We Hold These Truths To Be Self-Evident

In spite of Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell warning Russia to “quit messing around in our elections,” Russians have not stopped.  They continue their influence and propaganda.  With social media such as Facebook and Twitter taking note and making changes, Russian propagandists have turned to Word Press blogs.

  11. You know what, Bob, I have seen these things I got tired.
    There are days my spam comments is just what?

    I will check email followers and clear them. I get so many of those and I am not even famous!
