Jen and Norm, you help me get through the darkest nights, and sometimes even darker mornings. Thank you! I still am at a loss to understand, when suits are being filed, to which judge do they go? Why is a federal judge in Rhode Island, or one in the northwest, ruling on a suit brought to them? Why them, in particular? Perhaps I should just google this question, but I no longer trust even google who has done the bidding of the PINO. THANK YOU! Carol
I think it would interesting if the news media started referring to mr. trump as "Musk's lackey announced today ect" If nothing it is true and would make mr. trump angry.

Please do a segment on Stephen Miller. He successfully flies under the radar, but I feel his malign influence in everything that is going on,
Jen is truly a force of nature! Thank you for highlighting the unsung heroes.
How do we let these courageous Justice employees that we appreciate their courage?
Email or business address?
I think they should know how many are deeply touched by their bravery.

How about a nation-wide citizen boycott of paying federal income taxes!?
Is the Contrarian prepared to play a focused role in The Resistance?
