Candace Owens, formally of the Daily Wire, told her viewers that she has ditched the cult of science because it's a pagan faith.

ProPublica just released an interview with President Biden conducted by former CNN White House correspondent John Harwood on Sept. 29th, nine days before the Hur interviews began. The outlet reports that Biden did not send questions to the White House beforehand. Additionally, the President did not seek approval for topics discussed during the interview.

They have reclassified bribes as "gratuities," gutted environmental and consumer protectionism, and basically tried to give Trump carte blanche for his high crimes and misdemeanors.

I hope Bannon is eating sh*t on a shingle.
