". . . the fake news isn’t reporting on Operation Arctic Frost. It’s not that they’re trying to cover it up. . . but that they actually think it was totally normal and legitimate." — Hans Mahncke. Surely you’ve noticed in recent years just how gruesome the Halloween townscape has become with our competitive yard displays of giant skeletons, shrieking ghouls, corpses seeming to emerge from the crabgrass, and miscellaneous body parts strewn about the property. The symbolism seems pretty overt: America yearns to become a death cult. The world has seen this before and it generally doesn’t end well....

It now appears that Arctic Frost, launched by Jack Smith and the Biden regime, was an attempt to wipe out MAGA and to persecute many of the top MAGA personalities. As The Gateway Pundit reported on Tuesday, the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee released new Arctic Frost documents, which revealed the investigation was much...
