Notes from the Resistance
‘God Bless the USA’ singer Lee Greenwood on why he pulled out of NRA convention… And obviously, that weapon killed kids. And I just couldn’t go,” he told hosts Brian Kilmeade, Pete Hegseth and Ainsley Earhardt. [More]
The weapon killed kids. Coming from a guy thankful that others “gave” him his rights.

According to “real reporter” Stephen Collinson, CNN’s resident White House propagandist, defending yourself against political attacks is “politicizing” an issue, and thus “hypocrisy.”
It’s the same lying “rationale” that says defending yourself against physical attack is “vigilantism.”
Push back against bullies and they call you a bully. When they’re not calling you a Nazi…
