He is proud to have gotten US citizenship when he turned 18 and renounced his Colombian citizenship.

The media not covering an issue, or only touching on it and then ignoring it, is absolutely a method to control the knowledge and opinion of the population. It's soft propaganda.

I think that as fewer people get their information from mainstream media and more go to social media what we will see is flooding the social media zone with troll-info and bot-info, as well as simple distraction.

Republican Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio has introduced a bill to eliminate dual citizenship for Americans.
The "Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025” would establish that citizens of the United States "shall owe sole and exclusive allegiance to the United States," according to a text of the bill.

Introducing a bill is not the same as a fait accompli.

Thank you for my short attention span.

Just the facts.
