Shut Your F*cking Mouth!' Conservative Firebrand Michael Savage Nukes Black Racist' Candace Owens Over Charlie Kirk Conspiracies

Now, let's just use logic for two minutes, and I'll put to rest the lies that Candace Owens is putting out about Jews. And she's gonna wind up getting Jews killed if she keeps the sh*t up.

Do we believe in God and that he has dominion over his perfect creation of planet Earth? Do we believe that he has given us everything we need to survive as a civilization since the beginning of time? Or do you believe in man's claim of authority over the weather, based on scientists that have only been alive for decades and weren't here to witness the climate changes since the beginning of time?

Trump should be reassuring the country at this time. Instead he is sowing fear

The public response to the murder of Charlie Kirk in cold blood, has revealed how drastically our democracy our belief in the importance of free speech and in the irreplaceable life of each and every individual has deteriorated over the last half century.

And I wonder what your reporting says about his assertions that he didn't know about all this rampant speculation, over the weekend.

Why wind farms attract so much misinformation and conspiracy theory
