Radio adds here in San Diego for BUSINESS Opportunities for ground floor entry. On CONSERVATIVE RADIO!

Sounds perfectly consistent with conservatism to me.

So CA Cloward-Pivens itself to death either way. I feel for our conservatives there, and hope DJT can maneuver it back to the State of Reagan, which was undone with the judicial assassination of Prop 187.

People are smoking weed on public streets all over Oakland now. Smell was everywhere I went in downtown Oakland recently. Disgusting.

Just wait until pot smoking slobs are all around you when you are going about your daily business. It won’t seem so conservative then.

“Beer and spirit companies have warned investors that legal weed could threaten profits.”

Pizza...Peyton Manning says his pizza franchise has flourished since the advent of pot in Colorado...stimulates the appetite...
