Pritzker for fueling lawlessness, ignoring federal statutes, and turning moral cowardice into political currency. He warns of the radical left’s march toward socialism, embodied by figures like Zohran Mamdani, and makes the case that unchecked ideology always ends the same way — with chaos and control.This isn’t nostalgia or fear-mongering — it’s a reality check from one of America’s most seasoned truth-tellers, connecting the dots between history’s monsters and today’s moral drift.If you care about freedom, accountability, and the fight for America’s soul — don’t miss this one.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
