When the press reports a story that isn't popular, that doesn't mean that it's not truthful. A free press = protection for us all.

@KimiChernoby I hired a woman to fill a position in our company. One of the men who would report to her told me that he'd leave if I hired her. I told him that we'd miss him and asked when his last day would be. That was that. Discrimination against women is still pervasive, and awful.

@anniekarni Well, she sure isn't on my call list. There are two types of people running for office these days. People of honor, and people who are without a moral compass. Her lies as press secretary prove which type of candidate she is.

@plutothepanacea Fun Fact. No one in the history of college basketball has scored 3000 points, 750 rebounds, and 750 assists until Caitlin Clark. By season end she will own the scoring record for men and women. The fact that you hate it so much is just icing on the cake.

@realDonaldTrump Donald Trump, whom Brett does not trust, has worked for multiple presidents including the current pretender, who lost the popular vote. Brett resigned on principle rather than work for a grandstander. Why is the Fake President making such a big deal about this? Scared?
