Black Lives Matter is not a civil rights group. It is a Marxist, communist and socialist organization posing as a force to make useful change. A major goal is to end capitalism and enact wealth redistribution. Certainly, black lives matter. All lives matter. That is one of the things that makes America unique – holding…
Does the Democrat National Committee have a plan B for its nominee for president? Probably. If not, they should. It’s evident that presumptive Democrat nominee Joe Biden is medically unfit to perform as president of the United States. Even though he is being mostly shielded from the public as he hides in the basement of…
