Congressman Clay Higgins does not exercise self control. He is a wee bit sensitive on being called out for voting to protect Epstein pedophiles.

“Even business leaders once portrayed as liberal visionaries were swept up in the rising tide of American fascism, becoming some of its most enthusiastic public admirers. Their conversions served as powerful and useful propaganda tools for the regime.”

Massie's prediction that the Administration would use the bogus Trump-directed "investigations" of Bill Clinton and Reid Hoffman as an excuse to continue blocking release of the Epstein files, on the spurious grounds that it's an ongoing investigation, is looking pretty good here

Just as we did with Trump's first administration, taxpayers are bailing out farmers again because of his economic policies and tariffs. Will farmers learn this time or will they continue to blame Obama and Biden and vote MAGA again in 2026 and 2028?

I highly recommend having one or two criminal defense attorneys in one’s social circles if at all possible, however peripherally. If you are getting jacked up, you need to have someone you can call and ask “Hey, I’m getting screwed on [X]. If you were getting screwed for [X], who would you call?”

This is pretty amazing. This guy just won a solid victory in Bucks County, PA, one of the most important swing counties in the country, by *explicitly and deliberately* making his race *all about* nationalizing ICE raids. Confirms the point about this now being a winning issue for Dems.
