Joe Biden is going to attempt a conversation with Putin today. The Left wants to cancel Charles Barkley over big ol' San Antonio women, and we're not going to let them! The government is coming to tax your weed, and we explain why. Also, liberals want to decriminalize crime AND crime is going up? Imagine that!
