Anyone who wants to make a partisan issue out of which pedophiles are in the Epstein Files and which ones aren't is probably a pedophile themselves

ARREST

PEDOPHILE

Thank you did your attention to this matter

I have three things to say to everyone who keeps repeating the claim that the Dems are trying to fund healthcare for illegals

1) Google is free
2) You might be too lazy to look at the actual proposals but millions of Americans aren't
3) Lying is bad

Have the day you deserve

I would like to thank President Trump, Majority Leader Thune, and Speaker Johnson for the fact that my health insurance is going up $300 per month next year

I was reading through "The Art of the Deal" last night and I could not find the part where it talked about telling your opposition to capitulate rather than negotiate with them

I wonder if there's a lesson here 🤔

Someone told me that if one starts on any Wikipedia page and keeps clicking on the first link, it will eventually lead to their philosophy page

I didn't think it was true until I tried it a few times. 8 tries. 8 trips to the philosophy page

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that this coming weekend will be much better for #Detroit sports fans than last weekend was

My thanks to the Detroit Tigers for a fantastic season. We have a couple of things to work on in the off-season and spring training (mostly hitting) but we are in an awesome place to build for next year

And let me be the first to say it: Detroit Tigers, your 2026 World Series Champions

🧡⚾💙

15 innings. One of the best games in a long time

Congratulations to the Seattle Mariners, their entire organization, and an amazing group of fans

Best of luck in Toronto from a Tigers fan

💙⚾🧡

The Tigers v Mariners game is now in the 12th. Game 5 of the ALDS

If I die of a heart attack while watching this game, it'll be worth it as long as the Tigers win

🧡⚾💙

Today is a good day to celebrate my 104th birthday. Because while having birthdays may be inevitable, there's no law saying you have to celebrate them in chronological order 😎

There's a special kind of satisfaction that one gets by extracting the email address of everyone who has spammed your business in the past year and then selling their email address to another list broker

DC statehood is now an imperative. No more dicking around. Next Dem majority, get it done immediately.

There's a rumor on the internet that Sydney Sweeney will be the new Bond girl. As someone who has read all of Ian Fleming's novels and seen every James Bond movie at least twice, I'd like to say HECK YES! to the idea of Sydney Sweeney as a Bond girl 🎥

The thing about CBS announcing now that it will cancel the Late Show in May is that, for the next few months, Stephen Colbert can take the gloves off like never before

I suspect things are about to get interesting

If the Dems regain the majority in both houses, I don't ever want to hear another member of "leadership" say we couldn't get such and such bill passed through Congress

The GOP has shown what can be done legislatively - even when you have a slim majority; even if your policies are unpopular

Someone told me that - as of today - we are closer to the year 2050 than we are to 2000

Yes, this does make me feel old and, yes, I am telling you this because misery really does love company ⏳

Can I interest anyone in some free firewood?

Just so we're clear, if someone tells you that they need a certain government program to live, and your response to that program being cut is "well, we're all going to die" then you should never, ever call yourself a Christian

I really wish this wasn't a reaction to something that actually happened
