If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

It makes it pretty clear these guys think you just write papers based on what's in your head because "I already know all that stuff" and citations are just something you add after you're done, to convince others, or check off some arbitrary requirements, and they think everyone else does this too

When asked what I think about firearms, I said: "I think the Second Amendment is one of the stupidest things America ever did, other than the way activist judge Antonin Scalia willfully misinterpreted it."

Interesting to see RFK Jr. go to a tanning place in DC. 1. Let’s say it’s spray tan — so he thinks that’s fine but vaccines that have been proven safe over decades aren’t (not suggesting that spray tanning is unsafe). 2. Or is he using a tanning bed? That’s even worse, but not surprising.

The U.S. Constitution divides war powers between Congress & the President. Congress holds the power to declare war, raise and support armies, & make rules for the military. The President, as Commander-in-Chief, directs the armed forces once war is declared or authorized. This is to balance power.

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS IS NOT AMERICA.
