"What about the gun in your bag?" she was asked by a customs officer.
Goodson replied: "Oh yeah, I forgot about that."
A review of Goodson's phone revealed she had searched online "can I have a gun in my suitcase?" and set a calendar entry with a note reminding her to "put gun in suitcase."

Now that Biden has pardoned his own criminal son, nobody can say ANYTHING when Trump does the same exact thing in a couple of years. Thanks Joe!

There’s got to be a German word for the situation where you order food at a cafe and you give them a fake name because your real name is unusual so you don’t want to spell it out, but then later they’re calling your fake name to pick up food and you totally forgot what fake name you gave

“…The campaign’s internal polling never had Harris ahead of Trump.” It sounds like Biden’s decisions both to run again and to stay in the race so long when his trajectory was clear dug a hole Democrats couldn’t get out of. www.huffpost.com/entry/kamala...

Audiobooks are so cool. I listened to an entire book on tape over the course of this past week while I washed dishes and did other chores. And because I used the Hoopla app through my public library, it was 100% free!

One reason Trump wants recess appointments is to avoid having Dem Senators read out quotes like this, and ask the nominee to respond

BIG NEWS: A Wyoming judge just struck down WY's abortion bans. And get this: The judge invoked a constitutional amendment codifying a right to make health care decisions... that was passed in 2012 by conservatives who thought it'd screw Obamacare! Just backfired. We explained this lawsuit here:

How Attacks Against Obamacare Turned Into Tools to Protect Abortion Access

Conservatives amended state constitutions to affirm broad rights for people to choose their health care. Now abortion rights proponents are taking them at their word.
