Oh no, if Bill Clinton goes down as a result of the Epstein files I’ll have to remove the Bill Clinton flag I have flying from the deck of my big ass truck.

Message to all faculty: your expertise is no longer trusted or valued at this so-called “university.”

Not sure what they’re going to teach at A&M—and why anyone would pay tens of thousands for a censored education.

I’m good! 😅🍸🐈

Recently made this fall Apple 🍎 bundt cake (sorry, family devoured too fast for pics!) and it was delicious. Definitely recommended. 👍 sallysbakingaddiction.com/glazed-apple...
