A governor in this country took away a barber’s business license because he opened up in order to make a living while the same governor turned around and marched side by side with other protesters.
It’s unreal.
I’m 59, watched politics since I was a 12yo. The fact that Bernie Sanders could actually be the presidential candidate of a major party in Nov scares the crap out of me.
American democracy is more vulnerable today than it was on January 6 because the "big lie" that Donald Trump won the 2020 election has spread, says Rep. Adam Schiff.
Removing the duty to retreat and allowing the use of deadly force as a first option...makes killing easier. And look at which killings are being justified much more often. Allowing someone to kill someone when they fear being beaten up is a mistake.
NEW: Strzok has admitted his 2020 book wrongly claimed Australia told U.S. about Papadopoulos convo (FBI cited to open Trump-Russia inquiry) becuz Trump said “Russia if you're listening…” Now notes from March 2017 indicate Strzok pushed the lie then too…
The Dow has been falling — a lot. But one corner of the markets has been a bright spot: orange juice futures. People looking to boost their vitamin C intake are lifting OJ sales.
Biden's FBI: The Islamist terrorist, who held Jews hostage at a Texas synagogue, on Sabbath, was “singularly focused on one issue” that was not “specifically related to the Jewish community.
He then adds “We are continuing to work to find motive.”
Why won't you people just be honest. None if this would matter if a Black person put the chokehold on Jordan. Everyone wants this to be white on black crime and it isn't. How many people really think this would be a national story if it wasn't a perceived white on black crime?
Even if you accept that Jordan Peely was a clear and present danger, do these alleged tough guys know there are roughly a thousand ways to restrain a weaker, unwell man that doesn’t involve life threatening asphyxiation
I reported this account, and encourage you all to as well. It is a hub for disinformation, which has bands of trolls that follow its lead for targeted harassment. It is also a spoke for vaccine disinformation. Please take the time to report!
New York would require people applying for a handgun license to turn over a list of their social media accounts so officials could verify their “character and conduct” under a bill being considered Friday by the state Legislature.
Public officials and media reported that a man in Texas became the first American to die from the Omicron variant. I checked with the Harris County Public Health Department. Turns out that's not true.
Here's audio of my phone call.
Remember when the democrats and most of the DC/NYC political media were accusing the last admin of not doing enough to protect us from cyber attacks? So what now?

Those people think if you reject DEI then there is no other explanation than you're a conservative. They actually believe that.
When President Biden took office, millions were unemployed and there was no vaccine available.
In the last 15 months, the economy has created 8.3M jobs and the unemployment rate stands at 3.6% — the fastest decline in unemployment to start a President's term ever recorded.
Another poll showing Democrats ahead. Why? Because Democrats put people over politics and are focused on lowering costs, good-paying jobs and safe communities.
MAGA Republicans are focused on prosecuting the doctor who gave abortion care to a 10-year-old rape victim from Ohio.
Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have signed a multi-year production deal with Netflix to produce exclusive films and series for the service
Russia has launched a missile strike near Poland in what appears to be a deadly warning to the United States. The attack came after President Joe Biden labelled Vladimir Putin “a butcher”.

Well, it’s stupid to call it a vaccine passport, I’ll give you that. But a private business, particularly a cruise line, should be perfectly free to require passengers be vaccinated. Even if the cruise line is wrong who the f is the Governor of Florida to say otherwise?
You have a block button.
You have a mute button.
You can turn your replies off.
You can have only people you follow reply.
You can lock or protect your account.
Yet they squall about twitter not censoring speech they could censor themselves.
They are frauds.

Decided to log on twitter to see if the White House or State Dept has made a statement in support of protesters in Cuba. Haven’t seen one yet. Did I miss it?
DOOCY: "The Secret Service is paying $16,000 a month now to stage near Hunter Biden in Malibu? Who's paying for that?"
KJP: "That's a question for the Secret Service."
The shooting in Highland Park, Illinois, has focused attention on — and renewed questions over — access to firearms in the United States under existing law and screening processes in order to prevent gun violence
Giving up my career in the armed forces was not easy.

What's something people do in normal life that elicits an unhealthy rage in you? I'll go first.
People who get off a crowded escalator and then stop dead in their tracks, blocking everyone behind them, and look around or check their phone.
JUST IN: A jury in Washington, D.C. has acquitted lawyer Michael Sussmann on a single charge of lying to the FBI, dealing a blow to the three-year investigation by special counsel John Durham into the Trump-Russia investigation.

How long will the list grow of those who told us to start our own platform if we didn't like what twitter does to now tell us how bad it is that Musk is on the board of twitter because he used his own money?
US Right to Know obtains highly redacted records showing that the American gov knew of Chinese military links to Wuhan lab believed to be the origin of COVID-19. Just released today.
Dear world: If you say nothing when half of Israel comes under massive rocket bombardment from Gaza, but only speak up when we inevitably defend ourselves, better you just keep quiet.

The more I think about this headline the more I think about how pathetic Dan Rather's network really is. I mean this is definitely State TV Hall of Fame material.
LOL could Baragona be anymore out of touch with most of America? The LA DA gave a career criminal that killed two LA cops probation for a felony gun charge instead of bringing him to trial.
This is the story leading the most-watched show on cable news, just hours after a congressional hearing revealed Trump's lawyer asked to be on the "pardon list" after his coup attempt failed.
Remember folks. Probably none of this would have came out to the general public without reporters like Yashar & Kelly using social media platforms.
There is a reason CNN & others want total control of the news content again.

NPR senior business editor Uri Berliner resigned this morning.
Among the many things that could be said, I will say this: thank you to my colleagues here in the newsroom today for your grace, collegiality and hard work during a challenging period.
And for showing up today,…
MAGA folks DEMANDING an apology for believing Jussie Smollett, I don’t owe you anything. Jussie might. I hate to tell you, but I can be disappointed, saddened & angry at Jussie for hurting the cause; and still think MAGA supporters are trash. The two are not mutually exclusive.
Average benefits for U.S. food stamps - also know by the acronym SNAP - will permanently rise more than 25% above pre-pandemic levels in October. It is the largest single increase in the program’s history.

Who usually hires the ceo of npr? A board? Who is on the board because it's obvious they could care less what half the taxpayers in this country think.
I am sick of staying at home so much. I am ready for this crap to be over with. Fighting depression is one the hardest things to do. My heart goes out to the teenagers struggling in the areas where selfish & irresponsible teacher's unions just don't care by staying shutdown.
In a blog post, Andrew Cuomo's former aide Lindsey Boylan described a culture of “inappropriate behavior toward women,” an accusation the New York governor denies
