What I don’t understand is, if Trump says he has the border closed, why would we keep needing these warehouses for detention? Is this for citizens who dissent?

BREAKING: Footage that has just confirmed that TRUMP LIED and it was a US Tomahawk missile that hit the girls’ in southern Iran killing 180 people, most of which were children.

The fact that Trump has blatantly lied about this should have every single American questioning why he lied to us all.

Mumps is back, but vaccines can prevent it Maryland is one of several states that are reporting cases of the infectious disease mumps, suggesting the return of diseasesβ€”like measlesβ€”that vaccines protect against

We counted 1500 measles cases as of the end of last month. Guess who else is starting to rear its ugly head- Mumps.

It has been detected in ~34 people across 11 states.

Symptoms show up a few weeks after exposure in the form of fever, heads & swollen salivary glands.

23 year old Ruben Ray Martinez’s last words? β€œI’m sorry sir”.

ICE shot him 3 times and killed him.

Renee Good’s last words? β€œIt’s ok I’m not mad”.

Alex Pretti’s last words? β€œAre you ok?”

These are the people DHS calls domestic terrorists. Threats. Aggressors.

Abolish ICE

Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attack. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries. They have said, β€œThank you President Trump.” I have said, β€œYou’re welcome!” Iran is no longer the β€œBully of the Middle East,” they are, instead, β€œTHE LOSER OF THE MIDDLE EAST,” and will be for many decades until they surrender or, more likely, completely collapse! Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran’s bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Special Saturday Triad: What I Saw at the Battle of Minneapolis The national media has moved on. Minnesota is still under siege.

"You now live in a country where volunteers deliver babies at home, in secret, off the books, because mothers fear that if they go to the hospital, they will be abducted by masked, armed agents of the state while giving birth. This is not a hypothetical."

Got it. There's plenty of funding to send troops into harm’s way, but not to take care of their health afterwards. This is shameful.

Went to a lobby day today a the MN State Capital where you walk by some desks from children who were killed during the Annunciation School shooting. Very sobering, at the least.

We need a clear justification to go to war. We haven’t gotten it.

First it was because of Iran’s nuclear capabilities. Then it was to stop the buildup of Iran’s defenses. The newest line is we attacked because Israel was going to and Iran would retaliate against us anyways.

The US has also pulled funding from the Global Measles and Rubella Laboratory Network which is run by WHO. It helps identify measles cases globally and prevent travel related transmission. Measles is extremely contagious and can easily jump countries via international travel.
