But it’s likely MAGA probably prefers “deniers” because the 2020 election was stolen and only the communist funded corporate media addicts are left that don’t realize it. This includes Fox News by the way. ***** At what point do Democrats and Republicans finally realize that there is one party and one party only and politicians only masquerade as “Ds” or “Rs.” Once upon a time, Democrats hated the war -mongering Bush/ Cheney regime. The Bush/Cheneys are no different than the Obama/ Bidens. As George Carlin so eloquently stated, “It’s a big club and you ain’t in it.” ***** President Donald Trump's social media app Truth Social soared to the No. 1 downloaded app on the Google Play store Friday after its longawaited debut. Truth Social sat atop the free apps list ahead of such brand names as Tik Tok, Amazon, WhatsApp and Instagram. ***** The government of Saudi Arabia released an official statement saying that the Biden regime asked them to delay their planned oil production cuts for one month, which raises questions of a possible attempt to influence the 2022 midterm elections. ***** War Room Pandemic
