Trump's smart pro-Serbia, pro-Balkans' shift

Socialist Katie Wilson losing the love of her own leftist Seattle voters
Katie Wilson rode a socialist wave of promises to provide free stuff all the way to the Seattle mayoral office in 2025 -- and now, a year later, she's fending off a recall effort. Yay; go Team America.
Meet Angie Nixon, the Democrats' next nutjob candidate
It's always entertaining to watch the socialists who are running as Democrats but who are really Marxists and communists as they scream in the streets about equity and racism and oink, oink, capitalists. On the street-screaming front, Angie Nixon already has her certificate of completion.
LISTEN: Democrats are still TDS-Strong
President Trump has been a tremendous asset in terms of keeping the country from going down a path of leftist lunacy and socialist darkness. But Democrats are still infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Francesca Hong's loss is still a win for socialists
