Biden's open borders policy allows China and Mexican cartel to murder thousands of Americans with fentanyl
J. Robert Smith: From Breitbart News, April 19: RIVERSIDE COUNTY, California — Four times as much fentanyl is flowing across the United States-Mexico border under President Joe Biden compared to two years prior when former President Trump was in office.

The RCMP didn’t tell the public about the mass murderer’s fake police car because they didn’t want to create a ‘frantic panic’
Ever since the mass murders of April 18/19, 2020, one unanswered question has been: Why did the RCMP wait so long to notify the public about the killer’s fake police car? An answer comes via RCMP Staff Sergeant Steve Halliday, who was interviewed by the Mass Casualty Commission (MCC) on November 3, 2021. According to […] read more
Yet another example of Big Tech trying to manipulate US politics?
One hopes that with Elon Musk taking over Twitter, that platform at least will become more even-handed in its approach to US politics. Sadly, the same may not be true of Google, as this report suggests. Its authors are themselves partisan, so keep that in mind when you read it. An alarming study released last month showed that Google’s Gmail marks Republican campaign emails as “spam” 8.5 times more often than it does Democrat campaign emails. This bias has led to potentially hundreds of millions of fundraising losses for Republican candidates. While it’s no secret Big Tech h... read more

The Dem's story they can't tell?
Fox News: As former President Barack Obama strolled by reporters during a visit to the White House earlier this month, he was asked what he'd tell Democrats facing daunting midterm elections. "We've got a story to tell, just got to tell it," Obama said. As he often did during his presidency, Obama claimed Democrats simply needed to message better and their problems may well be solved. Two days earlier, Hillary Clinton had told NBC's "Meet the Press" that "we've got a great story to tell. And we need to get out there and do a better job of telling it."
