Trump deserves the Noble Peace Prize for negotiating the Peace between Israel and Gaza
Do you know what Trump just proved? It’s easier to negotiate with terrorist than Democrats…..
Think about that liberals. You’re losing Big Time 💯🇺🇸
I love Smerconish because he makes me THINK! I crack up when I hear someone from the right commenting that Michael is aligned with the left… and vice versa. I listen precisely because he doesn’t push a political agenda. It’s about having a dialogue and being able to respectfully disagree.
Mannnnnnn……
Your listeners have lost their goddamn minds! They think the Trump assassination attempt was faked? LMFAOOOOOOOO The Liberals went soooooooo far left that they left reality.
These people need to go lay on a couch and talk to a therapist already! 💯🤣🤦🏻♂️🇺🇸
Lots of gaslighting lately. Not much politics either.
You were not just celebrating the aviators. Why couldn’t you speak with the caller about level of military force and capabilities maintained by the USA? That would have been a five star.
