Obvious Truth



Donald Trump’s path back to the White House is being paved … stone by stone … by the manic actions of the spittle-flecked lefty deep state  …



STAND UP FOR AMERICA FIRST!


Obvious Truth


Trump and Judge Merchan

The political elites in New York State as well as its bar association should be hanging their heads in shame for their silence in reaction to the travesty of the ‘Hush Money” trial now taking place in Manhattan. Judge Merchan is completely compromised and does not even attempt to run a fair judicial process.


The New York State legal oversight’s silence is shameful and complicit. Perhaps AG Letitia James has set a bad example?


A very sorry spectacle …

America’s Gifts to China


The best thing that has happened to China was America … we showed them how capitalism works to create wealth … we allowed them to sreal our inventions … we helped feed their masses … we gave them a taste of freedom.


And what have they reciprocated with?  The threat of domination!


Not very thankful …
