Surviving in the South, dreaming of autumn leaves. Love getting lost in a bookstore, travel, movies, and binge watching. Fave genres are Sci-fi and history. Love my family and dog.

Patel vowed to "come after the people in the media... who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections."

Patel published a full-on "deep state" enemies list full of government officials who've criticized Trump.

Patel had his 2020 appointment for Deputy FBI Director blocked by Trump's own hand-picked Attorney General, Bill Barr (Barr later made Patel's enemies list, by the way.)
