Now the nuts are claiming that "college radicalized" the shooter? He lasted one semester in Utah & dropped out -- not exactly Berkeley in 1967.

Honestly, we should all be kinder. Perhaps his ear injury is acting up after it regenerated itself lizard-style, or he suddenly developed an allergy to the ketchup used in the assassination attempt. Show some compassion, people.

If There’s One Carpetbagger All Texans Can Agree On, It’s the Fire Ant Why the insect is even more evil than you thought.

Their attacks up your legs are so meticulously coordinated you almost have to respect it. 🐜

Walking out isn't a weakness. It's the only way to stop a rigged game when the dealer is cheating. If you can’t speak for your community inside the chamber, you take the fight outside it. stopthetexassteal.com

I’m Giving My Kids a ’90s Summerβ€”the 1890s This summer, I’m letting my kids be kids. No camps or enriching activities that’ll get them into an Ivy in ten years. No screen time or YouTube or ...

"Millennials want their kids to relive their 1990s summers, but that won’t cut it, because the 1990s had technology, stranger danger, and Coolio. No, I want to go back even farther, to a decade when parents didn’t put trackers on their children’s phones and women couldn’t vote."

"At daybreak, I’ll hand my children their metal lunch pails, button their fifty-button shoes, and they’ll shuffle off to their factory jobs, because in the Gilded Age, and southern states in the 2020s, no snowflake child labor laws exist."

"Just like the 1890s and the 2020s, they’ll play with the unvaccinated kids down the street and drink raw milk until dark. Then at daybreak, I’ll hand my children their metal lunch pails, button their fifty-button shoes, and they’ll shuffle off to their factory jobs."

I've never had an affair, but aren't they typically held in a motel off the interstate? I didn't know they involved TICKETMASTER.

I wish they'd show a photo of who Bezos and Fish Lips keep waving at in Venice because I imagine it's 200 Italians giving them the finger.

A woman at the nail salon was mouthing off about the "riots" in LA & Austin so I said they were peaceful protests until the cops showed up & then we argued while immigrants painted our toenails. I should have said a riot is what you started on Black Friday when you went to buy that ugly dress.
