VIDEOThe liberals are DESPERATE for Attorney General Merrick Garland to act in a completely political manner and indict President Donald Trump BEFORE the midterm elections. Sleepy Joe has caused so much havoc on America both economically and socially that they see such a phony indictment as the only way to stave off big election losses in November.The good news for Merrick Garland is that he doesn't even have to build a real case against Trump.

What evidence did they have? How had they built such a sprawling investigation,...

Remember when we had an entire impeachment because the last president supposedly tried to use the official capacity of his office to push for an investigation of Biden family corruption? Well, the current president, who just so happens to be Joe Biden, has taken things a step further, using the official capacity of his office to push for the prosecution of Donald Trump.So, when does the impeachment start?That’s a rhetorical question, of course, but there is a new report confirming what I’m sure many suspected: Biden wants the DOJ to criminally charge Trump for something related to January 6th.Biden has...
