There's no competition. The moment the competitive difference becomes obvious, which will be in the first week of sales, right? The very first day one grocery store requires a mask and the other one doesn't,…

Alec Baldwin is in the news complaining about cancel culture. It's like a forest fire that just needs more fuel.

Not only is Joe Biden fighting for the migrant children, but he's even beating…
