Think-tank Republicans needed to be thinking about this 15 years ago, at a minimum.
This is an extension of the censorship in the fields of oceanography, meteorology, education, and even biology for the past several decades. May God have mercy on us.

The quality of a democratic republic will never exceed the quality of the press.
I am streaming Rush on WMAL. While Rush is talking about the Hunter PC/emails and all that goes with it the WMAL website and station break news are COMPLETELY IGNORING THE STORY. It is surreal
They are ignoring it as fast as they can......................
Crying over spilled soup, much?
