I was shopping online for tiny bottles of champagne.... hmmm, is prosecco is better?

But I don't like champagne or wine...

I like Guinness, though, so I think I'll buy a can to store away for the day **that it happens**.

Cuz I don't drink. But I will have a drink **when it happens**...

I just listened to NPR's Book of the Day interview with Gavin Newsom talking about his memoir.....

Oh gawd such BS coming out of Gavin's mouth.

Leftists, please.... don't let this guy get nominated in 2 years for POTUS. We can do better than this self-important, bro-dude jerk.

The US Olympic Mens Hockey Team were laughing it up with Trump about having to include women in the invite to the White House.... and they drank beer with FBI Director Kash Patel.... Disgusting.

8 of the 12 Olympic gold medals won by Team USA were won by women.

An ICE agent shot and killed 23-year-old U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas almost an entire year ago and hid the shooting from the public.

It’s only now coming to light, 11 months later, due to Freedom of Information Act requests.

What else is the regime hiding from us?

What kind of crazy person wears jeans to work out? Or wear jeans to do a cold plunge in an ice bath? Or wears jeans in a sauna? And what kind of nut job drinks whole milk in a hot tub?

That's totally bawitdaba, da-bang, da-bang, diggy-diggy....

Makes me want to up jump the boogie....

Homeless communities during the Great Depression were named after then US President Hoover --"Hoovervilles"

Wow... what a sad bunch of babymen...

Wearing a suit doesn't make you a leader. A mannequin can wear a suit, my dude.
GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

The road that we live on goes to an abandoned factory -- I took a walk down to the old bridge that's been blocked off due to safety.... and I got some great shots of some graffiti. Enjoy!

One of these days we're gonna have to reckon with the fact that "money that I spend which does not directly benefit me is a waste" is a popular sentiment.

I think we should state plainly that this is selfish on its face.

And stupid when you have awareness which extends beyond your nose.
