I haven't read the the link. I am reposting McGann. X doesn't need your support. Even your unwilling support.

A russian missile hit Ukraine’s Cabinet of Ministers building in September — widely seen as an attempt to kill the country’s leadership. So why wasn’t President Trump “very angry” about that?

If this doesn’t trigger outrage, what does?

They may be bracing for it, but never forget the Democrats ability to blow a lead. The only poll the counts is election day.

Look, I'm sure that Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey" will be fun, but I highly doubt it will be as good as the original.

"I wanted peace." "They rejected everything." "I was forced to act."

A U.S. soldier was executed on the streets of the U.S. capital, yet the flags remain at full-staff.

I saw a report today that MAID deaths now make up 5 percent of Canadian deaths. Euthanasia instead of adequate social programs.

This article is from the beginning of the year, but the situation it describes hasn't gotten better.
