  • Barbara Coe Adds Another Jewel to Her Crown of Conspiracies

    ​It would take me a while to list all the vile things and views California Coalition for Immigration Reform head Barbara Coe believes, but a short list includes: Reconquista, Sikhs and Muslims deserve deportation, Obama wasn't born in the United States, Sonny Bono was murdered because he knew too much, and on and on the beat don't stop until the break of dawn. Here's the latest: Babs is urging her followers not to take any vaccines because the government is using them to kill you!In a August 1
