Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, keeps shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma.

These guys are flailing badly. They usually have their lies fully crafted and disseminated before they make statements. Not so much for this particular invasion.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

It was great. The hockey teamโ€™s appearance made mw tear up with joy. Donโ€™t feel bad - allow the good things to make you feel good. We always need that, especially these days.
