Democrats push power based on “Kink, Kolor, and Kin (rich Daddy)
It’s why we’ll make American Great Again and why Democrats will turn states into democrat hellholes like the cities they run.
Prayers for Kenny Xu’s win.
He’ll be a Xu in.
I would be nice if this article mention the full name of the man this is about.

Sure, no problem.
It would also be good to describe these candidates’ worldviews. In fact ALL candidates’ worldviews.
Do they know Grasshopper? Do they know that Everybody is Kung Fu Fighting?
This is a well written good article.
That’s rare nowadays.
