Fauci Diaries Expose Depths of Katie and Stephen Miller’s Hypocrisy Before Katie and Stephen Miller called for Dr. Fauci’s imprisonment, they were actually on very friendly terms. The two Millers are equally despicable human beings.

Is Mitch McConnell alive? Is he awake and able to perform his duties as a Senator? I think the people of Kentucky need and deserve answers. This is yet another weakness of our institutions that needs a look and possibly reform.

Todd Blanche is not giving New Mexico’s AG information on Epstein’s Zorro Ranch? So in addition to not releasing the Epstein files as legislation required, and the felon signed himself, a state’s investigation is being hampered by the guy who’s being considered for confirmation in the senate? 🤦🏽‍♀️🖕🏾😡
