Why believe them, when they’ve proven to be wrong (or lying, my preferred explanation at this point) at so many turns? For example, and most recently, almost every MSM news outlet reported that anonymous but reliable sources had told them … Continue reading →
Yesterday I wondered what the next step for the Resistance would be. First there was the idea that Trump had colluded with the Russians. When that fell through, we had the charge of obstruction, which is current. That almost certainly … Continue reading →
