenure will be remembered by her brazen corruption, the reckless exploitation of vulnerable families to advance a far-right agenda, and willingness to put the President's interests over those of the American people. She will not be missed in Chicago."

Tom is right. ICE hasn't gone away, but seeing the aftermath of the siege of Minneapolis and you can definitely say it's people won that fight.

And if you’re writing me to say none of these people will ever face consequences even when we take back all branches of government that just isn’t helpful.

It’s up to us to elect candidates who will go after these corrupt freaks and maximize pressure on them until they do.

Dooming isn’t helpful.

I can't stop thinking about this because imagine having enough money to address every single problem in your life and still thinking it's better to risk having a suicide drone crash into your hotel room then pay a bit more in taxes.

I keep on saying: "Vote Red no matter who" is a real big deal that no one ever talks about.

At best, we can convince these people to stay home, or leave that part of the ballot blank, but that's all
