Disgraced former deportation czar racist Greg Bovino, freshly returned from a neo-Nazi summit in Portugal, announced he's thinking of running for POTUS:

The initiative would require students who want to participate in girls' sports to provide "a health examination and consent form or other statement signed by the student's personal health care provider that verifies the student's biological sex, relying only on one or more of the following: The student's reproductive anatomy, genetic makeup, or normal endogenously produced testosterone levels."

The IDF treats Palestinians as Untermenschen
I noticed today that I never check the DR on my phone anymore. It used to be my #1 boredom blocker. In a waiting room or on the subway, it was my go to. Now with all the drop down ads and in between ads, etc. I just don't anymore, it's just not worth the trouble. It seems counter productive to me to make your site so annoying that folks give it up. Now the ads play to no one.
After vastly underqualified acting USAG Todd Blanche said the controversial "weaponization" fund to pay Jan 6 lunatics would "not be moving forward," good-for-nothing still-in-the-closet Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) noted that the aggrieved have always had a pathway for extracting lucrative settlements from the nefarious Trumpf junta, like the way treacherous PV1 Michael Flynn received a generous dollop of American taxpayer dollars after he betrayed the United States of America.
