Lawson June 28, 2024 How can it be that Joe Biden, a man running for President of the United States, during a nationally televised debate, peddled the same seven-year-old blatant misinformation and character assassination that has been fact-checked countless times and proven out of context to the point of being deliberately dishonest? During […]| Brass Tacks Politics
