    Randy Olson|Jun 15, 2023

One such exchange is featured in the video below. This video features U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra and the unending garbage that spews from his mouth on a regular basis....

  • "Watch how I run up ramps" says Joe Biden (VIDEO)

    Randy Olson|Jun 1, 2023

    There's quite a bit to unpack from this 2 minute, 33 seconds long video, but the most telling part is at around the 1:25 mark when Joe Biden brags about how he can run up a ramp. This is strange coming from a man who is struggling with his old age. A sad, pathetic man he is. Worse is the collection of ghouls who work in the mainstream media industry in America who bend over backwards to run cover for Biden. They are some of the worst humans on the planet....

  • The unsurprising fall of Black Lives Matter (VIDEO)

    Randy Olson|May 25, 2023

    Who else out there is not surprised at the sudden and drastic fall of the Black Lives Matter movement and the BLM organization? As outlined in the video below, it was not much more than one giant, obvious scam from start to finish. The biggest question to ask now is: will the grifters who managed the BLM organization be held accountable for their financial misdeeds?...

  • Target Corporation stepped in it...and is regretting it (VIDEO)

    Randy Olson|May 25, 2023

    The message is getting loud and clear that corporations and the government should not mess with Middle America and God-fearing people in general. Target Corporation is the latest company to learn the hard way (losing over $9 billion in market share) that they need to think twice before they partner with shady organizations like GLSEN, which betrays the sacred bond of parenting in America. GLSEN recommends, among other things, that "gender ideology" be integrated into all public school classes,...

  • 'You have to behave accordingly' in the New World Order (VIDEO)

    Randy Olson|May 18, 2023

    The embodiment of total tyranny known as Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum (WEF) believes that humans need to accept the total erasure of privacy, and they need to engrain it into their personality. While lower and middle class humans are living without any semblance of privacy, the overlords we live under will continue to hide their activities, wealth and personal contacts...because it's just better that way. Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the WEF, also created the Forum of...

  • The invasion is underway (VIDEO)

    Randy Olson|May 11, 2023

    A massive invasion of illegal immigrants is underway at the United States' southern border as the criminally incompetent Biden administration has completely failed the citizens of America. In New York City, moron-in-chief Mayor Eric Adams has suspended the "Right To Shelter" rule for at least 5 days as the city is under siege from a massive, wide-open influx of illegal immigrants. The city's Right to Shelter policy had been in place since the 1970s. Americans have every right to stick their...

  • The news clipping at the end...(VIDEO)

    Randy Olson|May 11, 2023

    After getting through the horror that is outlined across numerous slides and news reels in this video below, the final piece shows that there is still good in this world. On another note that touches on what is emphasized early in this video, it's a safe bet right now that Fox News has set up its own demise. Good riddance!...
