  • Proof that the Biden DOJ is not only corrupt but is pure evil

    December 19, 2024

    Proof that the Biden DOJ is not only corrupt but is pure evil

    Biden’s DOJ is still, to this day, arresting and charging people who were in D.C. on January 6, 2021. They are charged by far left prosecutors, tried before far left judges, and D.C. juries convict them almost without deliberation.  Hundre...

    What is wrong with California? Everything. Especially Adam Schiff
