One senseless murder by an illegal immigrant is a tragedy. When one becomes 10 and 10 grows to 60‚ it's an orchestrated slaughter. In 2021‚ illegal immigrants were convicted of the homicide or manslaughter of 60 people‚ according to Fox News. It was an ungodly 1‚900 percent increase from the...

After Donald Trump’s dominating Super Tuesday performance‚ Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has endorsed Trump in the 2024 presidential election. Nikki Haley officially dropped out of the race Wednesday‚ securing Trump as the GOP nominee.

It should come as no surprise that‚ as nominee‚ he will have my support‚” McConnell said‚ according to NBC News. WATCH: Mitch McConnell endorses Trump for president pic.twitter.com/zWdEtl6pHF — The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) March 6‚ 2024 NBC News reports: The Senate minority leader was the highest-profile Republican who had yet to endorse Trump. When asked repeatedly whether he would back the former president in recent months‚ McConnell demurred‚ telling reporters he would back the party’s eventual nominee. McConnell issued his endorsement shortly after former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley ended her campaign for the presidency. In his statement Wednesday‚ McConnell highlighted the “great things” he and Trump had accomplished during his presidency‚ including remaking the federal judiciary and installing three conservative justices on the Supreme Court. “I look forward to the opportunity of switching from playing defense against the terrible policies the Biden administration has pursued to a sustained offense geared towards making a real difference in improving the lives of the American people‚” he said. Mitch McConnell endorses President Trump pic.twitter.com/GIWxwo3uRA — Citizen Free Press (@CitizenFreePres) March 6‚ 2024 The Associated Press called McConnell’s endorsement “a remarkable turnaround from the onetime critic who blamed the then-president for ‘disgraceful’ acts in the Jan. 6‚ 2021‚ Capitol attack.” BREAKING: Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell endorses Donald Trump for president‚ saying he "will have my support." https://t.co/hNyEYg8KBR — The Associated Press (@AP) March 6‚ 2024 From the Associated Press: The nod from McConnell‚ who has criticized Trump as “morally responsible” for the 2021 mob siege of the Capitol‚ lends an imprimatur of institutional legitimacy to the indicted former president’s bid to return to the White House. It comes after McConnell made his own sudden announcement last week he would step down after this term as leader‚ a position he has held longer than any other senator‚ and as he tries one more time to win back Republican control of the Senate‚ with Trump likely at the top of the GOP ticket. Trump now counts the GOP leaders in Congress‚ including Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Republicans vying to replace McConnell as leader‚ as backing his bid for the White House. McConnell‚ of Kentucky‚ said he and Trump “worked together to accomplish great things for the American people.” While McConnell said early in the election cycle he would support the eventual Republican presidential nominee‚ his endorsement of Trump is a striking reunion for the two men‚ who have put political interests ahead of any personal displeasure with one another.

It’s official….she’s finally done! Several months too late‚ but Nikki Haley has finally suspended her campaign and dropped out of the race. And she did it in the most Nikki Haley way possible…arrogant and absolutely disconnected from reality. Oh‚ and this time she threw in some sacrilegious comments too for an extra touch‚ because why not misinterpret and misquote the Bible to make it all about you?  After all‚ she did win D.C. and Vermont!  Two of the Swampy-est places in our country!  Those kooks in Vermont voted for a straight up socialist (Bernie Sanders).

She refuses to endorse President Trump but “wishes him well”. She then blasphemously quotes from the Bible with a vomit-inducing statement about little girls putting their faith in her campaign. Memo to Nikki Haley: nothing in the Bible endorses your campaign. The Bible says to put your faith in God/Jesus. Even to the very end‚ Nikki Haley proves how sacrilegious and out of touch she truly is. Also how wildly fake. It was expected that Haley would endorse Zelensky‚ but we can confirm that did not happen. In this longer clip (if you can stomach it) you will see that while she did not directly endorse Zelensky (a funny joke we had made) she did stunningly reference continuing to support Ukraine‚ so she basically came comically close to doing what we had simply joked about. Wow: Thank you‚ America While Nikki Haley’s run for President of the United States has come to an end‚ we will always continue to fight for a proud and strong America.pic.twitter.com/WSv3Pt6l8v — Team Nikki Haley (@NikkiHaleyHQ) March 6‚ 2024 She did (barely and very passive-aggressively) congratulate Trump but failed to endorse him: NOW – Nikki Haley quits campaign‚ congratulates Trump. pic.twitter.com/j7AOn682ij — Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) March 6‚ 2024 All I can say is I’m glad to no longer be seeing her face‚ anyone else agree?

This is pretty sad and hilarious‚ even for Mitch McConnell. Calling McConnell a RINO (Republican In Name Only) seems too generous at this point.  In fact‚ I question whether he’s even an American or working for China. And while it doesn’t really mean anything at this point and especially coming from him‚ McConnell has finally bent the knee and endorsed Donald J. Trump.

Too little‚ too late!pic.twitter.com/z08Dlr9AtB — Suburban Black Man (@niceblackdude) March 6‚ 2024 It was only a few weeks ago on February 27th that McConnell REFUSED to endorse President Trump. Remember this? JUST IN—Mitch McConnell refuses to endorse Donald Trump. pic.twitter.com/igL7K3jcmc — Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) February 27‚ 2024 Here’s more‚ from CNN: Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell announced Wednesday he will support Donald Trump for the presidency‚ a move that comes more than three years after they have last spoken and after the Kentucky Republican pointedly blamed Trump for the January 6‚ 2021‚ attack on the US Capitol. “It is abundantly clear that former President Trump has earned the requisite support of Republican voters to be our nominee for President of the United States‚” McConnell said in a statement. “It should come as no surprise that as nominee‚ he will have my support.” McConnell’s announcement came just minutes after Trump’s final substantive primary challenger – former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley – said she would leave the race the morning after Super Tuesday‚ in which Trump dominated the races across the country. McConnell’s support came after lengthy discussions for months between Chris LaCivita from the Trump campaign and longtime McConnell confidant Josh Holmes about opening communications between the two camps and – maybe most importantly – getting on the same page about the US Senate races this year‚ according to a source familiar. McConnell‚ who hasn’t spoken to Trump since December 2020‚ didn’t speak to him before he issued his endorsement‚ according to another source familiar with the matter. The source said that LaCivita and Holmes spoke instead. The public support from McConnell‚ who announced last week he would step down as GOP leader at the end of the year‚ also came after his other top Republican senators have endorsed Trump. John Thune‚ the No. 2 Republican in the chamber who is running to replace McConnell‚ endorsed Trump earlier this month. Texas Sen. John Cornyn‚ another possible McConnell successor‚ backed Trump after he won the New Hampshire primary. Thune‚ who has been vocal in the past about his concerns over how Trump will fare with suburban voters‚ told CNN that he believes the Republican ticket will deliver a united message. “I think we got to‚ gonna have a united ticket going into the fall. and we’ll all go out and all help aggressively win those people in suburban areas‚ independent voters‚” he told CNN. “It’s now a – it’s a straight up one on one.” RELATED: FACT-CHECK: Mitch McConnell’s Hands and Mouth Alarmingly Black and Blue? Time for a Fact-Check! I saw this photo swirling around Twitter today and it definitely caught my attention: Look at his hands and lips…zoom in what the hell?? pic.twitter.com/QYKnELM0S1 — Poppi Starr (@popstarr65) February 13‚ 2024 Screenshot: Wow‚ that’s really bad! Mitch McConnell’s hands and mouth look horrible! Black &; blue would be an understatement. But….is it true? Is it real? Well…yes!  Yes‚ this is an authentic photo.  The only catch?  It’s not “new” it’s from 2020. From Slate (in 2020): The photos began spreading on Twitter later that day. Unlike most photos of blue hands‚ they were not doctored. McConnell’s press secretary has not responded to two requests for comment about whether the longtime Republican leader has suffered any health issue. But Politico congressional reporter John Bresnahan‚ who specializes in haranguing old senators about their mortality‚ asked McConnell on Thursday what’s going on. The conversation (via the Capitol Hill press pool) went as follows: Bresnahan: Everyone’s been asking about your hands. Is there something going on? McConnell: I’ve been worried about your health‚ Bres. How are you feeling? Bresnahan: I’m feeling OK. McConnell: Good for you. Bresnahan: But I’m serious‚ is there anything going on we should know about? McConnell: Of course not. McConnell later reiterated to CNN’s Ted Barrett that he has “no concerns‚” but wouldn’t answer when asked whether he’s being treated by a doctor. (It is‚ generally‚ a miracle whenever McConnell utters a word‚ or even looks at you‚ or even gives any indication that there’s another human being in his presence‚ when you ask him a question in the hallway.) Another view here: Here’s more on the 2020 story from the NY Post: What’s wrong with Mitch McConnell’s hands? Probably nothing more than the thinning skin — and easy bruising — that comes with old age. Dermatologists say the 78-year-old Senate majority leader’s black-and-blue bruises and bandaged hands are likely a common condition called senile purpura. “Your skin just naturally becomes more fragile as you age‚” Dr. Doris Day‚ a Manhattan-based dermatologist‚ told The Post. “I think it’s just a bruise — a solid good bruise‚” she said. Older skin loses its elasticity and its cushioning layer of collagen‚ doctors say. That naturally occurring fragility of the skin can also be complicated by prior chronic sun exposure. And if you’re taking any kind of blood thinner‚ even baby aspirin‚ bruising is even more likely. “It’s really just from anything that creates some trauma that causes blood to leak out from the vessels under the skin‚” Day said. “It’s not a problem if it goes away. If you do bruise and the bruise does not go away‚ then you need to see a hematologist‚” or blood doctor‚ she said. “There’s not really much you can do‚” agreed Dr. Jeremy Fenton‚ dermatologist at Schweiger Dermatology Group in Manhattan and Long Beach. “You can try some things‚ topical treatments that can build collagen and thicken the skin‚ such as retinoids‚ lactic acid lotions‚ but it’s going to be an uphill battle.” Fenton also agreed that the condition appears to be senile purpura — and he wondered further whether McConnell’s bruises resulted from a recent attempt to draw blood. “If someone was trying to draw blood from him — especially if someone is on blood thinners — that can cause significant bruising‚” he noted. “But why does he have the bruising on his lips too? That wouldn’t be explained by someone drawing blood.” Even Snopes rated the photo as TRUE: On Oct. 21‚ 2020‚ social media users began circulating an image said to show the hands of U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell‚ with those appendages looking unusually — and alarmingly — dark and mottled: This image is indeed an Associated Press-distributed photograph of the 78-year-old U.S. senator from Kentucky‚ taken on Oct. 20 and captioned as follows: “Hands of U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell are seen as he talks to the media after the Republican policy luncheon on Capitol Hill in Washington on October 20‚ 2020. Photo by Yuri Gripas/Abaca/Sipa USA” Why McConnell’s hands exhibited purplish bruises and bandages — a conspicuous change from just a week earlier‚ when his hands appeared fine — has prompted much speculation‚ with guesses ranging from claims that the senator has contracted COVID-19 to the possibility that he has a vascular disease and/or is undergoing dialysis and is taking blood thinners. As neither McConnell nor any of his representatives have publicly commented on his condition‚ a definitive answer is not yet available. Of course with the benefit of perfect hindsight vision‚ we now know it was only a few months later that Mitch McConnell would suddenly freeze up like a glitched robot at a microphone….not once‚ but twice! Were the hands and mouth an early indicator something was very wrong? Remember this? BREAKING: Mitch McConnell “Freezes Up” Again For About 30 Seconds…Very Alarming BREAKING: Mitch McConnell "Freezes Up" Again For About 30 Seconds...Very Alarming This is a Breaking News Alert... Sen.

It's actually no laughing matter‚ it's incredibly frustrating that we have people this old and this gone allegedly "representing us" in Congress. I'm sure it's also very alarming to his family‚ but at this point I have almost no sympathy for them. You want him to have some dignity and privacy? Get him the Hell out of Congress!

What is one of the most iconic American images out there involving American victories and American greatness? MANY come to mind…. But somewhere likely on your Top 10 or Top 20 list is the iconic “V-J Day Kiss Photo”. This one: This is iconic. https://t.co/Lf2WOe5T4e pic.twitter.com/xZRnns5uwF — Dean Cain (@RealDeanCain) March 5‚ 2024 Iconic. Historic. It immediately evokes all sorts of emotions. And it’s exactly the kind of thing the Anti-American Woke Mind Virus would hate. Sure enough‚ the Department of Veteran Affairs of all places just tried to ban the iconic image from ever being shown in its offices: EXCLUSIVE: The Department Of Veterans Affairs just BANNED the V-J Day kiss photo from all department facilities. “To promote a culture of inclusivity and awareness… your cooperation is vital.” pic.twitter.com/MZfNHbpV76 — End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) March 5‚ 2024 The Department Of Veterans Affairs has BANNED the V-J Day kiss photo from all department facilities “to promote a culture of inclusivity.” The country you grew up in no longer exists. pic.twitter.com/XKuOduply4 — Kingsley Wilson (@KingsleyCortes) March 5‚ 2024 You can’t make this stuff up folks! What nonsensical reason did the VA come up with for banning the photo? Because it displayed “nonconsensual acts”: Happening now: @SecVetAffairs overrules VA administrator who wanted to ban famous WWII kiss photo from @DeptVetAffairs medical sites because it shows a non-consensual sexual act. https://t.co/zb4VO5OvDa — Leo Shane III (@LeoShane) March 5‚ 2024 What nonsense! The Woke Mind Virus always tries to protect people from things that are either imaginary or that no one wants protected from. For DECADES‚ Americans have loved this photo and not one complaint about it….not even from the woman in the photo herself! That’s so typical of Woke Liberals….finding offense on behalf of someone else….who has publicly stated they themselves were not offended about it in the first place! Take a look at this: ChatGPT confirms Greta Zimmer Friedman was not bothered by the kiss: The woman in the iconic V-J Day in Times Square photograph‚ often simply referred to as “The Kiss‚” is Greta Zimmer Friedman. This photograph was taken on August 14‚ 1945‚ by Alfred Eisenstaedt and published in Life magazine. It captures the moment an American sailor‚ George Mendonsa‚ spontaneously kissed a woman‚ Greta Friedman‚ in Times Square‚ New York City‚ as people celebrated the announcement of Japan’s surrender and the end of World War II. Greta Friedman did discuss the photograph and the kiss in various interviews over the years. She clarified that the kiss was not a romantic gesture but a spontaneous act by a stranger caught up in the excitement of the day. Friedman mentioned that the kiss was not consensual in the sense that she didn’t anticipate or have a choice in the matter; it was a surprise to her. However‚ she also noted that‚ given the context of the celebrations and the time period‚ she didn’t view it negatively. She understood the kiss as an expression of jubilation rather than an act of personal affection. So perhaps if the person you’re finding outrage on behalf of wasn’t bothered and if it’s decades old‚ maybe we shouldn’t let the Woke Mind Virus infect this one? The good news is sanity won the day and the decision has been overturned. Just as the Supreme Court overturned the effort from Woke Colorado Sec. of State to remove President Trump from the ballot in a 9-0 unanimous decision‚ so too this was overturned by people who still have some semblance of sanity or at least knew the backlash was so great they had to intervene even if they didn’t want to.

But the move apparently blind-sided their furious boss‚ VA Secretary Denis McDonough‚ who very publicly reversed the edict on X on Tuesday morning — after seemingly learning of it through a tweet. The VA chief had not been made aware of the memo before it was issued and never approved it‚ sources familiar with the matter added to The Associated Press. The photo — which captures an ecstatic US sailor kissing a nurse passing by to celebrate the end of war with Japan in 1945 — was deemed “inappropriate behavior” by VA higher-ups because it “depicts a non-consensual act.” Displaying the snapshot in VA hospitals “could be construed as a tacit endorsement of the inappropriate behavior it depicts‚” wrote RimaAnn Nelson‚ the agency’s assistant undersecretary for Health for Operations‚ in a Feb. 29 memo to staffers around the country. “Employees have expressed discomfort with the display of this photograph” — and “to foster a more trauma-informed environment‚’’ it should be removed‚ the missive said. Doing so “reflects our dedication to creating a respectful and safe workplace‚ and is in keeping with our broader efforts to promote a culture of inclusivity and awareness‚” Nelson wrote. Here’s the true story behind the iconic V-J Day kiss pic As first dates go‚ Rita Petry thought this one was pretty great: a beautiful summer afternoon in the city‚ a matinee at Radio City Music Hall‚ drinks after‚ followed by a passionate‚ soon-to-be-iconic kiss. Well‚ maybe not the kiss: Her handsome young suitor‚ it turns out‚ planted that on another woman. Such is the incredible story behind one of the most romantic and enduring photos of the 20th century — and one of our most compelling mysteries. Since Aug. 14‚ 1945‚ the identities of the smooching sailor and the nurse in Alfred Eisenstaedt’s Times Square V-J Day photograph have never been determined — until the publication‚ last week‚ of the book “The Kissing Sailor: The Mystery Behind the Photo that Ended World War II.” There’s another person in the frame‚ one nobody even knew to look for‚ who makes the image that much more poignant: Rita Petry‚ the future wife of that sailor‚ George Mendonsa. The administration honcho suggested staffers instead find “alternative photographs that capture the spirit of victory and peace without compromising the VAs commitment to a safe and respectful environment. “Your cooperation in this matter is vital‚’’ the memo added. “Please ensure that these photographs are promptly removed.” But the ban is believed to have infuriated Nelson’s boss when he learned of it — apparently five days later through social media. “Let me be clear: This image is not banned from VA facilities — and we will keep it in VA facilities‚” McDonough wrote on X on Tuesday — an hour and a half after a copy of Nelson’s memo surfaced on an account titled End Wokeness. The VA chief had not been made aware of the memo before it was issued and never approved it‚ sources familiar with the matter told The Associated Press. The celebrated snap was taken by famed “Life’’ magazine photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt on Aug. 14‚ 1945‚ the day the Japanese announced they were surrendering. It garnered controversy in recent years‚ particularly with the #MeToo movement‚ because the woman in the photograph‚ a dental assistant named Greta Zimmer Friedman‚ had never met the sailor‚ George Mendonsa‚ before she suddenly found herself lip-locked with him at the Crossroads of the World. What do you think?
