This past week, the 79-year-old president announced he’s ended six wars (some that have been going on for centuries), asserted that windmills drive whales insane, called for Beyoncé to be prosecuted, claimed Obama committed treason and complained a convicted pedophile “stole” teenage girls from him.

BEWARE - SCAM On 18 March I ordered a t-shirt advertised on this website with the logo "Mundus Sin Caesaribus". It was delivered on 28 April but was the wrong size and the logo is poorly done. I requested an exchange or refund but have twice been told "we are reviewing your request". What is up?

Tell me how this is promoting "efficiency"? Firing, then re-hiring, with back pay. Musk needs to be fired - he's clearly incompetent. www.usda.gov/about-usda/n...
