Gavin Newsom is 100% the wrong guy for the job in California right now in my opinion. On the bright side, his uselessness here will surely kill his national political ambitions, and that's good for all of us.

📌NOTE: Sending the Marines into ANY U.S. city would be the greatest, anti-American insult TO THE MARINES I have seen in my entire lifetime. 📌This is weak, disgusting and NOT THEIR MISSION. Be about time for retired Marines to start speaking up, because you KNOW you are better than this. -Navy guy

To anyone who wondered, what could go wrong if we elected as president a highly volatile, deeply dishonest, simple-minded cretin with a revenge fetish, the answer is THIS. All of THIS.

Don’t presume the outcome or reason for Trump’s terrorizing efforts. “This weekend’s actions also come in the wake of a mounting collection of humiliating failures for Trump, surely exacerbating his reckless desire for spectacular distraction.” www.americaamerica.news/p/trump-want...

"In our federal system, the National Gov. possesses only limited powers; the States and the people retain the remainder. The States have broad authority to enact legislation for the public good—what we have often called a 'police power.' The Fed. Gov., by contrast, has no such authority."-SCOTUS '14

The fires are so extensive across Manitoba, Saskatchewan & Ontario currently that there are not enough air crafts to rescue remote Native Canadians. I am sending an SOS to every nation to help save the lives of people who are going to burn alive. Literally. Canada needs evacuation assistance.

Healthcare for seniors is not waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is not waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon is waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens is waste, fraud, and abuse.

Wellman: When I served in Iraq.. I heard about how Saddam Hussein divided them. Different sects fought each other. But you know -- Saddam and his family sat laughing at all of them. They divided them against each other and kept their power for 35 years. Does this sound familiar to anybody?

In an act of integrity and resistance, a supervisor in the Nashville federal prosecutor’s office resigned over how the Abrego Garcia case was being handled. The charges are bogus, pure political theater meant to justify a wrongful abduction.

ICE agents are Gestapo. They act on behalf inhumanity, racism and cruelty, not constitutional duty or law and order. I hope they are protested against in every city they enter.

The first wrongly deported migrant has been returned to the States. Now that the first step has been taken, we can’t let up the pressure. We’ve gotta run the whole mile. Kilmar Abrego Garcia and every other immigrant deported without due process MUST be returned to America.

Have always loved this photo of Choctaw paratroopers from Oklahoma about to board planes and parachute into occupied France as part of the D-Day assault: June 6th, 1944. After giving each other mohawks, they decided to apply war paint. 101st Airborne, about to count coup.

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.
