The MAGA Right is filled with the nicest people. Less than 24 hours after the killing of Charlie Kirk, Steven Crowder changed his site from the #2 show to the #1 show on the right. The trash proving once again it’s just all about the Benjamin’s.

Don’t worry about tariffs on Brazilian products. Those new coffee farms that are about to start producing coffee in Indiana real soon. Enjoy your tax increase and that morning cup of mummy dust America. You voted for it.

As Mrs. Olsen always says, “Alabama grown coffee. It’s the richest kind!”

Karma found another address. A tree fell on a Confederate “museum” in North Carolina. It was a total loss, and the “museum” had insufficient insurance to cover the loss. Unfortunately, however, the heroic tree could not be saved.
