Its 2025, who would thought that we in would be facing the wrath of the wealthy elite who own & control the WH, Congress & USSC because they refuse to pay their fair in taxes & provide a haven for anyone who's facing persecution, hunger or death because of their color of their skin or religion.

Obama puts on a tan suit and they lose their frigging minds.

See how that works?

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

In today’s atmosphere, it’s obvious why a book warning of totalitarian censorship would be in the American Library Association’s list of most commonly challenged books

Let me get this straight...
