It's a bit scary when a former National Security Advisor, in this case, Michael Flynn, says that the United States has to have "one religion."

And you know which religion he's talking about since his boss used to be former President Donald Trump.

You're right. Flynn's not talking about Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, or "Irreligion" (those who do not consider themselves religious, such as agnostics and atheists).

Then again, Trump "had to" pardon Flynn after Flynn got caught lying to the FBI about his convo's with Russian diplomats.

  • Many of Flynn's cronies weren't so lucky; they didn't get a presidential pardon.
  • They are scrambling to avoid prosecution.

But Flynn's free as a bird, spreading wacky conspiracy theories and embracing equally bizarre QAnon supporters.

  • Recently, Flynn claimed that the "Deep State" plans to put COVID-19 vaccines in salad dressing.
  • According to Snopes (and common sense), this turned out to be a false claim.
  • But you may want to have your salad dressing on…
