… Kristi Noem gave a disgraceful interview on CNN today where she attempted to justify her comments immediately following the shooting of Renee Good by ICE agent Jonathan Ross: Q - “Why were you so certain that your interpretation is the truth when an investigation hasn’t even happened?
I agree! Germany shut down RFK's worm brain oversized ego in a few simple facts of their superior standards of health care are based on real science, diligent research and proven prevention with childhood vaccination....NOT conspiracy theories and junk internet opinions and that frankly Germany didn't need or want any input from an idiot like RFK! It was a beautiful and perfect shut down of another entitled, unqualified, narcissistic, uneducated, unfit trump cabinet members, completely and utterly way out of his league and woefully unqualified!
Kristi Noem is a terrorist. All the Trump regime is run by a bunch of terrorists. Less we forget Stephen Miller. He's a super terrorist. Trump loves all this shit. We need to get back to Epstein, Epstein, Epstein.
She needs to take her own advice ("You don’t get to change the facts just because you don’t like them ... we don’t pick and choose which situations are in which laws are enforced and which ones aren’t.”
The entire first half of this bulletin was pure Orwellian BS from Noem and Homan. If they ever tell the truth, it will be a cold day in hell.
Yeah, but it's already been exposed by the FBI undercover officer who gave him $50,000 and recorded on video that was made public. Let's not let him cover that up. And he's never said what he did with the money or why he took it.
What I don't get is why this witch still has a job! She needs to be tossed from her position now! Everyone in the WH sits on their hands waiting for someone else to come along and do it. Oh wait a minute now...everyone is afraid of the Malignant Narcissist. Got it.
Noem’s only there to cosplay and get to fool around on her travels with her boy toy Corey on the government dime. That vamp doesn’t have a serious bone in her body and nothing but air between both ears. Nothing true will ever come out of her surgically enhanced mouth.
What a dastardly bunch of villains are reigning in DC !
They unabashedly reveal their lying intentions every single day with straight faces, and they do it so effortlessly. Must’ve not paid attention to their elder’s admonitions as little kids about not telling the truth and the impact of said lies.
Ron, you’re a real literary agent of exposure! Keep it up please
The corruption is no longer hidden—it’s operating in plain sight. Trump and his allies are openly serving themselves from the public treasury, and we will regret every day of this lawlessness.
The killing of Renee Nicole Macklin Good shows the collapse of oversight in real time: state investigators barred, federal silence, a family left with grief.
The law calls this depraved indifference. But this is worse. It’s exuberantly depraved indifference—the celebration of impunity itself.
Kristi Noem’s CNN performance made it unmistakable: facts declared even an before investigation, loyalty replacing truth, and a double standard laid bare when January 6 attackers were pardoned by Donald Trump.
This isn’t public safety. It’s power exempting itself from consequence.
The past two weeks feel incredibly chaotic. However, I suspect this might simply be the Trump effect. Every two weeks something even more absurd happens so we forget the last one. Just two weeks ago Trump said Russia wants Ukraine to succeed but it’s lost in the tide of new craziness.
To your point, I was just thinking that it would be valuable for Ron, HCR, Aaron Parnas, Meidas Touch folks etc to make it part of each days report to swing back on the chaos from a week or so ago. Like, are the National Guard troops really gone from DC and the other cities? What’s up with SNAP? We hear things and then they disappear into the abyss…
Anyone who believes Trump wants Ukraine to succeed is completely out of touch with reality. He's been working for Putin and his oligarchs since the 1980s.
Marius, your comments bring to mind Garrett M. Graff's great essay "The Physical Weight of Trumpism" (1/8) as he nails the full unfortunate impact of the Trump Effect.
THANKS!!!!!!!! You said, “We make the entire Weekend Bulletin available to all subscribers, where about the first third of the daily Bulletins during the week are available to fee subscribers. Everyone can also join our always lively comments section at the end of this Bulletin.”
Ron Filipkowski writes AMAZING bulletins. Filled with excellent information—succinct and easy to read to read and digest
I get so frustrated with Jake Tapper. He's sitting there listening to her lies with no emotions. Not once, ever has he called out the liars. If she can sit there and lie her ugly face off, CNN should toss her out. There...I'm done.
We are 1930s Germany and the sooner people (MAGA and the entire Red party in Congress) wake up to that fact, the better we will be able to refuse to join the herd of sheeple susceptible to their lies and propaganda.
My father, who passed in 1974, was a cop. He said two types of people become cops - those who want to serve their community and psychopaths who get off to violence. Ross is a psychopath.
As Rita said below, Ross is a psychopath and a cowboy. Standing in front or reaching into a vehicle with the engine running is just about the stupidest thing, and ICE agents do this shit all the time. Ross did it 6 months ago and needed nearly 3 dozen stitches. A veteran agent acting like this needs to be pulled from street duty and parked at a desk until the agency psychiatrist clears him.
And married to a Filipina he's out hunting down immigrants? Don't get me wrong as most of the ICU nurses who saved my life last year were angels from the Philippines and my closest neighbors friends are Filipino and some in mixed marriages as well, Ida. What galls me is hunting down people of color. Period!
Yeah, Robin. Within hours of the shooting a herd of masked uniformed people (decidedly not FBI or local police) descended on the Ross residence with neighbors watching and recording. Tons of big plastic storage tubs were hauled out into unmarked waiting trucks in a quickie undercover affair.
Neighbors said Ross never came back to the house and the wife was pacing outside until this rescue crew arrived. The residence has since been dark and empty. There were some videos of the commotion on Bluesky last night too.
It doesn't and shouldn't matter about his wife except for the breathtaking hypocrisy of these white supremecist Nazis hunting down POC and and immigrants, or the Couchfucking "DL Demon Queen" married to an Indian woman, has bi-racial children and doesn't defend her or them either. It is amazing how far they have gone to protect this psychopath to protect themselves. When he was "hurt" in June, if we had a functioning law and legal system, at that moment he should have been relieved of his duties and his gun taken away and investigated. It doesn't take Sigmund Freud to know he probably has PTSD too. He will never be brought to justice with this regime. Koko the Gorilla would know this is a cover up.
Glad people were and continue to tape everything. This technology they think they are weaponizing against us, is going to be used against them.. HIS camera footage actually proves he did murder her, it's his actual POV because at no time did he stop taping, and switched he phone to his left hand so he could take out his gun with his dominant right hand, plus the added gem of hearing him call her a "fucking bitch". It corroborates all the bystanders video of the murder and him walking away unscathed. I think Renee was trying to diffuse the situation by saying "it's okay dude. I'm not mad at you" while hoping her wife would just get in the car so they could leave. All 3 of those ICE knew those women were white and as American as them. What they also knew was that they were LGBTQ and Ross couldn't deal with the fact her wife insulted him with. "Go get lunch big boy". and then he shot Renee. And needed to fire 3 shots to do it? I didn't even know there was a dog in the car until I saw it on video.
SFGal, thanks. You know what also? All those people who they fired from the gov't...terrific career experts from FBI/CIA/prosecutors, that they deemed unloyal to the regime, didn't have their minds wiped of knowledge and experience. .They will become like the resistance fighting back using their talents. Two things have surprised me. The investigative reporting the NYT did on this shooting,and analyzing the first video was excellent. They did their job. Then I found out it was Jake Tapper holding Kristy Noem's feet to the fire on CNN (and his shutting down Stephen Miller's insane rant the other day with "I have no idea what you are talking about" and cutting off his microphone).
They don't give one flying fuck about Jonathan Ross except to make sure he is never found. He's a dead man walking. I wouldn't be surprised if he should meet an accident, or " kill himself"in a hail of bullets. They are working on getting rid of that "great patriot" right now...permanently.
Robin, just read your lengthy communique, agreeing that the NYT and Tapper did a commendable job tracking the violence. Only now concluded watching the Ellison-Frey Minneapolis press conference followed by more MSNOW coverage with Ruth Ben-Ghiat at the moment analyzing this authoritarian regime where civil disobedience is now a state-deemed act of domestic terrorism.
Heather Cox Richardson summed the Good killing as virulent misogyny at its core, plus adding in the LGBTQ slander, some of which you noted above. When I drove to the store yesterday I asked myself what I'd do if an armed masked man approached my car and demanded I get out, what would I do? What would I want my daughter to do? Of course flee the scene quickly as possible. We had 400+ turn out Saturday for our downtown protest, one of the largest so far. Sending armed goons door-to-door terrifies me.
Everything is bad, and it's getting worse. But the biggie at the House is showerheads??!! WTF. ICE and border patrol are terrorizing citizens. This really is Nazi Gestapo shit. Renee Good was murdered in cold blood, and they are lying about it. The violence is ratcheting up, and I don't see any congressional Democrats doing anything. Trump is concerned about protests in Iran while trying to suppress protests here??!! And while all this whirls around us, they still haven't released the Epstein files.
I've been ranting about this since Donnie's first campaign. I've read many books and watched many documentaries on the rise of the Nazis so I was acutely aware of the similarities, starting with DT's rhetoric and rallies, as was every single holocaust survivor I know. Too many Americans don't know that history and have only lived in relative freedom and prosperity; they just can't believe it can happen to THEM. But is mos def can—and IS.
I'll be 78 next month. My father fought in WW2. I met German survivors - not Holocaust but regular Germans who were brutalized. My father talked about it alot. I think I saw every WW2 movie before I was ten. I've watched all the documentaries on Hitler and the Nazis. The most chilling movie I've seen is The Mortal Storm made in 1940. It has name brand stars of the era. You can order it from Amazon. I BEGGED people to watch it before the election. The Mortal Storm is America under Trump. He is deranged and losing it by the minute. And the absolute worst thing is no one is going to help us. The people we elected are fucking worthless.
Hey, dontcha remember Bone Spurs told the Iranian protesters that he would attack Iran if any or them were killed? Well, hundreds of them have been killed over many days, and Donnie's done ZERO to "back them up."
Last night I watched videos of the Iranian protests on a TOUSI TV YouTube livestream podcast. The host is Iranian and Christian, living in the UK, and has family still in Iran. He said the videos were being sent out via Starlink even though the internet was down, and he showed a lot of comments from viewers around the world. They seemed all in for Trump and confident he would save them. We'll see about that. A lot of them were chanting in support of the former Shah's son and waving the flag of his father.
My husband and I were just talking about this. Trump has talked himself into a corner. Tonight he also posted he's "the acting president of Venezuela". He is nuts.
That was the very first bill that was up for consideration. Some dope from Florida sponsored it. I’ve lived in four states, visited a couple dozen others. The only times I’ve had an issue with a shower was when the water was cold. No shower I used while living in California for over 25 years lacked pressure or volume. Maybe the Orange Idiot doesn’t know how to work a faucet.
There may be some regulations on shower heads but actual water pressure comes from a water regulator at the meter. Some municipalities regulate what that should be. My point is that just taking off regulations for a shower head may not solve the pressure problem. Not that this should be a hot topic considering the stew of other problems we have.....
We have a well so pressure varies all the time. We also have septic. Water bills and sewer user fees are astronomical in many states. Septic field repair cost is also astronomical. Why would anyone with a single functioning braincell want to use more water than necessary.
And this isn't even addressing the serious drought issues that many states are facing and that will only become worse with all the AI data centers being built. I never knew how totally ignorant a vast number of Americans are until they elected trump. Not once, but twice.
That wouldn’t surprise me, he doesn’t know most things we on the left understand as a normal part of our lives. I would love to see him have to call the cable company to get his bill straightened out.
I'd say fasten your proverbial seat belts on this one, Bob! I figure it ain't about water pressure or conservation at all. Just looking to future oligarch investments on the Gestapo horizon.
Someone ought to lock Noem and all the ICE guys in a shed on bread and water, and not let them out until they can recite and prove they understand the DoJ's OWN rulings on discharging a fire arm:
Here is FBI agent Asha Rangappa explaining clearly and legally why Ross's was a bad shot. JDV and Noem need to meet up with her.
Each time I send a video to my maga relative, who claims Renee deserved it, he just says he/she is entitled to their opinion. It's like joe shmo on YouTube has the same credibility as an investigator for ICE for many years or Asha. Smh.
Or, Lady, how about they all have to "recite and prove they understand" the U.S. Constitution and maybe even the Declaration of Independence just for good measure?
On a side note, in contrast to ICE agents not wearing body cameras: cashiers at Walmart now have body cams. They’re little yellow boxes attached to their ID badges. If Walmart cashiers can wear body cams, why can’t ICE? And, as a bonus, the cashiers aren’t masked and haven’t killed anyone either.
But, by not having body cameras, ICE thereby retains their current ability to provide their untruthful version of events unless there are independent videos of what actually happened.
This is why "citizen journalism" is of the utmost importance in order to prove the reality of every situation so that the "Brownshirts" can't deceive the American People.
Right now ICE is a government sponsored mob. They aren’t professional anymore. They are as dangerous as the brown shirts of Nazi Germany and the black shirts of fascist Italy.
Wow, the screws were put to Noem on that interview and she continuously has lame responses that hold no weight. I loved the response to RFK from Germany. So true that the U.S. has no business giving any other country medical advice. The American people have been failed by our system. Thank you, Ron, for working hard on another Sunday and giving us a great bulletin!!!
Those were more than lame responses. They were flat out lies aimed at an audience of one. I'm surprised her over botoxed face didn't start melting and sliding off her face as in South Park. Anyone that could shoot their own dog and brag about it is a psychopath.
MayorFrey is right, they can dish t out but they can't take it in.
👇🏼. 👇🏼. 👇🏼
… Frey was asked if he inflamed the situation at his first press conference: “I’m sorry I offended their delicate ears, but as far as who inflamed the situation. I dropped an f-bomb and they killed somebody. I think the killing somebody is the inflammatory element here not the f-bomb.”
Love the German response to RFK Jr!
Yes! More of this, please.
Man, I love this guy! Tell it like it is!!Keep pushing back on the pathetic ‘medical guru wannabe’- RFK Jr. !!!
He didn't even touch on the hypocrisy of defending medical autonomy while supporting a regime that wants to ban abortions.
Absolutely!!!!
Great response from Germany to RFK, Jr!
Came here to say that!
I agree! Germany shut down RFK's worm brain oversized ego in a few simple facts of their superior standards of health care are based on real science, diligent research and proven prevention with childhood vaccination....NOT conspiracy theories and junk internet opinions and that frankly Germany didn't need or want any input from an idiot like RFK! It was a beautiful and perfect shut down of another entitled, unqualified, narcissistic, uneducated, unfit trump cabinet members, completely and utterly way out of his league and woefully unqualified!
tell me what you really think ;-)
Booya!!!! Just goes to show you how far we've fallen in the eyes of the world.
Agreed
Kristi Noem is a terrorist. All the Trump regime is run by a bunch of terrorists. Less we forget Stephen Miller. He's a super terrorist. Trump loves all this shit. We need to get back to Epstein, Epstein, Epstein.

The entire first half of this bulletin was pure Orwellian BS from Noem and Homan. If they ever tell the truth, it will be a cold day in hell.
Translation of Homan's response: "Waiting to see what if anything actually gets exposed, then I'll know what lies I need to tell."
Yeah, but it's already been exposed by the FBI undercover officer who gave him $50,000 and recorded on video that was made public. Let's not let him cover that up. And he's never said what he did with the money or why he took it.
She needs to resign before she's fired. I don't think Susie Wiles can let her stay much longer.
She needs to be brought in front of The Hague, and tried as the Terrorist's that she IS!!!
She and Stephen Miller
So true!
What I don't get is why this witch still has a job! She needs to be tossed from her position now! Everyone in the WH sits on their hands waiting for someone else to come along and do it. Oh wait a minute now...everyone is afraid of the Malignant Narcissist. Got it.

You’re insulting witches. Maybe you meant to say Bitch. Because, we know she is one.
🎯🎯🎯
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 damn well said! 🎯
Of course, I agree. We think alike.
Yes! The trump regime is doing everything it can to distract from the EPSTEIN GILES!!
The corruption is no longer hidden—it’s operating in plain sight. Trump and his allies are openly serving themselves from the public treasury, and we will regret every day of this lawlessness.

Thank you. Depraved indifference wasn't mean enough for what they are doing.
Right on target, Deb,!! 💙💙💙

The past two weeks feel incredibly chaotic. However, I suspect this might simply be the Trump effect. Every two weeks something even more absurd happens so we forget the last one. Just two weeks ago Trump said Russia wants Ukraine to succeed but it’s lost in the tide of new craziness.

Like, are the National Guard troops really gone from DC and the other cities? What’s up with SNAP? We hear things and then they disappear into the abyss…
Exactly, it’s a huge story for two days and that’s it. On to the new absurdity. The older issues have not been solved, just forgotten.
The new absurdity. Perfectly said.
It was “flood the zone” from the beginning, and it just gets worse.
But nonetheless remain embedded in our consciousness and experience.
That’s the intention! Here today gone tomorrow…agenda is chaos and they’re expert agents!
Anyone who believes Trump wants Ukraine to succeed is completely out of touch with reality. He's been working for Putin and his oligarchs since the 1980s.
We mustn’t forget the horrific events of just a few weeks ago. If you’re interested in how Trump is aiding Putin in creating an energy-dependent vassal state in Ukraine, read my article here: If you want to remind yourself how Trump wants to help Putin make Ukraine an energy depended vassal: https://open.substack.com/pub/didziokas/p/putins-peace-trap-how-trump-may-be?r=48gnec&utm_medium=ios&shareImageVariant=overlay

His bulletins are the only reason I pay for a subscription to Meidas Touch.
Kristi the hague is calling..... you despicable liar, how the hell do you sleep at night ? Geezus F !!!
Corey sings her sweet lullabies.
Yuck!
It’s not the most pleasant thought.
Doing Kristi or shooting a puppy or how about an unarmed innocent 37-year-old smiling Mom taken down point-blank with three ICE shots?
I’m sure she savors the cruelty. That interview on CNN was gaslighting for the benefit of an audience of one.
Bob, I didn't put the TV on today. Who interviewed her on CNN? They were hitting back at her.
I get so frustrated with Jake Tapper. He's sitting there listening to her lies with no emotions. Not once, ever has he called out the liars. If she can sit there and lie her ugly face off, CNN should toss her out. There...I'm done.
All of it. At least we know where to look to be sickened.

Love Schaefer’s response to brain worm idiot.
It looks like Ross went to work with the intention of shooting someone while he was making a video of the shooting. Fucking asshole!!
My father, who passed in 1974, was a cop. He said two types of people become cops - those who want to serve their community and psychopaths who get off to violence. Ross is a psychopath.
As Rita said below, Ross is a psychopath and a cowboy.

He needs to be parked in a jail cell with his hands tied behind his back.
How can he look at his 3 children and know that 3 other children lost their mom and it’s because of him.
And married to a Filipina he's out hunting down immigrants? Don't get me wrong as most of the ICU nurses who saved my life last year were angels from the Philippines and my closest neighbors friends are Filipino and some in mixed marriages as well, Ida. What galls me is hunting down people of color. Period!
What's he in, Witness Protection Program with his immigrant wife and kids now? Seems slightly hypocritical to me, Paul.
I've not put on the tv or watched the news today. He's in hiding?
Yeah, Robin. Within hours of the shooting a herd of masked uniformed people (decidedly not FBI or local police) descended on the Ross residence with neighbors watching and recording. Tons of big plastic storage tubs were hauled out into unmarked waiting trucks in a quickie undercover affair.
Neighbors said Ross never came back to the house and the wife was pacing outside until this rescue crew arrived. The residence has since been dark and empty. There were some videos of the commotion on Bluesky last night too.

🙏 Me too. I would be terrified. This is a very difficult time to be alive.
Which JD promptly aired and defended. How about they're ALL psychopaths, Ramona, Rita, and Bob?
Everything is bad, and it's getting worse. But the biggie at the House is showerheads??!! WTF. ICE and border patrol are terrorizing citizens. This really is Nazi Gestapo shit.

Trump hates water-conserving showerheads because he needs a giant showerhead in order for the water to cover his fat ass.
Ooooohhh. Don't even want to think about it. Yuk
Another despicable thing the ice Gestapo does is stealing from their victims.
After they've arrested people out of their homes or businesses, they go back and steal all the victims belongings.
One report I read stated they went back to a victims house with a moving truck, filled the truck and stole all their belongings.
It's unbelievable what they're doing and what they're getting away with.
This is really gross!
Maybe the shower heads are a test run for gas chambers, Rita. Ya never know with Miller, Kristi, and ICE.
People forget Hitler didn't start out gassing people.
Am I remembering correctly that they started shooting them in mass graves, but switched to gas because they wanted to save ammunition?
Not only save ammunition but speed up the process. I am dead serious - this is Hitler 2.0.
I've been ranting about this since Donnie's first campaign. I've read many books and watched many documentaries on the rise of the Nazis so I was acutely aware of the similarities, starting with DT's rhetoric and rallies, as was every single holocaust survivor I know. Too many Americans don't know that history and have only lived in relative freedom and prosperity; they just can't believe it can happen to THEM. But is mos def can—and IS.

He did that because the process was too slow.
Hey, dontcha remember Bone Spurs told the Iranian protesters that he would attack Iran if any or them were killed? Well, hundreds of them have been killed over many days, and Donnie's done ZERO to "back them up."
Last night I watched videos of the Iranian protests on a TOUSI TV YouTube livestream podcast. The host is Iranian and Christian, living in the UK, and has family still in Iran.

Ron, you are one tenacious person when it comes to getting all the straight political facts out. Thank you for a great job.
Hope you're fully recovered from that nasty flu, too. Thanks for your dedication.
And -- really?!?! -- the House has nothing better to do than vote on shower heads???
That was the very first bill that was up for consideration. Some dope from Florida sponsored it. I’ve lived in four states, visited a couple dozen others.

My point is that just taking off regulations for a shower head may not solve the pressure problem. Not that this should be a hot topic considering the stew of other problems we have.....
We have a well so pressure varies all the time. We also have septic. Water bills and sewer user fees are astronomical in many states. Septic field repair cost is also astronomical. Why would anyone with a single functioning braincell want to use more water than necessary.
And this isn't even addressing the serious drought issues that many states are facing and that will only become worse with all the AI data centers being built. I never knew how totally ignorant a vast number of Americans are until they elected trump. Not once, but twice.
Pressure regulation as part of building codes isn’t new either. You’d think the expert of all experts in building would know such things.
If it isn’t the chaos he’s cooking up, there’s the chaos beyond America’s control, which he foolishly thinks he can fix.
That wouldn’t surprise me, he doesn’t know most things we on the left understand as a normal part of our lives. I would love to see him have to call the cable company to get his bill straightened out.
I’d pay a little money to watch that.
Or can’t fit his fat ass under the shower.
I'd say fasten your proverbial seat belts on this one, Bob! I figure it ain't about water pressure or conservation at all. Just looking to future oligarch investments on the Gestapo horizon.
If there’s a way to grift off the public, Trump is on board.
I think Republicans give Trump a little sumpin' every now and then to sooth his narcissistic injury. Plus what you said. 😂
Not with Mikey in charge! His orange boss wants this vote on shower heads done and Mikey does as he is told.
🙄
Someone ought to lock Noem and all the ICE guys in a shed on bread and water, and not let them out until they can recite and prove they understand the DoJ's OWN rulings on discharging a fire arm:
Here is FBI agent Asha Rangappa explaining clearly and legally why Ross's was a bad shot. JDV and Noem need to meet up with her.

If you like this please share - I'm sick of seeing comments from the terminally ignorant that say "She broke the law! She deserved to die!"
Asha laid it out brilliantly.
Thanks for sharing this. It is the most clarifying piece I have seen thus far on the shooting.
Each time I send a video to my maga relative, who claims Renee deserved it, he just says he/she is entitled to their opinion. It's like joe shmo on YouTube has the same credibility as an investigator for ICE for many years or Asha. Smh.
I think I'd reply "The sun comes up at night - everybody's entitled to their opinion - however stupid and detached from reality."
Or, Lady, how about they all have to "recite and prove they understand" the U.S. Constitution and maybe even the Declaration of Independence just for good measure?
ROSS broke the law—several times!!
On a side note, in contrast to ICE agents not wearing body cameras: cashiers at Walmart now have body cams. They’re little yellow boxes attached to their ID badges. If Walmart cashiers can wear body cams, why can’t ICE? And, as a bonus, the cashiers aren’t masked and haven’t killed anyone either.
But, by not having body cameras, ICE thereby retains their current ability to provide their untruthful version of events unless there are independent videos of what actually happened.
This is why "citizen journalism" is of the utmost importance in order to prove the reality of every situation so that the "Brownshirts" can't deceive the American People.
Right now ICE is a government sponsored mob. They aren’t professional anymore. They are as dangerous as the brown shirts of Nazi Germany and the black shirts of fascist Italy.
Wow, the screws were put to Noem on that interview and she continuously has lame responses that hold no weight. I loved the response to RFK from Germany. So true that the U.S. has no business giving any other country medical advice. The American people have been failed by our system. Thank you, Ron, for working hard on another Sunday and giving us a great bulletin!!!

Those were more than lame responses. They were flat out lies aimed at an audience of one. I'm surprised her over botoxed face didn't start melting and sliding off her face as in South Park. Anyone that could shoot their own dog and brag about it is a psychopath.
Hey, it worked for Hitler. That's what they're counting on.
MayorFrey is right, they can dish t out but they can't take it in.
👇🏼. 👇🏼. 👇🏼
… Frey was asked if he inflamed the situation at his first press conference: “I’m sorry I offended their delicate ears, but as far as who inflamed the situation. I dropped an f-bomb and they killed somebody. I think the killing somebody is the inflammatory element here not the f-bomb.”
