Trump: I won on groceries. Very simple word, groceries. Like almost, you know, who uses the word. I started using the word. The groceries. When you buy apples, when you buy bacon, when you buy eggs..

So because *other* politicians have drinking problems, somehow that's adequate justification to put one in charge of the Pentagon. Got it.

Yesterday, I interviewed three dairy safety scientists and asked a few basic questions about raw and pasteurized milk.
Drinking unpasteurized milk is “a really stupid, bad idea,” said John Lucey, the director of the Center for Dairy Research at University of Wisconsin at Madison.

RFK Jr. says he drinks raw milk. How safe is unpasteurized milk?
Raw milk can pose a serious health risk, especially for children and older adults.

The FBI wears many hats in a community. Among its long list of duties, the Bureau trains police officers, educates kids about cyber dangers, dismantles gangs, infiltrates drug networks, arrests corrupt officials, identifies terrorist cells, and catches spies.

How very far the US has fallen to put this guy in power. IMO anyone who believes Putin didn’t interfere in this election with Elon’s help doesn’t fully get what he’s capable of. The justice system has failed us all. He should have been arrested for treason. The DOJ knows it too. They are cowards.
