No wonder the American people don’t trust their DEI filled government.  The FBI agent who came upon the shooter attempting to kill Trump at his golf course shot at him 6 times from 5 feet away and missed every shot.  The defense department says all the drone sightings in the east are planes or helicopters.  Nothing to see here.  There are so many stories of incompetence that one has to laugh when the left says that Trump cabinet appointees are not fit to head departments.  How much worse could they be?  We discuss all of this and more on this week’s Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.
