Mull this over. They’re holding “No Kings” protests in England. Think about it…

This is what ABS is all about…

Stephen A. Smith: "You got a lot of d*mn nerves to say for numerous admins, 'Iran is a problem. They have to be dealt with.' & then Trump deals with them. & then all of a sudden you're complaining about him now. It doesn't really make sense."

Going to be tough to top this call that had to be overturned by ABS…

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed after a 72 day filibuster. After only 6 days on the Senate floor opposing the Save America Act, Democrats are already looking for an exit.

The Transportation Security Administration is funded in large part by a $5.60 fee on every one-way ticket, $11.20 roundtrip, even on reward travel. That money goes to the Treasury. The funding is there. Pay the agents. The rest is political theater.

Bill Maher on requiring voter I.D.: “83% of independents, 71% of Democrats, and 76% of black voters are okay with this.” CNN contributor Paul Begala: “Democrats should agree to voter I.D. period... It’s not some racist thing. It’s not. So they ought to do that.”

Senator John Husted heard Chuck Schumer say, “Our objection as Democrats is not to photo ID.” So he gave Senate Democrats a chance to prove it—by bringing a simple voter ID requirement bill to the floor. They blocked it…

Imagine grinding for 40 years, finally paying off your house, ready to enjoy it… and then getting lectured that you’re “hoarding housing” by a millennial urbanist who learned everything they know from a few TikToks.

Ryan Gosling has great chemistry with both stones and rocks…

To everyone who says “characters in helmets can’t emote, so you can’t connect with them,” let me introduce you to a faceless rock that had me sitting in a dark theater, absolutely wrecked...
