Nothing but lockstep Executive Agents to implement leftist political will.

That is their solution to teachers molesting children.

“Can’t get healing drugs for Covid”

FWIW a couple of weeks ago I got some “horse paste” on Amazon. No trouble at all.

But you better not attempt to get Ivermectin via the mail! The USPS and the FIB will be all over you.

Seems like proof to me they prefer us dead!

headline:
"abortion pill … allowing direct shipment to patients in many states, including Illinois."

What's with this "patient" stuff? Pregnancy is not a disease.

By the way, God is allowing direct shipments to hell in many states, including Illinois. No waiting.
