LIVE AID, THE REST OF THE STORY: What Nobody Tells You About the African Famine that Led to the Most-Watched Concert in History.

IS THIS A GREAT COUNTRY, OR WHAT? World Cup Freddy Encounters a Big Problem, but America Comes Through Again.

Freddy, the World Cup tourist from Germany, has been having the road trip of a lifetime as he and his crew drive across America.

Exit quote: “But he said they’d be back in a few days. That’s when we may see if he makes it to the White House.”

I sincerely hope Freddy’s prepared for the East German levels of doxxing he’s going to get from America’s DNC-MSM if that happens.
