was looking up someone to interview for a story and googled him and apparently he's currently serving prison time for child pornography and child abuse. i often say i've experienced almost everything in this job, but that's the first one of these for me.

Truly the most annoying thing about a CPAP was how immediately and thoroughly I was owned by it improving my life.

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

The voters made their voice heard. And now, Adelita Grijalva is officially certified to represent Arizona’s 7th Congressional District.

It’s time for Mike Johnson to stop playing games and swear in Adelita so she can get to working for the people of AZ-07.

Here is the Vice President defending adults who said they love Hitler, want to rape their enemies, put their political opponents in gas chambers, and that Black people are monkeys. Just to name a few.

Are these those Christian values JD Vance talks about?

I'm seeing a lot of folks on here saying the Dodgers have basically all but won the World Series. Uh, last time I checked they still have to win two more games to get there. And while the odds are in their favor to do so, it ain't over till it's over.

I'm sad, and no, it's not because of the state of the world and country. I'm so tired of people assuming a person's sad day is always due to the bullshit going on. Sometimes it's just your own.
It's MY sad, dammit!!!
