Good work Deplorable Kel. In Texas in my 24th District I have the honor of supporting Beth van Duyne since useless Marchant is retiring (his pension must have kicked in). She is the ex-mayor of Irving, Texas and served President Trump in HUD under Ben Carson. She made the papers as the mayor of Irving and essentially told “clock boy” and his family to STFU so they left town. She is a rock solid Conservative! Dan Crenshaw is in her corner. Check her out at I’m as Deplorable as they come!

Dalia Al-Aqidi was an advisor to American Forces in Baghdad back in ’08. Her slogan is some like “It will take a Muslim woman to beat a Muslim woman. She is a (rare) appreciative refugee. She was a speaker at C PAC. i encourage all to watch her vids. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4d5mtvtKiac. I served multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, some Muslim want to leave the Dark Ages. Churchill said, “I have met some splendid mohamdists but Islam is a retrograde religion.’ Dalia Al-Aqidi is splendid. I was assigned brave Iraq Muslim interpreters who risked their lives for our cause.

The muslims have had this planned out since 1928 when the muslim Brotherhood first arrived here in the US. They’re very patient can will wait to achieve their goals of taking over our Country. They’re not here to get along, we Infidels have two choices, convert or die! That’s it!
Gaddafi told told us years ago how they were going to infiltrate and take over without a shot being fired. They are allowed 4 wives, each wife has 4-6 children‼️ It’s demographics compared to non-muslims who have 2 children.
That’s why every red blooded American has to be vigilant and vote in EVERY election RED/Republican.
