I would like to propose a new federal law, that makes it illegal for college football kickoffs at the same time, they should be staggered by 5-10 mins, so I'm not subjected to halftime shows on every channel.

Christa Pike was administered two doses of the "cocktail" the State of Tennessee uses to execute death row inmates. She is still alive. If this isn't cruel and unusual punishment at this point, then I don't know what is.

Eric Schmitt is a prime example of why I’m a FORMER Republican and will always remain so unless there is a wholesale cleaning of house and reinvention of that political party. It isn’t even a real political party anymore. Merely a cult of personality. Disgusting, immoral behavior.

In a normal administration counterintelligence agents at the FBI would be investigating this photo. In this administration, the FBI director is in the photo.
Michael Weiss: Why, that’s Ali Abdelaziz is on the far left. Manages a lot of Russian, Belarusian and Chechen MMA fighters including Khamzat Chimaev, who is close to Kadyrov. Abdelaziz was an FBI informant until the Bureau dropped him because they suspected he was a double agent. Looks like Ka$h (far right) has forgiven and forgotten. These MAGA weddings are Mos Eisley cantinas for counterintelligence.
