Pritzker lives in glass house of money and hypocrisy

Pritzker lives in glass house of money and hypocrisy Illinois Governor J.B.

Voting Right or Voting Blight? Is anyone telling the truth?

Voting Right or Voting Blight? Is anyone telling the truth?

Special Column: Voting Right or Voting Blight? Is anyone telling the truth? Anyone who questions the November 2020 Presidential election vote is being banned by Social Media giants like Twitter and Facebook. But many questions remain unanswered that politicians don’t want you to consider. I blame Democrats for obfuscating the issues in order to ram through partisan…

Trump’s acquittal exposes the hypocrisy of the Far Left

Posted on February 14, 2021July 13, 2021 By Ray Hanania No Comments on Trump’s acquittal exposes the hypocrisy of the Far Left

Trump’s acquittal exposes the hypocrisy of the Far Left The lack of evidence, not cowardly Republicans, brought down the Democrat insurrection of impeachment conviction against Donald Trump. There was less evidence to prove President Trump pushed his followers to violence than evidence that exists that Democrats screaming for Trump impeachment goaded BLM protestors to violence…

How criminals become heroes in today’s screwed-up world

How criminals become heroes in today’s screwed-up world The biased mainstream news media is failing at its job to report facts. Instead of reporting facts, they are reporting half truths, and politically partisan opinions.

Posted on March 3, 2020March 3, 2020 By Ray Hanania No Comments on It’s never about who’s best in national elections

It’s never about who’s best in national elections You can pretty much tell how strong Michael Bloomberg is as a candidate against Donald Trump by all the efforts that democrats, and local liberal news media, are making to disparage him. They definitely don’t want Bloomberg to win the Democratic nomination, just like the news media doesn’t…
