Many calls are wrong. When the corrupt leader of the host nation involves himself in a wrong call, it’s unethical, unsportsmanlike and wrong on its face. Take the high road, play to win without the carded player and take pride in doing the right thing regardless of the outcome.

Haitian migrants in Ohio fled a dangerous country to carve out a life in the U.S. doing shit work (factories, home health care, etc) that actual "Americans" refuse to do. it's the story of our nation's immigration patterns dating back 150 years and yet b/c of their skin color, they are vilified

If so, Springfield Ohio, in deep red Clark County, will now face major ICE raids. Springfield is the cite of the "pet eating" lie.

These new leaks, along with the documents Candace leaked about White House controlling the MSM and multiple influencers after the last "assassination attempt", are a big deal. These psyops must be investigated and stopped before the midterms.

I'm gonna get this out of my system so I don't go insane: What Trump said about the pope is easily the most genuinely anti-Catholic thing any American politician has ever said in my entire lifetime, and if Obama or Biden had said it, there would literally be calls to disband the Democratic Party.
