In Caldwell County, NC, a 3-year-old child gained access to an unsecured gun and unintentionally discharged it, killing him. These tragedies take place with alarming regularity. Every year, nearly 360 children in the US gain access to a gun and unintentionally shoot themselves or someone else.

There is NO Department of Justice in America anymore. The institution has been TAKEN OVER BY CRIMINALS. They ignore judges and the law because THAT'S WHAT CRIMINALS DO. And the ONLY way to get back an ACTUAL DoJ is: 1. VOTING BLUE 2. DEMANDING ACCOUNTABILITY 3. PUNISHING THESE CRIMINALS

The United States Explained in Three Simple Words: "Follow the money."

Trump is standing like no human has ever stood before

The Community Conversation featuring Ben Cline and me, which was supposed to take place in Clifton Forge on Oct. 14, has been cancelled. Cline never replied to the organizers' invitation. I will be there anyway.

“And in Roanoke, he has not met with constituents who have gathered outside his office every Monday for 88 straight weeks, through heat, rain, wind and sleet. Not even a wave or a hello.

“Ben Cline ghosted the good people of Clifton Forge on their invitation to speak directly to voters of the Alleghany Highlands. This maintains his pattern of dodging, ducking and avoiding chances to meet me in public in a real debate.

State prosecutors must take up the slack. The Founders never imagined a criminal President pardoning his criminal mob- but here we are.

Notice how Thomas Massie's floor speech gets front page above the fold treatment in newspapers across the UK and Europe, but US papers appear afraid even to touch it. As with the Iran war, very revealing of the ability of Trump to intimidate press coverage in the US. www.thetimes.com/us/american-...

Of course he lied to Congress. Hello?! He's RFKjr. His Samoa trip and his motives are well-documented. In this tiny island-nation, his actions are directly responsible for sickening thousands, the deaths of at least 83 people – most were children under five years old. He's trying to cull us!

Walmart spent $43.4B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2025, enough to give each of its 2.1M workers annual bonuses of $2,953. Last year, retiring CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $29.2M — his largest payday ever and 958x Walmart's median worker pay of $30,520. Textbook corporate greed.

The contents of the Epstein files must be horrific.

Just a warning that some of the videos doing the rounds of the flood in Nepal are AI generated. Some have had millions of views.

Retired Navy Commander Bobby Jones on the part of Doris Miller’s story too many Americans were never taught: His heroism at Pearl Harbor should have earned him the Medal of Honor. Why didn’t it? “I’ll give you one guess. He was a Black man.” Now they want to take his name off an aircraft carrier

There are famous people, and then there are people who somehow feel like they belong to all of us. Dolly Parton was ours. What a loss. What a life. ❤️

We let over 2 hundred planes land in Canada, any one of which could have been as dangerous as the Pentagon or twin tower planes. Some of these US passengers come back often to visit the people who took them into their homes.

On 9/11, US airspace closed, Canada launched Operation Yellow Ribbon. Gander, a town of 10,000, received 38 airliners. Residents immediately sheltered, fed, clothed, and supported stranded passengers for days, providing this hospitality free of charge. interestingengineering.com/culture/oper...
