  • Threepete words

    Please school Sen. Cruz on how annoying the threepete words are.

    Example: “it, it, it, are, are, are, is,is, is, and it goes on and on.

    I know that’s Washington speak and all the rage but exhausting.

  • Gaslighting by Ted

    I turned here for the truth, not propaganda. MTG is no anti-Semite. I am so fed up with the GOP equivocating the questioning of our policy with Israel with antisemitism. This is what the Left does. It tries to silence through bullying. Ted, you have lost all of your credibility on this episode! Also, Matt Gates resigned from Congress because he wanted to get the AG position; you are misleading your listeners and it is intentional! I am done with verdict as of today.
