    ANNOUNCEMENT! I have officially joined the land of Substack. It was probably inevitable. But I'm very excited about the opportunities the platform affords. And most of all, looking forward to making insufferable people's heads explode mtracey.substack.com/p/officially-d…

    They always strangely leave out another country that's receiving a large amount of money from the US
    We sent $250 billion to Ukraine. And yet we can’t get water to fight fires in California.

    Imagine saying this to a manual laborer when your job is to sit around chatting about politics
    Ben Shapiro: "No one in the United States should be retiring at 65 years old. Frankly, I think retirement itself is a stupid idea unless you have some sort of health problem."

    Lead sponsor of the TikTok bill, Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) admits the real reason they're rushing to ban TikTok -- because it's "becoming the dominant news platform for Americans under 30" and the US government doesn't control it like other platforms

    Do you have any evidence that this person is incompetent at her profession? The bio also says she's a 22 year vet of the LAFD, and was previously Battalion Chief, Assistant Chief, Deputy Chief, and Chief Deputy. These cheap swipes based on identity traits are getting tiresome
    Meet Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley. She boasts about being the first female and LGBTQ fire chief in the LA Fire Department. Promoting a culture of DEI is her priority. Does this make you feel safer?
