Voting Against The Bay Area Transit Measure Is a Fatal Mistake. ("BART has actually reduced operational spending by $516 million since 2020 and capital spending by $549 million. BART refused to hire more staff and cancelled service improvements.") darrellowens.substack.com/p/…

There is NO imminent Muslim takeover, @EricLDaugh ! But the radical far-right christo-fascist takeover IS underway from heretics masquerading as "Christians." Jesus warned us: "Beware of false prophets" and "wolves in sheep's clothing." #VoteBlue2026 #VoteVBlueTexas #VoteBlueMI
🔥 BREAKING: Patriot drops straight TRUTH NUKES on national television at the Trump rally "I didn't fight for this country for 20 years so they could hand it over to a bunch of COMMUNISTS and RADICAL MUSLIMS." HE KNOWS WHAT TIME IT IS! 👏🏻 James Talarico will help usher in socialism Abdul Mohamed El Sayed will usher in Islamism and Sharia Law. This alliance is a danger to our republic. VOTING RED IS THE ONLY OPTION.
