Upper Township – There’s not enough discussion about the Biden administration underhandedly declaring war against Russia! I want to know why!

Wildwood Crest – Spouters still see this as left versus right but so many former Trump cabinet officials, high ranking military officials, and high profile Republicans opposing Trump? Are they part of the left? No….
