Salt City Sinner

posted on 4/9/2015 by the Salt City Sinner Joseph Farah, the Grand Wizard of Christian white nationalist web tabloid WND, is many things. A braggart , a hypocritical and paranoid conspiracy theorist, a self-proclaimed prophet , a “former left-wing radical,” take your pick.

Via KSL : FARR WEST -- A fire official says medical emergencies at an Internal Revenue Service building in Ogden were coincidental to the discovery of the suspicious substance there Monday. The crews arrived sometime after 11 a.m. at 1973 N. Rulon White Blvd. Shades of Austin? It's probably too soon to tell, but it will be interesting to see what the full story is. Kids: pay your taxes.
