In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said β€œwe went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

A. Philip Randolph didn’t wait for freedom. He demanded it.

I have an in-law who told me that AOC is "a dumb bartender."

I replied, "I've watched her question witnesses before Congress with more skill than most lawyers in courtrooms. Stop watching Fox News. It is filling your head with porridge. Oh, and I thought you people were FOR people having jobs."

β€˜Pretty in Pink’ Will Return to Theaters Ahead of Its 40th Anniversary Paramount Pictures and Fathom Entertainment are bringing "Pretty in Pink" back to the big screen in celebration of its 40th anniversary.

I don’t know if this movie is appropriate for Valentine’s Day considering in that it is the story of a guy in love with a girl who kisses another guy in the parking lot after the prom.

Note the framing here:

It’s β€œDemocrats have refused to fund” DHS and not β€œRepublicans refused to prohibit face masks” or β€œthe two parties could not agree on how to reform the agency.”

Speaking the truth

Will another impeachment happen?

Does it matter?

Without conviction and removal it's a joke

Women will rise to protect the lives of children.

It is human nature at its best , safeguarding all children, supporting one another, and defending our right to vote.

It is time for the old guard to step aside; our day is approaching.

WE FOUND THE WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE.

Nope! I don’t want my tax dollars funding DHS brutality, and I definitely don’t want it paying for Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski to jet-set around the country and fuck in a private cabin on a luxury $70M 737 Max.

Listen to this mess.

Narrator: Barbara Pilling was a young model in New York. She first saw Donald Trump at a party in the late 80s. She's never spoken publicly about it before.

Pilling: He said, how old are you? And I said, 17. He goes, oh, great. So you're not too old, not too young. That's just great.

Host: So when Donald Trump walked in, there were women in there who weren't fully clothed.

Hughes: Correct. Women were not fully clothed when Donald Trump came in.

Host: And some of those women were, what, as young as 15?

Hughes: Yeah, as 15 years old.

We all know Pam Bondi is full of shit about literally everything, but I’m revisiting this because people need to understand the real Culver City.

And Pam Bondi needs to keep all of Los Angeles out of her mouth.

Judge Boasberg’s Most Recent Decision The plaintiffs in J.G.G.

Requiring the gov’t to do the right thing may look like a small thing in the context of one case, but it’s important to understand just how big it is. Judge Boasberg rules in the case where the Trump administration sent men to CECOT prison. joycevance.substack.com/p/judge-boas...

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ β€œnew restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.

The people who are telling you they are withdrawing ICE from Minnesota are the same people who told you a year ago they would release the Epstein Files in full.

They are not to be trusted. They are allergic to truth and incapable of decency.

Stay vigilant.
Stay united.
Keep fighting.
We will win.
