BREAKING Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron, the President and First Lady of France, are suing Candace Owens for defamation, among other claims. It is an extraordinary, unprecedented step for a head of state to take against a citizen of another country, but Mrs. Macron has told…
I think the Left has found the Joe Rogan of the Left.
Joe Rogan: "Most people right now are working paycheck to paycheck. They’re barely getting by. Any catastrophe would eliminate all savings. Universal Basic Income would make it so you no longer have to worry about food and shelter."
Yankees will never win a World Series with Boone as manager or Volpe as starting SS.
Another error, this time by Volpe, and the Blue Jays get another run, 4-1

My last piece before maternity leave is about my journey to motherhood—and the journeys of other women for whom the road to pregnancy is far from straightforward. thefp.com/p/what-i-went-…
The amazing part I keep thinking is that if they had simply rolled with it, and started making out when the kiss cam captured them, all of this would have been avoided.

Smart phones have reduced the opportunity cost of waiting in line so lines have gotten longer for everything.
One thing in New York I will never understand is the small free things with the huge lines. You pay thousands in rent but you’re going to wait “on line” 45 mins for a free ice cream cookie?
To be clear, Acosta is not “on record” saying this. The Daily Beast reported that he told that to unnamed “Trump transition officials.” Are we to treat everything sourced to anonymous officials by the media as an on the record statement now?
