Today’s blog, which responds to Carter’s post “Deceit and Betrayal,” was written by a thoughtful reader who prefers not to be named. I agree with their opinion, and I can’t say it any better. Carter, you have written a column accusing President Biden of “deceit and betrayal,” reporting that he had “refused to send Israel…

Trump slammed Kennedy. Biden slammed Kennedy. Kennedy told how a worm ate a piece of his brain, added he’d recovered. So we’ve got a porn-star testifying against Trump… Biden telling Israel ‘no more bombs,’ stop bombing Gaza – after Hamas slaughtered Israelis… Kennedy with a dead worm in his brain… And one is going to…

Kristi Noem’s attractive. Long brown hair. Glossy lips. A MAGA superstar on Trump’s list of picks for Vice President. Last weekend she went on Face the Nation to sell her new book – sunk herself. In her book, telling a story about meeting North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. Noem said, “I’m sure he underestimated…
