Federal Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino and agents said to be leaving Chicago, sources say
Cmdr. Gregory Bovino was expected to depart Chicago within days, while most Border Patrol agents under this command would soon be redeployed elsewhere, three sources told the Tribune Monday.

This is one of the few lies you can't make stick. People know that gas, food, ect cost more, they are constantly confronted with it

Canucks: Is Quinn Hughes worth a $17 million salary?
Way back in 1970, it cost the original ownership of the Vancouver Canucks a $6 million expansion fee to get the franchise up and running. Now, some 55 years later, it could cost the team more than double that to keep their franchise player in the fold. We’re talking, of course, about captain Quinn…

He's right, your whole population should be receiving "some type of free government healthcare"
Comer: "This is a fake economy. You can't have 1/3 of America receiving some type of free government healthcare and then have another 1/3 that's getting a subsidized rate. That falls on the final 1/3 that's having to pay increased premiums."
