Hey, Nice Try With the #DemandAVote Spambots #p2! Jacked and Busted! #tcot

Why does the Left hate us so much? Mainly because we’re red-blooded, patriotic, God-fearing Americans, but also because we keep messing up their narratives.

Rule 5 and Immigration Policy

Years ago, I propounded Rule 5 — “Everybody Loves a Pretty Girl” — as one of the secrets of blogging success.
