We have real enemies and no small number of them. https://crusadergal.substack.com/p/we-must-acknowledge-our-enemies

The Biden Regime just announced the creation of the “American Climate Corps”. It will further aggravate race-based divisions, and target youths for ideological training, while disfavoring any constructive efforts to change our societal trajectory. https://crusadergal.substack.com/p/a-doomed-solution-to-a-faux-problem
