Mr. President, Concede The Election But Not The Fight
I suspect that those who are in favor of doing away with the Electoral College haven’t really thought it through. Come on, man! If we abolish the Electoral College where will future generations of electricians go to learn how to fix our wiring? All kidding aside, today state electors in all 50 states and the…
Biden Taps Kamala: Brilliant, Pandering, Or Irrelevant Pick?

University Of Portland Removes Corps Of Discovery Statue

Media, Like The GF Tribune, Can’t Help Themselves, They Just Gotta Lie

That particular picture is intended to remind you of someone. The headline with it is intended…
Does Joe Biden Believe Tara Reade?
