Dick Cheney and the IRS endorse Kamala Harris for president. Are you starting to pay attention yet?
Notice how Kamala doesn't talk about "climate change" or the "green new deal" at all anymore, and now she's all in on fracking, something that she always clearly said she would definitely ban?

Hunters & Collectors are one of my favourite bands. it was a great surprise and gave such pleasure to hear them on the play out on this episode. Thank you for making my day. Keep up the great work.
Serious question: Why were members of the Biden-Harris Administration, like Chef Jose Andres, posing for photos with the would-be Trump assassin?

CBS: "We could only find one [Kamala] Harris supporter in every restaurant. We left no stone unturned. approached every single person..People are really excited about Trump." Working class Americans fired up, ready to roll for the People's President. Just 47 days to go. CBS News reporter Adriana Diaz said on Tuesday on "CBS Mornings" that while she was traveling through Nevada, she interviewed people at restaurants who were "really excited" to vote for former President.
Fun fact: President Trump Has Survived More Assassination Attempts Than Harris Has Campaign Interviews.
Alveda King, niece of the great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, who knows a thing or two about assassinations, says thank God for protecting President Donald J. Trump.
