I Was There When It Happened in New Orleans. What I Saw the Next Two Days Was Even More Surreal.

It’s like some people (in fairly powerful positions) never attended one history class. Linda McMahon has her work cut out for her.
Schmitt: "Let's just call it out. We need a cleansing here. Let's just be truthful about what's happening. This left-wing political violence is not a both sides thing. It's not."

Speaking of spending, I’m sure I saw the Oval Office recently outfitted with gold…
VARNEY: You canceled almost $8b of energy projects, most of them in blue states. Are you punishing the blue states?
CHRIS WRIGHT: We are punishing the wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars ... do you want to subsidize E-bike lanes lanes in Portlandia?
(That's not a no!)

Went to an indie pro wrestling show last night. Two friends who’d never been to one left saying “THAT WAS THE GREATEST THING I’VE SEEN IN MY LIFE!” If you have them in your area, I highly recommend
