This is not news. MSM knew he was snake before you let him in. 🙄

No one in MLB wears #42 anymore—except today, when everyone does. That’s how baseball honors Jackie Robinson. The Pentagon honored him differently: by erasing his WWII service as a 2nd Lieutenant from its website.

I think I’m right

Great question.

Here's a lawsuit I hope we'll see more like--fr Liberty Justice Center & Ilya Somin on behalf of 5 small businesses reliant on imports: wine importer, plastic pipe co, an electronic kit co, a fishing tackle co, & a woman's cycling apparel co. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The divergence here from two companies with *very* similar customer bases is pretty wild, you do not see this sort of thing happen at scale very often.

I'm sitting here with a bowl of Kirkland ice cream. And last week I went to two different stores to get stuff I could have gotten with a single Target run.

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.
