Quick, get the Coen brothers in the phone! I’m having a vision of a sequel to “The Big Lebowski.” Donny is replaced by his sister Lauren (who is just as annoying as her late brother) and John Goodman makes a catchphrase out of _Shut the fuck up, Lauren._ ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > Larry Klayman’s Judicial Watch is suing Homeland Security because they aren’t giving us sufficient information about the Bidens’ dogs.- I support this! I want more doggie pictures, videos, stories of cute tricks, stories of the doggies’ extra training, cute outfits the doggies wear, anecdotes about the amusing things they are doing in and around the White House. I want to know what they eat. I want pictures of their food AND water bowls. I want to know what their favorite treats and toys are. I want pictures of their doggie beds and pictures of the doggies IN their beds, both asleep and awake. And when the new cat comes on board, I want all of the above re the kittycat, too. Doggiegate! Let’s uncover the coverup! BTW, if the doggies like to burrow under the covers I want pics and videos of that, too. Freedom of Information Act! ---

Charlie Kirk thinks the Supreme Court has any power to overturn Facebook’s decision to keep Individual 1 banned. The US Supreme Court should overturn the Facebook’s “Oversight Board’s” “ruling” which upholds the outlawing of the 45th President of the United States from social media. This is a big tech, corporate oligarchy without standing and it’s gone too far. Enough is enough. > ---
