I’D PUT IT DOWN LIKE THE MAD DOG IT IS:  If ‘Our’ BBC really belonged to me, I’d flog it.

A DROP OF TRUTH WOULD KILL HER:  Lie-a-Watha Strikes Again! Elizabeth Warren Doesn’t Tell the Truth About Tesla Paying Taxes.

DUNNING-KRUGER’S REVENGE:  Gavin Newsom Is Getting Dragged for Not Knowing What Illiterate Means…and It’s Pretty Funny.

I’m afraid he did more evil than good. And yet may the Lord have mercy on his soul.

WHEN OBAMA OPENS HIS MOUTH:  Alien Nation.
