          Civilians are being killed and injured. The wars are escalating. Yet people sleep and think it won't come to them.

          War has always been a judgment of God on an unrepentant people, and all nations will experience its effects. When will mankind learn to value what commanded?

                                                When a payment from a production company for $25,000 showed up on Kash Patel's disclosures during his confirmation hearing, we did some digging. And soon, the story began to unravel.

                                                Americans still deserve an answer to this question—especially as Patel flies around the world to party on the taxpayer's dime.

Its goal? Work with the Kremlin to steal the 2020 election."
