The only way to restore faith is to clean out the widespread corruption
Tim alberta is a propagandist he is not a journalist. I also investigated these issues. My results are very different from what Tlim Alberta says
I also traveled throut the United States of America. I spoke to black people in the inner city, conservative rural white conservatives and large groups of people in the middle. My conversations with those groups of people were very different than what Tim Albeta says. Among the people that I spoke with, the number one complaint was corruption and fraud. We are now seeing evidence of some of the corruption with the multibillion dollar fraud with Tim Walz and the Somali community in Minnesota. I spoke with members of the Somali community in Minnesota in 2020. There were hints of fraud back then. Today we are seeing the widespread fraud that zi was hearing hints of in 2020.
Mike Pence is corrupt and incompetent
Widespread voter fraud is the threat to democracy.
Tim Alberta is a corrupt propagandist for the radical extreme left. With investigation we see documented evidence of widespread voter fraud. Mark Zuckerberg gave over 400 million dollars to pay people to create fraudulent votes. At $10 per fraudulent vote that is 40 million fraudulent votes. Even Joe Biden bragged that they had created the largest voter fraud operation in history. Believe Joe Biden whan he brags about voter fraud for Joe Biden.
Democrats kept lying about Trump being an illegitimate President due to the Russia hoax they created and perpetuated. Senators Klobachar, Harris were very concerned about the integrity of the vote in 2016. So who exactly started the stop the steal mentality?
Ted Cruz may have stuck by Trump's blowback, but Ted stuck up for himself "vote your conscience" was what he said.
This is very insightful but I would like to know where was the real insightful truth telling journalism before Donald Trump
SO THIS GUY DOESN'T LIKE AND IS AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP. big deal

Trump is reversing a booby trapped economy under a Fed chairman refusing to lower interest rates while building himself a palace at our expense
Democrats loose because nobody with working brain cells believes them anymore. Inflation wasn't transitory.
Call Trump Hitler again. You know you want to. Say Russia Russia Russia again. Wave a Ukraine or Hamas antifa antifada flag. Lol simpleton.
A looser attempting to appear emotionally convincing isn't impressive to anyone but stupid people and of course liberals fall for it every time
Everyone knows joe didn't get more votes than Obama he didn't mail in himself
J6 was a setup frame up and everyone knows it
Trump stopped about 6 wars he didn't start and democrats are crying about it
