Yet the ostensible Catholic who currently occupies the Oval Office not only supports this horror but had the gall to…Tyler O’Neil -

Congressional Hearings About Team Biden Die in Liberal Media Darkness
The easiest layup in proving the “mainstream media” is hyperpartisan is to study how they cover congressional hearings. After two years of obsessive media promotion and congratulation and live coverage of the Pelosi-picked panel on Jan. 6, the network “newscasts” can’t locate a hearing now with two hands. On March 1, the Senate Judiciary Committee…Tim Graham -

First of three articles on wildlife trends in America.
