We're saving the planet "The Great Reset" Joe Biden will need a 50,000 Dow to get me to drink any "Prosperity Kool Aid" were over 10,000 points short burdened by inflation another 1.2 trillion down the tubes RINO's and Biden on the same team a few voices in the wilderness all targeted as "Anti-Semites"

Galloway's ultimate problem is that he is not a 'Globalist Liberal Capitalist Moderate'.
Guess that's Candace Owens problem, Thomas Massie's problem and Marjorie Taylor Greene's problem, too.
Bezalel Smotrich Israel's Finance Minister and Itamar Ben Gvir National Security Minister of Israel get the Galloway treatment from the 'Globalist Moderates'.

I support all Anti-Globalist forces all non-moderate forces in a broad sense not for violence but not for silence either"
