Nikki Haley would like to place harsh restrictions on Americans, including our freedom of speech. Her most recent idea states that all social media users should verify their identification. “When I get into office, the first thing we have to do, social media accounts, social media companies, they have to show America their algorithms.

Before the bombing, Clinton and Defense Secretary William Cohen repeatedly tossed out figures of 100,000 dead, and the State Department even claimed that up to 500,000 Kosovars were feared dead.
