On Guns, Drugs, and National Security, Dianne Feinstein Was Consistently Authoritarian
During Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's 2018 confirmation hearing, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D–Calif.) asked him to "reconcile" his conclusion that "assault weapon" bans are unconstitutional with "the hundreds of school shootings using assault weapons that have taken place in recent history."

Rep. Ogles Introduces Bill to End Chemical Abortions
Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN-05) introduced The Ending Chemical Abortion Act on Thursday, seeking to end chemical abortions using the abortion pill.
“Chemical abortions not only end a human life but pose a serious risk to the lives of the mothers. The FDA has failed to protect women and unborn children for over 20 years. In 2021, it went even further and eliminated the in-person dispensing requirement. This decision has led to an overwhelming increase in chemical abortion-related ER visits, health complications, and even deaths,” Ogles reportedly said while flanked by pro-life students and legislators at a press conference near the U.S. Capitol. “It’s a tragedy that the Biden Administration and the FDA would put their radical pro-choice agenda ahead of the health and safety of women and girls across the country.”

Evidence is something else; it is not the truth. Evidence is a fact, but how that fact is presented can lead to a faulty conclusion.

That's fine. It may be their right to abuse their own bodies as much as they want but it's also our right to choose to not pay for their fucking drugs.

Forgive me for snickering

Commentary: Stand Up to Left’s Use of COVID to Shut Down America
The Democrat Leftists and oligarchical elites are very capable people; it brings pain to admit it, but it’s true. In the midst of seeking the demise the 45th President and his legal team from 2020, they have managed to continue the fear factor that ushered in mail-in ballots and multiple week voting ensuring a myriad of unexplained discrepancies, ballots without a chain-of-custody, and the White House.
SAVE OUR JUNKIES!

Pussies. When I was in elementary school in Germany Mrs Johnson would regularly bounce a blackboard eraser off of kid's heads. I never said anything about it because then my dad would ask what I did to deserve it, then he'd beat my ass for it too.
And there's no need to comment that the article used the term 'they' when referring to a single person. I noticed it too. It came from a Nashville news station, what can I say.
