They have seen the principle of free speech used to protect right-wing outfits like Project Veritas and Breitbart News and are uneasy with it.
They had their suspicions of their fellow citizens’ judgment confirmed by Trump’s election, and do not believe readers can be trusted with potentially dangerous ideas or facts...
Conservative opponents of diversity, equity and inclusion — or DEI — initiatives are fond of moving the letters around in the acronym and calling it “DIE.”
It’s meant, obviously, as a bit of a troll. However, when such initiatives compromise the ability of the bureau to protect America’s highest-profile assassination targets, the switch is apt — and no laughing matter.

In a no-shoes sitdown with former ESPN SportsCenter Host Sage Steele, Kennedy said he believes a woman should be allowed to kill her baby through all nine months of gestation.

The world’s moral compass is broken and, as always, Jews are the canary in the coalmine.
"Aside from humans, beavers are the only mammals that will significantly reorient entire ecosystems to create the habitat they need to thrive.
They fell trees, dam creeks and streams, and create vast wetlands that countless other species benefit from.
In so doing, they often help regions retain water that might otherwise find its way into oceans or distant large lakes...
Perhaps recognizing their value in countering California’s chronic water challenges, state leaders have begun the process of rejuvenating the local beaver population through direct intervention...
Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah is sounding the alarm about the massive interest on the nation's debt.
"We're so screwed. And glued. Also tattooed. Interest will top $1.1 trillion this year. That's what decades of reckless, hegemonic rule by The Uniparty™️ does," Lee tweeted.
Iran's constitution explicitly mandates that both the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps are not only tasked with safeguarding the nation's frontiers, but also with advancing the ideological mission of jihad in the name of Allah...

That’s not to mention the daily 40,000 gallons of horse urine. In other words, cities reeked.
As Morris says, the “stench was omnipresent.”
Here are some fun bits from his article:
Urban streets were minefields that needed to be navigated with the greatest care. “Crossing sweepers” stood on street corners; for a fee they would clear a path through the mire for pedestrians. Wet weather turned the streets into swamps and rivers of muck...

Interviewee: “The US government can’t go bankrupt because we can print our own money.”
Dim interviewer: “Like you say, they print the dollar, so why does the government even borrow?”
