Kid Rock is the kind of guy that prompts you to take a shower even if you only see him.
I would say that Kid Rock was a privileged hire by TPUSA because he’s white trash minor royalty, especially given the fact that he had to pre-record a bad lip synch session, but I truly believe he was the most qualified person they could get. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
Kid Rock: Nothing against Jay-Z… But it seems like there's a little bit of a DEI hire there going on.

The fact that her reaction is almost certainly opportunistic makes this more, not less, significant.
GOP Sen Lummis says she’s changed her mind after the new Epstein revelations today: “Initially my reaction to all this was, I don’t care. I don’t see what the big deal is. But now I see what the big deal is. The members of Congress who were pushing this were not wrong!”

Bannon knows too much about Trump and Epstein, so Blanche is taking very good care of him to keep him quiet just like with Maxwell. Blanche is the lynchpin- he has assumed full authority given to him by Trump to protect the worst of the worst.

Now we learned that they were in business together.

When we provide access to care for cats, we never do things halfway! Every #TNR event we hold doesn't just spay or neuter community cats, it provides the most important vaccines and any other medical care a cat may need.
Vaccination is a must in our TNR work. Key vaccines: Rabies and FVRCP.
