It is hard to defend mandatory voting when this person makes up the majority of the nonvoter types.

It is quite unfortunate that these stories almost inevitably lead to the response of, "Why should these people vote to begin with if this is what they'd believe?"

The Biden dementia theory has been conclusively disproven, as has the theory that he didn’t use leverage to force Israel to accept a ceasefire (which they did multiple times). No one will ever admit they got these things wrong.

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED
