Anyone else find it strange that MAGA totally stopped screeching about eggs and the border?

It's almost as if that wasn't really the problem after all.

How surprising that Biden uses his remaining weeks as President , not to obstruct Trump or the oncoming administration or make it harder for them to commit genocide, but to pardon his son.

Linda McMahon in charge of Dept of Education? Not sure she has kids' best interest at heart.

She, along with her spouse, are accused of tolerating the sexual abuse of children by an employee of their company, World Wrestling Entertainment.

Her chief goal for education is to promote vouchers.
