    The whole situation with Darlene Graham is nothing more than a gold star example of why nepotism is typically a bad idea. This old Marine has more business being a senator and it will never happen because I don't come from a world of privilege.
    To the mother of Nolan Wells: May God bless you for the grace you have shown because I couldn't do it if I were in your shoes.

    Don, all those people who you tried to find something to criticize them about, I don`t think anyone of them appreciates being schooled by a homo, twice fired punk that would invade a church on a Sunday morning in the middle of the service, go up to the pastor and attempt to intimidate him, then terrorize a bunch of little white kids, then impede the congregation as they are trying to escape. I really, really don`t think so. You might be wiser to preach on subjects that you know more about – like being the MC at a gay pride parade, or homo orgy, or anything that in in your area of expertise. I`m just aayin`.

    Don, I`m not sure about Darlene`s abilities, but I`m betting big bucks that she has never, ever stormed a (predominately white) church on a Sunday morning and tried to intimidate the pastor in the middle of his sermon, then terrorized a bunch of little white kids, then impeded the congregation as they tried to escape. Some of those little kids thought their parents were going to be killed. They will be terrified to ever enter a church again.

    Iโ€™m a Black woman and I donโ€™t think of lawyers or doctors as white men. I grew up around many black professionals. I now live in an area that is mainly Caucasian and I truly miss having Black doctors. Itโ€™s really is about your exposure.

    A Hoosier here from NW Indiana. Unfortunately a marked NIPSCO utility vehicle ( electric utility company) was struck by gunfire in Gary, Indiana, on August 15, 2026, in a black neighborhood while crews were working to restore power following severe storms. No injuries were reported, though a bullet lodged into a vehicle headrest. Restoration work was briefly paused before resuming with added police security. No wonder the repair of power has slowed down in that area. ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ข

    Whoโ€™s the qualified opponent weโ€™re running against her Don? – Sheโ€™s a damaged woman who spent her life with her brother. Now sheโ€™s being manipulated by the GOP and sheโ€™s doing what sheโ€™s been pressured to do.
    This whole administration is a pile of criminals- we all know that.
    Whatโ€™s up w the missing Senator in Kentucky? ๐Ÿ˜ณ

    Treasonous Trump and his entire band of ignorant incompetent unqualified maga cult sycophants loyalist enablers are all complicit compulsive liars covering up for Trumpstein regime. Trumpstein regime Projects what he and his sycophants every accusation is a confession of what Trumpstein and his perverted Pedophiles protectors are all guilty of doing. The 2024 election was stolen from V.P Kamala Harris actually won. 3lon musk said Trumpstein would not have been elected without his help. ๐Ÿ‘น๐Ÿ‘น๐Ÿ‘น๐Ÿ‘น Trumpstein before the election kept saying he didn't need votes because Elon has technology to assist him. Every accusation is a confession of what Trumpstein and his perverted Pedophiles protectors are all guilty of doing. Fraud Waste and Abuse now murderers foreign and domestic. ๐Ÿ‘น๐Ÿ‘น๐Ÿ‘น
