One of the worst headlines I’ve ever read

Casseroles get a bad rap. They are delicious and should be respected.

The illiberal left is at it again

the thing to understand is that for many people the violence of order maintenance is simply not seen as violence in the first place

Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
