VIDEOThe arrest of the Patriot Front in Idaho on June 11 has sparked widespread skepticism. For some reason few seem to believe what is being presented on the news. Perhaps the Whitmer "kidnapping" plot in which the undercover feds outnumbered the clueless real participants by a ratio of about 2 to 1 might be a factor in this skepticism.
