Rarely, what is it Matthew McConaughey said, the time to drink is “before it’s too late.”
@LauraIngraham wearing essentials. I get it. Something to do with this PPE? https://wordpress.com/block-editor/post/johnrubens.wordpress.com/27209 In the old days, we couldn’t understand some of the controversial lyrics but only the song’s chorus, and on the transistor radio, sometimes no more than the song title.

CHAD, County Sheriff of San Bernardino Co. gets my virtual vote. Although Protestants have personality, Catholics seem to be more DOGE-LIKE. Charity is more rampant at #PepperdineCaruso.
