Lutnick The Loser Threatens Canada. Our Answer? Bring It On.

This isn’t a negotiation. It’s a threat from the sitting U.S. Secretary of Commerce, who thinks Canada will just roll over. He’s about to find out how wrong he is.

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

And why go to Walter Reed to get it when he has a full medical staff at The White House?

Something smells fishy…

This week, MAGA figures claimed Kristi Noem "stared down" violent antifa protesters in Portland. Turns out they were talking mostly about a guy in a chicken suit.
