The Conservatives have had the worst election result in their history.

Most people are guilty of doing it at least once in their lives, many people do it by accident, some do it because they find it fun, and others do it for reasons like honoring loved ones.

People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Conservatives have done the United States a huge favor by explaining in detail what they’ll try to do if Donald Trump is reelected.
