“Today, (August 8, 2022) the FBI flew agents from Washington, D.C. to advance the bureau’s years-long campaign to take down President Trump. Bill and Hillary Clinton took $28,000 worth of furnishings from the White House, and Obama violated the Presidential Records Act. Yet the FBI did not raid their homes. This is a political witch hunt, and partisan federal prosecutions will only increase now that the Democrats just voted to give the IRS 87,000 more agents. If the DOJ can target President Trump, imagine what they will do to anyone who dar...

The thunderstorm that popped up on Sunday afternoon also brought some wind with it for there was branches and limbs all over the place after it was over and it...
