| by Daniel Schmid |
| For the past four years, America has suffered a "winter of discontent" thanks to the Biden administration who peddled every measure of iniquity, irrationality, and imbecility one could conceive. Everything from a denial of biological and chromosomal reality, to marshalling every federal resource to ensure Abortion, Inc. can continue its taxpayer-subsidized genocidal slaughter of innocent children in the womb, was an everyday occurrence in that cold and morally frozen season. |
