Johnny Rotten Lines Up With Ted Nugent, Scott Baio, Colby Covington And The Duck Dynasty Guy
DownWithTyranny, DownWithTyranny! - 3 minutes ago
It's a truism that when people get old, they turn conservative. Not me. But Johnny Rotten... I met him a few times but never really got to know him; never really wanted to. As much as I was in awe of his songs, I always thought he seemed creepy. I mean I once found Sid Vicious in a closet at a party overdosing and took him to a clinic... but Rotten seemed way creepier than that. So, yeah, he's a Trump supporter. Emma Nolan did an update for *Newsweek*. Lydon's an old man-- 64. So why not? I'm guessing he's got some money too. Rich old white guys... most of them are for Trump....

Why Russia's Su-35S Flanker Exceeded Expectations

They carry different, far more sophisticated weapons, including the R-60 AAM, the Magic 2 and the Python III. This makes them far more lethal than their older cousins. Moreover, upgrades to their electronics have improved their radar and communications equipment, and have made possible the delivery of precision-guided munitions. Military airc...

“The COVID Vaccine Should be Tested on Politicians First. If They Survive, the Vaccine Is Safe. If They Don’t, Then the Country Is Safe.”
Brian-Admin, Health Impact News - 5 hours ago
Polish Author, Monika Wisniewska, suggests that: “The vaccine should be tested on politicians first. If they survive, the vaccine is safe. If they don’t, then the country is safe.” Sounds like a joke, but it isn’t. It is dead-serious. One may want to add to this very sensible proposal that the very first to be vaccinated with his own Moderna human genome-altering vaccine, should imperatively be the czar of vaccines, Bill Gates. But no special fabrication for Mr. Gates. The real thing. Controlled by independent honorable virologists, immunologists and DNA-specialized biologists.
