    Hi Stephen A., this is Gavin. Why in the world was Donald Trump in the FOX booth earlier? We are in a shutdown! People are struggling! He just cares about himself! Trump and Vance do not understand the average American right now. A lot of middle and lower income families are hurting right now and they keep having a soft spot for billionaires.

  • Why give attention to frauds

    I get SA wants to be Mr “I am neutral and want everyone’s opinions” however when you know a person is a fraud and a child molestor - why give them any type of credibility. Case in point Cuomo! You are disappointing sometimes however I know you are on no one’s team you are team SA.
