As you can tell from this short thread, Korte is a pro, and some national MSM outlet ought to pick her up and get her back in print, pronto. You'd get a lot of great stories, and you'd drive Hegseth bananas.

Trump's attack on the International Criminal Court is their latest attempt to protect the war criminals Putin and Netanyahu.
There is no trusting the United States. They are on the side of war criminals and gangsters.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate:

Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.
That is how we will pay for it.
