ReplyDeleteWe are daily regaled with news of low ammo stocks and never once has "COVID-19: Industrial Mobilization and Defense Production Act" passed through Biden's lips. Must not be a priority.
If you were a Chinese leader what would you think?
Democrats are the death of America and the world.
Why talk to the "there can be no peace talks" spoiler nation?
