This isn’t a “sale”. Israel purchases these weapons with a fund created with U.S. taxpayer dollars. Biden/Harris blocked these 2000-pound bombs from going to Israel. Congress can block this “sale.” VOTE. www.nbcwashington.com/news/nationa...

On this I cannot disagree. Mainstream media and legacy media have been bought and paid for and are willing turning a blind eye to an obvious coverup. No one is willing to go to the hospital and find out the truth? Shameful.

That is 6% of Texas voters. That is HUGE.

I hope folks who care about voting spend some of their energy trying to help Texans who are being disenfranchised.

Texans, please check your own voter registration, and help those you love check theirs. 👇🏽

Texans check your voter registration, especially those in Dallas, Collin, Denton, and Tarrant counties.

From the article:
Suspended voter registrations span the whole state, but these Blue/Blue leaning counties are targets:
Dallas: +129,000
Collin: 56,000
Denton: 56,000
Tarrant: + 73,000

Texas has suspended over 1.2 million voter registrations. Many valid voters in Texas have found their voter registrations were somehow canceled when they checked. Check your registration here and fix it immediately - Texas doesn't always honor provisional ballots cast on election day.

This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops.

But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents.

I’m heading to Danbury.

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on - if your position is that the president of the United States and his family should be immune from IRS scrutiny, you’re unqualified to be the Attorney General.
