Will Cain is a whole bitch who got wrecked in sports and had to go shake ass for racists for money
Fox News' Will Cain: "I’m sure there are very honorable law-abiding upstanding citizens and contributors from the Somali community here in the United States, BUT..."

Hey Alberta folks, they're trying to ram through high-fence captive hunting farms again via Bill 10. I just called my MLA to let him know that this is a terrible idea, and you should too. www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...
UCP gov’t legalizing farmed elk and deer hunting on ‘harvest preserves’ with Bill 10

Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."
