                                            Against Illegal Immigration, but Married to Someone Here Illegally
Chris Allred's views were shaped by economic changes. Now, facing an immigration crackdown, where do he and his wife go from here?
                                                
    
    
    
    
            I think youβll find his views are actually shaped by a shocking level of self-absorption and a lack of regard for others.
Heβs against illegal immigration, which he blames it for his familyβs ills, but married to an illegal immigrant he believes God sent to him.

                Epstein's accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell is ready to reveal client list
                'Despite the rumors, Ghislaine was never offered any kind of plea deal. She would be more than happy to sit before Congress and tell her story,' sources tell the Daily Mail.
            
        
    
    
            If Trump has nothing to hide, why are Republicans blocking the person with all the receipts from testifying before Congress? Is AG Blondi going to interfere with Maxwellβs SCOTUS litigation? Are Bongino & Patel hiding something, too? Just asking questionsβ¦

                Why MAGA Hates Superman
                He stands for truth, justice, and an American way that Trump is tearing down
            
        
    
    
            Fox News is mad at Superman and director James Gunn, denouncing them as "woke."
Of course they are. Superman stands for truth, justice, and an American way Trump is tearing down. He's both alien and American, and helps others without demanding praise. He embodies the values MAGA hates.
