New York City's homicide rate is lower than the nation's as a whole. In Trump-friendly Alabama, the homicide rate is triple the rate in NYC. But Stephen Miller spreads fear of big cities and immigrants because he's a disgusting racist.

Trump canceled the briefing to Congress on the Iran bombings at the last minute and provided no explanation, but the leaked report saying the operation was not as successful as he claimed is definitely fake news because the two things can’t possibly be connected.

RUIZ: Did you read the report & fact-check its sources prior to publication? RFK JR: I did not fact check RUIZ: It included citations to sources that don't exist. How does that happen? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions are accurate RUIZ: They did not exist. How can they be accurate?

A strange quote from Peter Thiel that explains a lot: “The one part of the Christian view that I believe more strongly than anything is that death is evil, that it’s wrong and we should not accept it and fight it any way we can.” Seems like a bold misinterpretation of the Eternal Life concept.

It’s not enough for Stephen Miller to orchestrate Trump’s deportation agenda. Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target and round up immigrants. He’s cashing in on his own cruelty.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.
