A mysterious donor covered Kavanaugh's $92,000 country club dues, $200,000 in credit card debts, and a $1.2 million mortgage.
Following these payments, Kavanaugh voted to maintain Trump's ballot presence and is postponing his trial in DC.

Surreal conversation with a III%’er neighbor, not prosecuting Trump’s ecosystem has emboldened folks. Talked about woke Generals, Trump as dictator and need for revenge on the liberals, and training for “stacking bodies like Washington would have”. These guys are coming, prepare.

Grassy water-hungry lawns really will be the death of TX. HOA's fining people who try to change will be the Grim Reaper. Frisco TX uses 177G of H2O per day/per person. Unsustainable.

Hardest things, bringing casualties into that spartan forward surgical center with the wooden tables,, waiting to hear if they made it, the ramp ceremonies if they didn’t. It struck me how young lives were lost to war and what we owed the dead, a life worth their sacrifice.
$TSLA is in trouble. A lot of global EV makers are. The competition coming from China is real.
That's why the US just increased tariffs on Chinese imports to 100%. They see the growing threat, too.

This is where we were going to end up once we blurred the lines between the military and stateside police and turned neighborhood cops into this grotesque Judge Dredd version
I cancelled my New York Times subscription this morning. I'll miss the recipes. p.s. You don't have to like Biden to dislike a newspaper fawning on a clown who wants to be a dictator.

It should be absolutely required .. but since it is considered a poll tax, we need a free national ID for everyone. And Election Day should be a national holiday.

Sorry, Patrick .. I can’t imagine the horror of constantly living our collective nightmare. I am glad the Orangeys , the greyeys, the flowers, and fruits tend your soul on a daily basis back from things that rend it. You are there for your neighbors in their worst hours. Thanks.

Jack .. women paid taxes to keep us in uniform, this is not a men’s country club. He is wrong, women need to feel safe as much as men do, while serving the country. Your personal relationships should not bias you towards condoning terrible POVs.
Love this video from Chris .. not 10 Republicans stood up for the love of country nor the sacrifices made by our friends. FBI and Garland should now launch a criminal conspiracy investigation..
Good morning, the actions of our Senators and Representatives compel me to share some thoughts.
Are they really putting country ahead of party?
Do they really care about you and me?

You sacrificed nothing, you degrade American greatness that you allude to, and you vote consistently against our freedoms to read, worship, and live differently. You are as unAmerican as they come, & you are damaging National Security, this is why we don’t need coaches in office.

Former German fighter pilots work as trainers in China. They earn “salaries that would normally be reserved for professional athletes or top executives of multinational corporations.” Are they also sharing w/ the PLA what they learned from NATO exercises?

Ted Cruz came up with a plan to make it easier for billionaires and corporations to bribe Senators.
It was wickedly irresponsible and dangerous for democracy.
