A nuclear attack? A massive 100-car-pile-up? Fugitives on the loose?
Nope, just the president on a hasty trip to Virginia Beach to rant about how the GOP wants to slash spending on health care.
The Biden administration isn’t attempting to “forgive" student loans. What Biden wants to do is transfer that debt to taxpayers. It’s a naked attempt to pander to younger voters by wiping out their college loans. Whether they need help or not. Freebies!

I’ve written about this breed so many times that I know exactly what’s coming: My mailbox will fill with photos of toddlers cuddling with pit bulls, there will be threats of violence against me, and accusations of racism - as if saying some dog breeds have more of a propensity for fighting and biting than others is the same as being prejudiced against PEOPLE of a different race.

This knuckle-dragging CNN knob-turner turned to Google to research the “prime” age for women. He learned that we’re washed up once we hit 50. And Nikki Haley is a decrepit 51.
If you can name one quality - other than his sexuality - that Pete Buttigieg possesses to make him qualified to handle our country’s complicated transportation issues, let me know.
The East Lansing shooter was arrested in 2019 on felony charges that he was carrying a concealed weapon without a permit. If convicted he would have gone to prison.
