The pardons Trump is handing out are a huge, growing scandal that not enough people are talking about. This is a money making operation - for for Trump, his family, his crypto pals, and the Trump-affiliated lobbyists and grifters who the pardon seekers pay.

Tonight I made a Turkey Pot Pie that was, without a doubt, the single most flavorful thing I have ever eaten. And while I should be filled with joy, I feel only a deep sadness, as I know that I will never top this culinary mountain.

Fox News credulously reports that "the Saudis now say their investment pledge in the US will be increased to $1 trillion." THE ENTIRE GDP OF SAUDI ARABIA IS $1.1 TRILLION, so this is total nonsense.

Lots of great non-Starbucks options for your coffee! Pay them a visit until the greedy Starbucks owners decide to treat their workers with dignity.
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
