“The danger that nothing will happen is greater than the danger that something will happen,” he said. “If the regime does not fall this year, it will last for another 50.”

The CIA is up to something and Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat who is the longest serving member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, doesn’t like it but can’t tell us about it.

MAGA hates Alex Pretti because he's everything they claim to be but are not.

He was a good guy with a gun. He didn't parade around with assault weapons at the grocery store to be manly. He didn't even use the weapon he had. And after years of "It's not the gun, it's the person," MAGA blames Pretti for his murder simply because he had a weapon.
