  • Highlighting Gross Agenda

    I was really excited when I saw Nat Alliance put out a podcast. I am eager for further education. But when they brought up their approval of the physical mutilation and mental abuse of vulnerable children, their credibility was shot. However, I am glad that they offered their twisted views in episode 1, so to save me from wasting my time on this podcast.
