Government Man or Man of the People

Last night was a great debate for the Trump-Vance ticket. J. D. Vance is a skilled debater and communicator. He is a serious prosecutor of the truth.

“Hail Mary” Idaho needs a J.D.Vance

Constitutional conservative Christians are being marginalized by establishment RINOs, a lap dog media, and now their sycophants in government agencies including a minority in our traditional ally—Law Enforcement.
