So you know the horrific story that Sen Britt told about a woman being sex trafficked? Turns out it happened 20 years ago...in Mexico. Not while Biden was President, but while GW Bush was President. https://www.tiktok.com/@katzonearth/video/7344090454985624862 https://www.tiktok.com/@katzonearth/vid...

Yes, he is.

And MTG is being her classless self as usual. Are there odds on her being named as Trump's VP candidate? He can't risk having someone there who won't do his bidding if he's elected again.

It's 9:30pm on the east coast and an 81 year old man still has yet to give an hour plus long speech. Did the NFL schedule this? Our country is so fucking dumb. How dumb is it?

One of the best Bears passing seasaons ever was a random year of Erik Kramer. I feel bad about this, considering what he's gone through in his post-playing days, but I was living in Chicago when he was with the Bears, and I always thought Kramer looked like a young Frank Burns... https://i2.wp.com/...

I read this book many years ago, written by a newbie musher who entered the Iditarod.

It's a great read. The guy was so green that he was easily the odds on favorite to die during the race.
