Republicans are howling about the Biden administration "giving" Iran $6 billion and claiming that it's been used to make weapons for Hamas which they used in their sneak attack on Israel.

Iranian MAGA
Republicans are noisy about free speech but all about oppressing statements they don't want to hear.

Drippy With Bibi
There is no law prohibiting the United States government from assassinating foreign leaders and officials.

But that order isn't enough to... Continue Reading →
