Apparently Joe Biden can’t get speaking gigs because companies are afraid of retribution from Trump if they hire him. The fact that he cannot complete a sentence has nothing to do with it. www.wsj.com/politics/bid...

CNN’s Dana Bash just decried the removal of Kamala’s SS detail especially because she is a woman and a person of color. And security is expensive. She can use the $20 million from the deal for a book that no one will read to pay for security.

Chicago cops spend a lot on overtime. Perhaps it’s because they police a city whose mayor doesn’t support them and just dealt with 8 years with Kim Foxx as the state’s attorney. Chasing the same perps over and over again is not a justice system. www.fox32chicago.com/news/cpd-202...
