It was actually cool enough to drive in this morning with the windows down. Rainy, of course.

Unril they decide on a name, though youd have rhought that would have been figured out well in advance.

Methinks they are milking it.

I'm hoping that enough conservatives were in a swivet to tell Bret Baer that leftwing lesbian shill Sally Kohn should NEVER again be on the panel. i was outraged and she was AWFUL! the furthest left person he has ever had on there and it better be a one time only thing! it seemed to me that Charles was exercised at having to refute every one of her leftwing talking points. I can't recall the name of the black WSJ reporter that was on, and i think he was on with Paul Gigot over the weekend. he is FANTASTIC, i love him.

I read that she’s been hired on by Fox, so look forward to more.

xshub’s IT guy and his wife were unable to agree on a name and the baby boy was two days in the hospital sans name. Literally as they were about to leave the hospital they settled on his name so it would be put on the birth certificate. the name— Maverick. They also had 9 mo to decide, i don’t think the royals are milking it.

She has been a fox contributor for some time, but never on the panel. if there’s enough pushback, hopefully Bret won’t ask her back. Jonah and others on twitter were equally appalled.

That would be the wise rhing to do. Especially since they change the name lwhen they ascend the throne.
