Quote I

I think the scariest costume you could put on for Halloween would be Liz Cheney. You’ll get no candy at anyone’s door,” Arizona Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Kari Lake

Quote II

“In addition to adhering to the laws of the land, our platform must be warm and welcoming to all, where you can choose your desired experience according to your preferences, just as you can choose, for example, to see movies or play video games ranging from all ages to mature.” Elon Musk, new Twitter owner

Quote III

“Cuomo is getting nasty about the ratings and he’s starting to blame everyone but himself. He’s blaming the network, staff that he personally hired, his lead-in, the promo department and even the press department!” Unnamed source probably at NewsNation

Nothing like starting the week with Paul Joseph Watson...................

I don't know what happened to Paul Pelosi. But here is a possibility.

I don't know Denise Juarez or her politics. Is she a believer in a "Livable Minimum Wage"? Did she support Joe Biden? If any of the answers is "Yes" she is responsible for a $12.00 lunch.

TikToker Denise Juarez, who uploads under the handle @franklin_thebulldog, went viral after blasting the price of a Wendy’s combo meal. The woman in the post blamed inflation for the price hike.

She says in the clip: “Just about to eat my $12 lunch from Wendy’s. I don’t know how you guys think about money but to me I always think the next amount up, so that’s $8 away from a $20 dollar bill. Why is a burger, fries, and a fountain pop almost $12? This inflation shit has got to go.”

I might have to go to the ER. My schadenboner is now on hour 8.

What is there to hide? The FBI is hiding something. What I have no idea. But why ask a judge to delay the contents of a computer for 66 years?

The FBI is asking a federal court to reverse its order that demanded the bureau to disclose information from a laptop belonging to Seth Rich. If the judge refuses, the FBI has asked for a delay of 66 years. Rich was working as a staffer for the Democratic National Committee when he was shot and killed on a Washington D.C. street in 2016. No arrests have ever been made in connection with the Rich killing.

Be careful for what you wish for.

Last year, 40-year-old Gaby Hagler and her husband Patrick started trying for a fourth and final child.

The couple share two-year-old Sammy together and both have a child from previous relationships, but hoped for one more to complete their family.

So when Gaby and 50-year-old Patrick found out they were expecting in December 2021, they were thrilled.

However, at their 12-week scan, the sonographer broke the news that they were expecting not one, but four babies.
