yes. yes, yes.] i know that. right. got it. look de, grea, i know, i know it s ht to want what you can t.wednes happy wednesday, everyoneda. the heat wave continues in the east. it was so hot in washington, d.c. biden s temperature actually got into the single digitss. meanwhile, the ap claimsr at a fundraiser last week, president biden did didn t freezen didn t up on stage, butt he paused for 7 seconds. 7 okay. i guess that s another way of saying the exact same thing. the next time i go to theea supermarket to get my ice cream, i ll go to the parsed food. a new poll finds that ao to majority of hispanics h the deportation of illegal immigrants. well, that s one way to get rid of your mother-in-law. that s a recent study ranked san francisco as america s worst run city. it s bad. alcatraz is offering tourso awfu of san francisco. that was good. james carville said he d bet that trump is a no show for the upcoming debate. if carville loses the bet, he ll pay 100 buc
