We don't need to give billions of our tax dollars to out of state vendors.
We don't need to desecrate this sacred land.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.
He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.
