As I read through the stunning report that was FOIA’d by a local citizen, Chris Caijula, I had so many questions, most of which I suspected would never be answered. Unfortunately, in Michigan, the Democrat...

GBI Strategies was a huge part of the Biden machine. Yet far-left zealots like Michigan’s Attorney General Dana Nessel have repeatedly lied and said there...

It makes for very interesting reading. https://www.ncbar.gov/orders/06dhc35.pdf
