TWEETS OF NOTE
(@RealJamesWoods) People were burned alive during the Palisades/Eaton fires. Vagrants are directly culpable for arson over 17,000 times per year. Meanwhile firefighters are being overwhelmed on fentanyl emergencies, giving Narcan to drug-addicted hobos. It’s GOT to stop. Vote for Spencer Pratt. Tweet.
(@spencerpratt) My house burned down. I lost everything. I can’t rebuild. As a 42 year old man with 2 kids, I’ve had to move into my parents’ house, and I’m getting attacked for that? This is journalism? This is why no decent people ever get into politics. This is why you only have goblins running everything. God help you if you try to make things right for your community…if you lose your entire town, “journalists” mock you for not making your kids sleep in the toxic dirt on your burned out lot. Who raised you, dude? Tweet.
