From an acquaintance in central Arkansas.

Good thing the East Wing didn't contain a statue of a white supremacist traitor who made war on the US in order to preserve slavery. Removing one of those would really upset Republicans.

72 years ago today. Tonight we will celebrate with a small family gathering in the home that my in-laws still live in together. #lifegoals

This is Gretel. Her ears function independently.

What actor's expression in a movie will stay with you the rest of your life?
