Just a reminder: Mark Robinson payed for his wifeโs abortion โ before his wife was his wife.
Just another reminder that for Robinson, Trump and Vance the rule is: Do as I say, not as I do.

About $780, if I buy both from discount sellers.
Hycosan Shield, made in Germany, approx $20 on UK Amazon. OTC.
Miebo, distributed exclusively by Bausch and Lomb in the US and requiring a prescription, $800+ at Walmart in US.
I purchased from a UK pharmacy and had it shipped ...cost me just under $35 including shipping.

โThe allegations that Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts killed a neighborโs dog come several months after the same saw accusation Kristi Noem shunned as a possible VP pick.โ
Project 2025 and Trump love the doggie killing.
Trump even falsely said immigrants eat dogs! Noem famously murdered her puppy because it went on a killing spree (I thought the Guns Over People liked killing sprees?).
The right wing sees nothing odd about this. Weird.

Hope needs compassionate action. Best to be compassionate anyway.
Many self-avowed 'critical thinkers', especially on Twitter, seem to not think critically.
