NO FARMER BAILOUT

Farmers keep voting for their own destruction & my tax dollars shouldnโ€™t be used to fund it. Trumpโ€™s expected to announce a new bailout. He wrecked them w/tariffs, then acts like a hero by bailing them out w/our money.

Theyโ€™ll cash the check, then vote to burn it all down again.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

BREAKING:

The Supreme Court just rejected Ghislaine Maxwellโ€™s appeal of her criminal conviction for recruiting and grooming teenage girls for sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein.

The decision means that her conviction and 20-year criminal sentence remain in place.

We are the enemy because we do not feel threatened by diversity or inclusion. Decency will survive, but it will cost us.

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell' A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now itโ€™s commonplace.

Thatโ€™s not making America great again.
