Many of these are known to have ties to terrorist organizations, criminal cartels, and adversarial foreign intelligence agencies. The American taxpayers are footing the bill for many of these people. Violent crimes are being committed in record numbers by foreign invaders. In that same time, food prices have doubled. Energy prices are sky high. Auto insurance has nearly doubled. The American Dream is almost unattainable for most young Americans. 09/18/2024 00:00

It is official, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has settled on the radical left-wing Governor of Minnesota as her running mate, rejecting calls to pick someone more centrist and obliterating all hope that she will govern reasonably if elected. 08/14/2024 00:00
