So...the question is: where is Dr. Fauci? Also, is he off the hook from the words he spoke to the public, often with only a small sliver of truth to them, during the calendar years of 2020, 2021 and even 2022? On November 15, U.S. Senator Rand Paul posted to X the reply "I bet we find him." to another X post given by a parody account of Robert F.

Kamala Harris was historically one of the most do-nothing, know-nothing vice presidents that has ever served in that office in America. Example: when asked if she had ever personally visited the U.S.-Mexico border, she replied, "I've never been to Europe." This is the answer of a person whose IQ is embarrassingly low. Shame on her! And shame on the Democratic Party for pushing her on the American electorate. It's interesting to note that in areas such as the Bonanza Valley area, voters saw...
