ICE officers stopped by our farm yesterday.
“We need to inspect your property for illegal aliens,” one of them said.
I replied, “Alright, but whatever you do, don’t go into that field over there.”
The officer in charge exploded.
“Mister, I have the authority of the federal government behind me!” he barked, reaching into his back pocket. He yanked out a badge and shoved it in my face. “See this fucking badge? This badge means I can go wherever I want on ANY land. No questions asked, no answers given. Am I clear? Do you understand?”
I nodded politely and said, “Be my guest.” Then I went back to my chores.
About ten minutes later, I heard screaming.
I looked up and saw six ICE agents running for their lives, being chased by my big, mean, old bull.
And with every step, that bull was closing in fast.
It looked like they were about to get gored for sure.
So I dropped my tools, ran over to the fence, and shouted at the top of my lungs:
“YOUR BADGE! SHOW HIM YOUR FUCKING BADGE!”
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
In Hollywood, Rob Reiner was a rare talent: he could act, he could produce, he could direct, and he was amazing at all three. He was a creative genius who left us some of the greatest movies of all time, and he was a wonderful friend. My thoughts are with his family.
An Open Letter to Marjorie Taylor Greene
From, Alyssa Milano November 17, 2025:
“Congresswoman Greene,
Let’s skip the pleasantries. They were never your thing anyway.
So…you’ve suddenly discovered that Donald Trump, the man you treated like a messiah, is not loyal and that the MAGA movement is not safe, not sane, and certainly not rooted in anything constitutional. And you’re shocked that he’s attacking you, endangering you, calling you a traitor. As if you didn’t know he had it in him. Puh-lease.
Here’s the part you don’t get to skip:
You helped create this monster. You fed it. You protected it. You celebrated it. And now that it’s finally turning on you, you want sympathy? Understanding? A moment of national concern?
No. Absolutely not. NOPE.
You don’t get to unleash political poison into the bloodstream of American politics and then act surprised when it reaches your own veins. You don’t get to cheer on Trump while he smears, threatens, and dehumanizes everyone in his way, and then clutch your fake pearls when he finally does it to you. You don’t get to empower a movement built on conspiracy, cruelty, and violence, and then cry foul when you become its latest target.
Let’s be honest, you calling for the release of the Epstein Files, isn’t courage. It’s fear. You don’t suddenly care about truth or justice. And you definitely don’t care about the victims. You are calling for the release of the files because you’re afraid of what unchecked power looks like when it’s no longer aimed at your enemies. The Epstein case is a perfect cultural lightning-rod and your supporters love that shit.
You saw the polls and are reacting accordingly.
Jump off the sinking MAGA ship, am I right, MTG?
Now you’re talking about accountability and transparency. Ha! Where was that energy on January 6th? Where was your outrage when Trump incited a mob to storm the Capitol?
When they hunted Democratic lawmakers through hallways? When they called for the hanging of the Vice President? When police officers were beaten, crushed, and traumatized doing their jobs?
Where was your moral clarity then, MTG?
Where was your voice when Democratic governors were receiving kidnapping threats?When election workers were doxxed and terrorized? When a man broke into Nancy Pelosi’s home with a hammer and nearly killed her husband? When threats against Democrats, judges, school boards, and public servants skyrocketed?
You said nothing.
And this isn’t new behavior. You chased a Parkland school-shooting survivor, David Hogg, down a Washington sidewalk, taunting him and calling him a “coward.”
You screamed through President Biden’s State of the Union address like you were the most unprofessional person to ever be elected into office.
You voted against the Frederick Douglass Human Trafficking Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act, (one of only twenty members of Congress to oppose a bipartisan bill designed to help trafficking victims).
You amplified QAnon conspiracies.
You suggested school shootings were staged.
And while Democrats were being targeted, when a militia plotted to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and when Governor Josh Shapiro’s home was set on fire in an arson attack with his family inside, you offered no outrage, no sympathy, no defense of democracy.
I could go on. But I think you get the picture,
Congresswomen. I’m not buying it.
If you want redemption. If you want to step into the light, there is only one door:
Public, unequivocal accountability.
Not the performative kind with hair and make-up.
Not the “Trump hurt my feelings” kind. Not the victimhood you’ve perfected. Real accountability means going fully public with everything you know, every lie, every scheme, every threat, every abuse of power you witnessed, tolerated, or assisted. If you want redemption, start with the truth. All of it.
Until then, this isn’t a moral awakening. It’s simply the consequences of your own choices arriving right on schedule.
Sincerely,
Alyssa Milano”
Guns are a uniquely American problem.
The rest of the world has mental health issues.
The rest of the world has ideological & philosophical division.
They have social media, pot, porn, cellphones & video games.
What they don’t have — is more guns than people, they don’t have more than 500 mass shootings in less than a year, they don’t have a populace paralyzed with fear that their child will be next. That THEY could be next.
At least, not until they arrive here.
After a British gunman killed 16 people in 1987, the country banned semiautomatic weapons like those he had used. It did the same with most handguns after a 1996 school shooting. It now has one of the lowest gun-related death rates in the developed world.
In Australia, a 1996 massacre prompted mandatory gun buybacks The rate of mass shootings went from once every 18 months to only one in the 26 years since.
Canada also tightened gun laws after a 1989 mass shooting.
So did Germany in 2002, New Zealand in 2019 and Norway in 2021.
Meanwhile here in America… since the Columbine massacre, there have been a total of 428 school shootings in the United States.
Since 1999, 390,000 students have experienced gun violence at school.
Since Sandy Hook — mass shootings have nearly tripled.
Each day 12 children die from gun violence in America. Another 32 are shot and injured.
Firearms are the leading cause of death for kids and teens in the US.
This. Is. An. American. Problem.
There are more civilian owned guns in this country than there are civilians.
It’s not the pot, the porn, the video games, it’s not the wrong kinds of locks, or too few “good guys with guns”, and it’s not the mental health issues.
Nearly every other country on earth has those things. And they don’t live this way.
It’s the guns.
Orsaken till att det går bra för eleverna i denna skola är att dessa barn kommer från den absoluta gräddan av samhället. Deras föräldrar är toppskiktet i samhället och terminsavgiften är 40,000 dollar!
Fun fact.
July 8, today, turns out to be the day that most people around the planet experience daylight at the same time.
This means, 99% of Earth's 8 billion residents will be on the sunlit side of Earth at the same time.
🇪🇸 Idag firar Spaniens vänsterregering 7 år vid makten. Ett skyltfönster för progressiva?
Resultatet hittills:
- Västeuropas högsta tillväxt
- Arbetslösheten kapad med 5 procentenheter
- Lägst ackumulerad inflation
- Minskad fattigdom
Men vilken politik bedriver man?
Tråd 🧵
Jo, det är sant. Jag har läst igenom motionerna om lobbyism inför S-kongressen. Och det verkar onekligen väldigt lovande. Gillar inte minst Täby arbetarkommuns roll som "tank" i debatten, men Östersund har ett av de mer spännande förslagen.
