If only 150 of my 75,000 followers chip in $20 or more, we'll pull this off and Bobby will get to the Ronald Reagan Medical Center for which he was selected at UCLA for a clinical trial to help extend his life!

Chip in $10, $20, $35, $50, $100, or more. Funds must be raised by 10/19!

If journalists and reporters have to start reporting like they’re in a 3rd world dictatorship or in a war zone so be it. If that’s what it takes to get the truth, do it. Don’t bend the knee to the regime or that jackass Hegseth. You’ll be worthless if you do.
