Race Bait

For the Record

“My ancestors would have rolled over in their graves. They believed that transgender, gays, that sort of thing was all a very personal issue. They loved this country because it is a free country and people are allowed to do what they want. But it was never meant to be on a beer can and never meant to be pushed in people’s faces.” —Anheuser-Busch heir Billy Busch

“The elites often are vicious and evil. Because of their … contempt for America and her regular, normal, hard-working people, the elites have destroyed our institutions and culture. They eroded trust in government by lying and controlling, they ruined our schools and colleges by indoctrinating our youth, they turned news reporting into propaganda peddling in service to one party, and they perverted Hollywood by churning out sanctimonious social messaging. If there’s ‘systemic’ anything, remember who controls the system.” —Nate Jackson

“Biden wants a campaign about personalities, not about issues. And no personality now attracts more attention, diverting from the issues we should be debating, than our former president.” —Star Parker

And Last…
