KENTUCKY p....fully agree 100% America is under attack and everyone's family safety is at risk due to Biden/Harris, and most Democrats purposefully importing millions of who knows who from who knows where. Democrats are sacrificing citizen lives to bring in new voters so they can have more power. HARRIS and BIDEN have been running us toward Communist type leadership and ending us. Let the Marines and National Guard clean this mess up. Let it be a dark spot on history if they want to call it that. It's needed and I'm good with it. SEMPER FI USA

[@anniejones1692]

Well I will add Clay Higgins with Josh Hawley, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Mike Johnson for staying honest in our democracy. To keeping America informed on government, congress, who is right, who is wrong, on who is evil or wicked. They will work to keep America informed of what we need to know. We can’t trust the media, but it’s good to know someone is working on our behalf.

[@jasondorsey7110]

Mike Johnson...I do believe his intentions are good, but he doesn't seem to have the strength of character to stand up to the global establishment behind the "America Last" agenda...right now, we need heroes, not backroom deals
