## Resource

Former President Obama wants a “loyal” Republican Party… whatever that means! Also, the war with Iran is still on, and the administration is finding the most childish, inane ways possible to dodge responsibility and continue to hold the world hostage with this pointless conflict. Another Kash Patel story has hit the timeline, this time about his personalized bottles of whiskey, Kamala Harris has called for the release of the DNC autopsy, and Mallory McMorrow backed out of another interview.
