Chuck Schumer just cancelled his planned book tour this week over "security concerns." Here's the thing: A man who is too cowardly to face the American people is too cowardly to lead the American people. Schumer should continue his cancellation strategy & resign his Senate leadership & retire.

If you have paid subscriptions on Substack, you are asking your readers to take a portion of their money to fund racist, antisemitic, and anti-trans speech. Substack takes ten percent of people’s revenue and then gives it to people like Bari Weiss who said Nazi salutes aren’t really Nazi salutes.
