I'm losing faith in republicans to be completely honest, I believe in "Liberal Democracy" I mean people should have the freedom to choose and elect what is they system and political alignment that best suits their values and worldview having a goon squad shoot American citizens is nowhere near what my values are I am a conservative, I believe in Person responsibility, governance by consent, limited government control over personal legal enterprise and entrepreneurship

A group of German physicians joins the chorus of experts who have discovered foreign objects in the coronavirus vaccines and the blood of the vaccinated. German Pathologists presented an analysis of the coronavirus “vaccine” during a shocking press conference in September. A clip of the conference, which has been translated exclusively for RAIR Foundation USA, reveals foreign objects in the vaccine, as well as in the blood of those who have taken the vaccine. Some of the foreign objects were described as “accurately constructed” and also – shockingly – worms that were hatched from eggs. The live-streamed press conference was...

Earlier tonight there was a thread from someone quoting a Miami local reporter quoting someone on scene at the shooting. The person was afraid to give name because they would get fired. Is the thread pulled?

Just spoke with old friend, very senior retired USN skipper. Says his contacts, many of whom were his "boys," are concerned with how stupid the MSM and Americans are and at how the Internet has fueled rampant ignorance. As I was calling him, he was calling me to call my military and IC friends to have a laugh and share some scotch to ease our aching heads.
