Could this be meant as a distraction from the divorce and his criminal activity? Doubtful. Those who will vote for him to take Cornyn's seat are willfully ignorant and/or apathetic.

My daughter is on a junket to New York with her online peeps. She sent me this poster from the Ripped Bodice:

A poster on a wall among bookshelves. It's in glorious color with pink peonies along the bottom. The text reads 'Unattended children will be given an enthusiastic explanation of intersectional feminism.'

Newly obtained court records show it was a 'death investigation,' and they considered charging her with a crime

Listening to today's episode of Things They Don't Want You To Know and the one they call Ben questions the saying "crime doesn't pay."

I don't know if this is still true, but Tony Boucher once said the motto of the Mystery Writers of America is "Crime doesn't pay - enough."
