🇵🇱 Poland’s Supreme Court has approved a recount of votes in several precincts from the recent presidential election. The recount will take place in 13 electoral commissions, according to the court’s statement.

This is a BFD. Rand Paul and Tom Massie have been calling out Miller's gulag numbers for several weeks; it got them both disinvited from the White House picnic. And now Ron Johnson is joining in?

🚨BREAKING🚨 A deeply confused Donald Trump suggests Putin was president during World War II. Putin was born in 1952. FYI: The USSR’s WWII losses are estimated at around 26.6 million - not 51 million.

THE DATA ON DATA CENTERS - they are busy terra forming and transforming Loudoun County like it was a subdivision of their business, blithely ignoring the fact that we don’t want any of it, & won’t surrender our lives to some imagined “Sputnik-like” race against Russia.
