Your occasional dose (like, when I have the time) of Ronald Reagan from his diaries of 40 years ago.

Saturday, September 22, 1984 Radio program & then to the Situation Room for some discussion of the Beirut Bombing of our embassy. It is virtually impossible to retaliate without risking killing innocent people. I've told George S. to let Syria know that we are convinced this couldn't happen without their tacit approval & we d--n well will keep this in mind if it continues to happen. Spent most of day on the Mon. U.N. speech. It's a ticklish one. I don't want to sound as if I'm going soft on Russia but I don't want to kill off the Gromyko meeting before it takes place.

Is anyone on the right talking about the ICE officer who shot a pastor in the head with a pepper ball in Chicago?

Not sure if you've been following the news but someone y'all called a fascist just got killed for this rhetoric. Maybe read the room.
Congratulations to my friend @rweingarten on Why Fascists Fear Teachers. From banning books to controlling curriculum, authoritarians go after public education because it's a cornerstone of democracy. Randi's new book is a critical read for this moment. sites.prh.com/whyfascistsfea…

By the way so-called conserving conservative outlets like the dispatch and Bill Kristol at The Bukwark defending the radicalized cult of online transgenderism is exactly how Charlie Kirk happened in the first place.

Turning Point leader Brett Galaszewski asked the crowd at the Charlie Kirk vigil in Waukesha tonight how many were at their first political event ever. About 75% of the people there raised their hands.

I certainly appreciate how the right has not looted and rioted but I can't help but have some trepidation about TR's hearing today. Praying everyone is civil and let's justice do it's thing.

uh oh
To those claiming they're for free speech while punishing and silencing those for exercising that right: You're not pro-free speech. 🤔
40,000 and counting. That's the key takeaway, here.
MSNBC analyst describes how "ring wing figures" are "getting out of hand" reporting those who are celebrating and mocking the heinous public assassination of a peaceful, young father and husband for political reasons. Show host Alex Witt visibly gasps as they both appear shocked there would be any accountability for rooting for public slayings. "This is a very aggressive attempt to purge not just, you know, government officials or in the example, and the defense department, but also specifically people who work in education, who work in healthcare, who work in government." When they tell you who they are, believe them.

I just want to take a moment to thank the Native Americans for the phenomena that is Indian Summer.

The left invent an imaginary version of you in their heads and sometimes get so angry at this imaginary version of you that they murder the real you.

Be still and know Charlie Kirk's God.
For to be honest here; If someone on the left had said this, even with this apology, we would call for their firing.
My apology

"When people stop talking, that's when you get violence." -Charlie Kirk
So now TR was "farther right" than Charlie. These people.
They’ve withdrawn the friend from high school story. Not one of his own. He was farther right. “Mental gymnastics” 😂
If you have or have had kids the age of the shooter, you know there can be a time period where they want their independence but also spend time at home. I suspect this is the case here.
