-- Changing the tax code (real estate tax deduction policy) to benefit the middle class at the expense of the rich (Democrats)
-- Ending life-long prison sentences for those who did what Hunter Biden does
-- Recognizing the reality of human trafficking and the fentanyl crisis, and that a secure boarder is an important part of the solution.
-- Standing up to China and trying to return good jobs here.
-- Standing up to Boeing. Remember that?
The question isn't why we like Trump, it's why Hedges doesn't.
He’s one of the most important voices today. Also can’t believe Cornel West was denied tenure. WTF!
