But it’s not a war….

THIS MAKES ME SICK: So many need to rot in hell for destroying this agency. As they say the body rots from the head.

Right, JD.

UPDATE: Sunny, a U.S. citizen, is on her way home after being shipped across state lines overnight.

How the hell did this happen?

Press conference tomorrow at Broadview, where we will hear Sunny’s side of the story. More details soon.

I just left a concert fundraising for the National Immigrant Justice Center to head to Broadview.

Here’s why:

It was more like exposing their plan advance. Their every accusation continues to be just another confession.

All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Respect recognizes respect.

We are currently outside the ICE Broadview concentration camp where Sunny Naqvi’s family believes her to be held after being detained in O’Hare by federal authorities.

You don’t get to thank veterans for their service and then gut the VA.

Donald Trump’s reckless DOGE cuts have eliminated tens of thousands of VA jobs where about a third of those workers are veterans themselves.

The cover has a light blue sky in the upper half. Charlotte's Web is written in blue-green letters, all joined by a spider's web. Hanging down from the C in Charlotte is a spider on a thread. In the lower half is a young girl in a[ponytail, wearing a red top. She's facing left, towards the spider, holding a pig under her left arm. A sheep looks on on the left. A goose looks on on the right. She's leaning on a wooden fence, on which the author's name is printed in red and Garth Williams's in black.

The story behind the story. White decides to write about a spider; many drafts and “ripening time” later, he takes it to #UrsulaNordstrom; they collaborate with Garth Williams.

It wasn’t a question. It was an observation of an obvious fact.

It’s not enough.

47 years of demonizing Iran for crimes committed and imaged future crimes, that’s all I see, this is all wrong. Now that it’s happening the president is calling on anyone fighting to lay down their arms. If they did that, who would they surrender to? Who? They just want to keep killing.

Mark Wayne Mullen is just the replacement to ensure none of that happens.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Worst possible replacement for the puppy killer.

Let’s say right now, they all hear that, they lay down their arms and stop fighting; who will they be surrendering to? Who? We have no boots on the ground. Our allies have no boots on the ground. Who would they surrender to?

tRump did not approve her stupid ad, He could care less about anything she did, to include the killing of two Americans.

Wow. He’s just not good at this whole project. Not good at all.

He tore down the East Wing of our White House. We all saw it. For me it was an unexpected trauma seeing that, I had no idea how much the White House means to me, the trauma endured by black slaves who helped build it. Yeah that resonates with me. Seeing it just torn down. Was an Unforgivable Trauma.

If I were to in a lab, come up with the worst possible replacement for Kristi Noem, I would pick Mark Wayne Mullen. Our president wants the worse for our country and everything he does proves that.
