There are many more, but these three films combined cover just about everything.

Well, from 2001 to 2009 Trump was a Democrat and a left-wing billionaire buddy of Epstein's. What's Vance trying to say here?

Now that I'm not toting the grandson back and forth to ASMSA I'm going to miss William's Junction. A lot. And Lucky's Cafe. Folks hanging out in those two places know everything about everyone and some of it might even be true.

Guess I need to cruise over to Russellville, grab some Whataburger, and check out those cave rentals.

Please, please, never voluntarily give a law-enforcement agent of any kind your unlocked phone.

Drive slowly there in Menifee. You know why.
