Where is the outrage my friends. Now my name is swindler but they sure know how to swindle
Early morning air-waves this AM full of noise about the Wise Latina/White Male comment–that, and the 40th anniversary of the lunar landing. Not a peep that I could find about the CIA’s secret assassination program.
