Georgia upset Portugal 2-0 in Eurocup Action

Would it be wrong to wonder how many MAGA supporters saw this and reacted “USA USA USA!”?

Florida Governorr Ron DeSantis signed a bill making it illegal to release balloons into the air because it they are bad for the environment and animals.

Not that I don’t laud any small good things Deathsantis does, but let me get this straight. Balloons are a threat to the environment, but climate change isn’t? Make it make sense.

Smoked salmon sold at Kroger & Pay Less Market recalled for listeria risk Salmon was sold in AL, AK, IL, IN, KY, LA, MI, MS, MO, OH, SC,TN, TX & WV. Mostly red states. It’s only science.

Wonder how many of the MAGAs cheering Trump’s off the cuff comments about not taxing tips actually tip their hotel housekeepers, Uber/Lyft drivers etc?
