Pop-Tarts coming in packages of two is awful.

1st Pop-Tart: “This is delicious, I should have these more often!”

The scumbag didn't get what he wanted, he got what he deserved. From the article:

The Supreme Court has rejected InfoWars founder Alex Jones's appeal against a $1.4 billion defamation judgment brought by families of Sandy Hook school elementary shooting victims after he called the massacre a hoax.

I believe the south side Chicago building was “full of Tren de Aragua gang members” about as much as I believe the Venezuelan boats are filled with “narcoterrotists”.

The regime will say anything to justify unreasonable, and even lethal, force.

Compliments from a three year old: “I love you more than poop. And more than butts too. That’s important to me.”

It’s the highest compliment one can receive from a child in this developmental stage.

"The first-of-its-kind study shows that the world’s biggest oil and gas companies contribute less than 1.5% to global renewable energy — contradicting industry claims to be pioneers in the energy transition."

Study: Oil companies are not ‘part of the solution’

New research in the journal Nature reveals oil and gas companies own a “marginal” share of global renewable capacity, years after claiming they would lead the energy transition.

People think politics is corrupt… all of it. And to fix it, we need to rebuild trust.

That’s why I’m running on:

- Banning stock trading by members of Congress
- Overturning Citizens United
- And not taking a dime of corporate PAC $$
