Is this the closing argument?
Dr. Roger Marshall
@RogerMarshallMD15h
SEE FOR YOURSELF: Adam Hamilton’s church urges kids’ ministry staff to replace “boys and girls” for gender-neutral language inspired by LGBTQ+ activists. With names like “niblings” and “morning glories” — this is child grooming. Hamilton is too extreme for Kansas and a vote for him is a vote to hand our state over to the radical left. Protect Kansas values. Vote Roger Marshall. breitbart.com/politics/2026/…

Cops left the force. They kept tracking people with a powerful camera network.

Police kept access to Flock’s vast surveillance system long after they left the force. Some used it to track the locations of romantic partners.
