America's "Fake News"[2]—which buried the Hunter Biden laptop story before the 2020 elections, and skewed the results—is trying to link Donald Trump's opening rally of the 2024 election cycle in Waco, Texas to the Branch Davidian tragedy in 1993.[3]  This is absurd.

First, most Americans have never heard of that religious cult, or what happened in Waco.  Second, to the extent that Americans think of it at all, they may do so in terms of governmental abuse[4], which is rampant today.  Third, if Americans think about Waco, Texas, it may be because of Chip and Joanna Gaines and their "Fixer Upper" TV show, and their Magnolia Network's shows.[5]  Also, Baylor University is nearby, which both of the Gaines attended.[6]

Joe Biden can barely utter two complete and coherent sentences; and he avoids our great country's southern border like the plague.  And not having visited our southern border either, despite the influx of millions of illegal aliens and criminals, it's doubtful that Willie Brown's former ho Kamala Harris can find Waco either.  Both are ostensibly focused on another border; namely, the one in Ukraine, which may be a precursor of World War III—because of their ineptitude and treachery.[7]

Anyone who has never seen a Trump rally should watch this one; for example, on RSBN, which covers all of the Trump rallies, and is excellent.[8]  There is a reason why he was elected as our President in 2016, and reelected in 2020 according to his supporters.  And there is a reason why he leads in polling, despite the Left's nonstop efforts to destroy him since he began his quest for the presidency in 2015.  The enthusiasm of his supporters—of all colors, sexes and ethnicities—is unmatched by that of his opponents.
