The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days. The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years. ‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades. So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

I’m sorry but the fact that Congress is about to throw immigrants under the bus at the very same time that countless immigrants in California are risking their lives to protect neighborhoods many of them could never aspire live in is breaking my brain in a whole new way.

Trump's sentencing is a victory - but only a symbolic one - he'll still be a "convicted felon." But there will be no prison. There will be no probation. There will be nothing at all. Why? Because prosecutors dithered and delayed. And I will never, EVER forgive them for that.
