Figurines of Brady Bunch and Partridge Family fighting each other

Figurines of Brady Bunch and Partridge Family fighting each other

I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.

They scream about Socialism while their roads, hospitals, and schools are basically on a Federal IV drip.

Picture someone put in charge of a country with the explicit objective of ruining it in every way possible. Now compare that to everything Trump has done and is doing and tell me how they differ.

Also worth remembering that the voters of Tennessee's 5th district have twice chosen this person as their US Representative. This tells you something important about that region (which includes significant slides of Nashville). Spend your money accordingly.

Take note of the dig at Minneapolis that appears at the end. These elitists truly hate America, most especially "fly-over country" in the midwest.

This is the man Senators who present themselves as serious human beings are going to rubber stamp into the office of Director of Homeland Security. Show some self-respect and some love of country and vote no.

Many of the same rural Albertans who constantly carp about equalization payments conveniently turn a blind eye to the extensive redistribution of tax revenues from Alberta's cities to rural areas, or sputter that that is something very different and necessary.

One thing I feel ought to be discussed more is the fact that basically all rural and suburban places in the US are subsidized by cities. They resent cities. They insult cities. They elect politicians who abuse cities. But none of them could survive without cities.

In this Miami chat, it was tradition: gripe about liberal women who refuse to date conservatives, exchange antisemitic conspiracy theories, and fantasize about murdering people of color. But now the woke mob wants to take that all away.

I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.

As long as we're opening this can of worms, how about "TEA" instead of Et3N?

Meet three scientists who said no to Epstein The warning signs included a web search, a mother’s doubts, and inklings of a β€œsexist attitude”

Many of the scientists Jeffrey Epstein courted were already well-established and well-funded. So why didn’t they all just say no? Science talked with three who did just that.

Here’s how Epstein approached them, and why they refused to have anything to do with him. ⬇️ https://scim.ag/40qbXnv

Why was Khamenei killed in an air strike? Because he became too woke.
