That's why President Trump has held rallies all over the country with almost no protesters and very few problems, but *Minneapolis is expecting "thousands"* to cause mayhem. Way to go, Minnesota! *Right Side Broadcasting* will be live at 11:30 am. They have been banned by Youtube from broadcasting the actual rally live (fascists!), but will be outside talking to peeps and doing their usual outstanding job. Minnesota will vote for Trump in 2020 - count on it! And I want to be in the fro... more »

AT LEAST WE KNOW THAT SOMEONE IN BIDEN'S CIRCLE LIVES IN THE SAME WORLD WE DO
Joe Biden often seems like Mister Magoo. As he obliviously makes his way through our political landscape, he believes he spots opportunities for warm cross-party relationships. The rest of us, who can actually see what's going on, know that what he's seeing isn't what he thinks he's seeing. We know that every Republican we see hates us, hates Biden, hates all his fellow Democrats, and wants "the Democrat Party" to be stripped of political power nationwide. We also know that one reason this situation persists is that the mainstream media routinely blames America's political dysfuncti... more »

X-Zone Broadcast Network - Don Burleson
This week I spoke with Don Burleson, the State Director of New Mexico for MUFON. We talked about the Levelland UFO sightings and the sheriff’s role in that investigation. Don mentioned his interview with the late sheriff’s daughter, which Dr. Don Burlesonproduced some new information.

The president has indeed been busy. He has set in motion two executive orders that strike hard and fast at the actions taken by Pelosi and Schiff in August leading up to the impeachment inquiry so that they will not again (at least on his watch) use unfettered, unchecked actions to gain what they want through the laws of our country.
