The evidence is overwhelming. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is now the Federal Bureau of Intimidation. Or more appropriately, the Federal Intimidation Bureau, whose acronym would spell out FIB, as in the Big Lie. Face it, nothing the FBI has said for the last six years since they joined with the Democratic Party to invent the Russia collusion hoax can be taken seriously....

Jill went out shopping on the island with Hunter’s wife, Melissa. Normally I don’t comment on clothes but just have to say this is pretty hideous and so age-inappropriate.

In both cases, the people do not see themselves as needy, do not want to associate with those...
