Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

The truth: Anas Al-Sharif was a Hamas terrorist leader who disguised himself as a journalist for the Al Jazeera network.

Shlomi Ziv, whose courage in speaking out shines a light on the dark reality of Hamas’ brutality. His testimony exposes the hypocrisy of those who hide behind titles like “journalist” and “doctor” while participating in the inhumane captivity of innocent people.

10-15% of all MLB players are using the Torpedo Bats, but I only see complaints about the Yankees using them. Give me a break.
Also, GO GO Cory Booker! He isn't up there reading the encyclopedia; he's speaking the truths everyone should listen to.
