Dear Canada- Please accept our deepest apologies from all decent Americans embarrassed by the obnoxious trolling from our man-baby-in-chief who is lacking in both intelligence & any impulse-control whatsoever. ❤️ from your neighbors below, 🇺🇸 #MakeAmericaNormalAgain

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

So the White House story is now: “We didn’t mean to threaten Harvard, because we didn’t mean to send the threatening letter we sent, but when Harvard rejected the threats we made but didn’t mean to make, we decided to threaten them twice more.” The country is now run by thugs and idiots.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Good article on bringing back manufacturing to the United States and how the tariffs are hurting that. Also, why it's not as easy as many think is it is. www.molsonhart.com/blog/america...

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

BREAKING: The Supreme Court lifted a temporary block on President Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act. The court also ruled to protect due process, meaning no one can be removed without a chance to challenge their deportation. We’ll keep fighting until this is blocked for good.

Bro I bought your DNA in the genetic fire sale. Yeah I fed it to the cat. The cat acts like you now. Bro, I’m serious, the cat’s ability to make good decisions crashes out after 10 pm and whenever I put on Madonna he makes that face you always make.
