Washington, D.C., is such a hyperpoliticized city that it is nearly impossible to govern.

Media fact-checkers self-immolated their credibility when they conspired with Biden government bureaucrats to suppress questions about the possible lab leak origins of COVID-19, the efficacy of masks and social distancing, and vaccine side effects.
