Mr. President, pardon Julian Assange and Edward Snowden.

They were targeted by the deep state for exposing the corruption.

Thanks for posting. Great, victory for someone who’s constitutional rights were ignored! Didn’t see it coming but sure happy justice was served for George. Hope there are more to come. The Constitution still lives. Praise God.

People, I was just on Twitter and POTUS is not signing the “Covid” bill. He’s disgusted with it and is sending it back!

Newsmax says that he is threatening to veto the bill. He has not done so per Sebastian Gorka.
