The Left may control society today, but men like us are turning the tide. We are first so we will take the arrows, but we are paving the way for those who come after us. My brother in Christ, do not be afraid.

Agriculture Energy Petroleum Pricing

President Trump has done a deal with Russia to increase fuel supplies and help bring down fuel prices for Americans. Why won't our government consider doing the same? Australian families are struggling. Businesses, farmers and truck drivers are being hammered by fuel costs. Yet our political class seems more interested in pleasing globalists than looking after Australians right here at home. Isn't their job to put Australia first? If buying Russian fuel can lower prices for Australians, we should do a deal. Enough is enough. AUSTRALIA FIRST! 🇦🇺
