news is Jesus Christ is LORD King over all.
Harris was never vetted or elected. In Obama administration. Sorts supports bailouts.
Plenty of recordings on democrats laptops. Archived. Hashtag # Facts.
don't you remember the accusation against Kavanaugh he shoved a girlfriend up against a wall after lunch, and the girlfriend came out and said it never happened? THAT is what innocent men do ...
All these people say Trump said this or that. Everyone has a phone, why are there no recordings of these alleged sayings. Surely over all these years there must be one recording.
