CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.

Went back to the Humber River waterfall near Old Mill again to watch the salmon run and had way more luck this time. So did ONE mighty salmon who finally made it up! 🙌 This fish about to get even more lucky. 😉

Stir fry with beef, leftover chanterelles, garlic, green onions, Jimmy Nardello sweet peppers and of course Thai hot peppers. Delicious and very spicy!

I'm sure none of this happened during Democratic administrations, right?

It's not a "theory", it's the truth. Biden also lied when he declared COVID to be "over".
