Today, you can choose to follow your inner adolescent and search for one of the Soros-funded “No Kings” protests cropping up wherever the number of Democrats is high and the collective IQ is low.

Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false”? The one person I can assure you did not write it is its supposed author, former president Joseph R.
