  • Forcing former VP Pence to testify about the Jan 6th insurrection is good for the country, unlike banning kids from singing Dolly Parton songs or copying Gwyneth Paltrow by getting ozone gas blown up where the sun doesn't shine.

That clave rhythm that permeates music of the Americas, that Bo Diddley hambone beat that lives on in pop, rock, and US military marching.

    The worst part of that one person getting the film banned for next year is that parents were told the movie would be shown and they could choose that their child not see it. Her kid didn’t see the movie, but mom saw part of it and now has tried to make sure that no one else’s kids can see it either - ever 🤦‍♀️

      Don't let Americans learn about the 1942 USDA video *Hemp for Victory* or they'll figure out that Cannabis prohibition is fascist.
      Or maybe Americans already know that and just don't have the courage to do anything about it.
