Mr Lyle says he can scratch out any Trump nominee eyes if you give treats.

Also, if his handsomeness makes anyone feel better, please enjoy.
At least the man in charge of health in the US has his ferments?
During freezing temperatures in Port Arthur, Texas, a 61-year-old homeless man was found dead in his wheelchair outside a convenience store.

He was wearing a hospital gown and no shoes. Authorities say he had been released from a hospital the previous day.

This is a diseased society.

SCOOP: Immigration courts rapidly scheduled and rescheduled Somali asylum seekers to have hearings suddenly within the next four weeks.
The move could fast-track their deportation and limit due process, multiple lawyers with over 100 cases affected tell me.

This is the bigger problem for Sarwar than Starmer being in post - nobody knows who he is. (Quite apart from him flipflopping as much as Starmer of course)

I disagree with Congressman Gonzales that 5-year-old American citizen children are helped in any way by their kindergarten classmates being kisbnapped and disappeared by marked, armed thugs.
Gonzales on Liam Ramos and his family: "They're not gonna qualify for asylum. So what do you do with all the people that go through the process and do not qualify for asylum? You deport them. I understand that 5-year-old and it breaks my heart. I also think, what about that 5-year-old US citizen?"

"Sure, my heart breaks for this five-year-old, but that's valuable time my heart could spend breaking for five-year-olds killed in school mass shootings. This is stuff I just can't sort."

Most people can go their entire lives without realizing they're intersex. So Colin wants someone born and raised female to suddenly abandon her entire identity in her twenties when they get a chromosome test for sports despite having female genitalia as well?

None of this makes any sense.
