I hope the president of the United States enjoyed his taxpayer-funded round of golf today.


While these two fight over their big mistakes let’s make sure Alabama doesn’t make one with either Sessions or a former football coach. I could sure use your help folks!— Doug Jones

To the families of the fallen women and men who have died for this land we love: we thank you and honor your loss by continuing the fight for liberty, justice, and freedom each and every day.

Guess who’s out golfing to celebrate his 100,000 dead Americans milestone?

Wow. From North Dakota's GOP governor: “If someone is wearing a mask, they’re not doing it to represent what political party they’re in or what candidates they support. They might be doing it because they have a 5-year-old child who’s been going through cancer treatments.”

Trump’s at Virginia golf club. Birx repeatedly warned 3 areas in US with highest % of positive coronavirus cases are *MD, DC, VA.* “This is so you can all make your decisions about going outside...potentially playing golf if you're very careful and you don't touch the flags.”
