If you are a big history reader, William Shirer's The Rise and Fall Of the Third Reich will pretty much terrify you, too.

Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:

The Founders specifically said "no state religion" when they wrote Freedom of religion. So if the 10 Commandments work for you great. However, with all the hate and bigotry you spew, I kinda doubt your commitment to the scriptures.

I’ve heard military law experts advise, if you are given an illegal command as a soldier, do not blindly obey. Call your attorney. Obeying an illegal command can result in a court martial.

The last time troops policed America was in the 1770s. We fought a revolution against that king, and wrote into the Constitution the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments to prevent it from ever happening again. Pass it along…
