You'd think this "journalist" is implying that people are going around calling reporters "piggy" and "fake news" (and worse) when the reporter asks a question they don't like. She is showcasing these very people on this sham (MAGA Theatre of the Ignorant) show bec she is one of them. #MAGAIsADisease

It's common knowledge that Putin despises the West, considering it weak.
But is he really so wrong, openly calling Western politicians "pigs", declaring revenge for the Cold War and the collapse of the USSR, which he wants to restore - and hearing endless "negotiations" in response?

The most ridiculous approach to addressing Trump's dismal poll numbers is to allow that ridiculous buffoon to recite obvious lies off a teleprompter. It will only make things worse for that incompetent cretin.

When my Oldest graduated in ‘21, his band program was down to 8 kids due to administrative decisions made when he was in 5th grade that discouraged kids from being in band.

There are now 19 kids in the high school band and 21 in junior high.

FYI Petfinder has recently changed policies for searches on out of town pets, which is drastically shifting the abilities of small rescues in Texas to move dogs out of Texas to adopters in other parts of the country. If you've adopted from a small rescue, please amplify their rescue work.
