by George Rasley, CHQ Editor There’s a new player on the American political battlefield that should put fear in hearts of Washington, DC’s “uni-party” politicians – it’s called the MAGA Coalition – and its mission is to identify the obstructionists in DC and to advance the America First agenda.

I believe that is the reason we have seen such a tremendous expansion of readership in such a relatively short period of time,” she said.
