What? The Clintons...Hillary and Bill (the most often photographed Epstein Island visitor) - have refused to appear before Congress regarding the storied 'Epstein Files' ?  But that was to be the Left's ace-in-the-hole...

Bill Clinton ignored a lawful subpoena. We're now initiating contempt proceedings.

Tomorrow, Hillary Clinton gets her chance. Show up at 10:00 a.m. or face the same fate.

If there's nothing to hide, we expect to see her. No one is above the law.

More Americans are killed in American cities than we lose in all our wars combined.  We accept that as normal.

"The stated reason from the State Department is to crack down on immigrants deemed likely to become a "public charge" — meaning they might rely on U.S. public benefits/welfare programs. Officials cited data showing that migrants from these 75 countries (including North Macedonia) use welfare at "unacceptable rates," and the pause allows time to reassess vetting procedures under expanded "public charge" rules. The State Department emphasized: "We are working to ensure the generosity of the American people will no longer be abused.""

Seems like 90% of America's law-enforcement/ criminal-justice resources are consumed by trying to contain black people. They have literally killed more Americans and done more damage to the nation than all of our foreign enemies and terrorists in all the wars we have ever fought combined and multiplied by 10.

We always had kerosene lamps camping & up at the country. We rarely smelled it because my Father was fanatical about keeping what he called “survival tools” in top shape.
I love the smell of kerosene… I love the smell of oil… of course I’m from Texas….
