  • Uninformed?

    “Fascism is here, folks. We have arrived. This is no longer a cautionary tale or a fate we can avoid. We are a fascist state," Fred Wellman wrote with regard to the arrest of David Perez-Teofanic an illegal alien from Mexico who has entered the USA three times and was previously arrested in January 2024 in Fairfax County for aggravated sexual assault of a child under 13.
