STOP BEATING AROUND THE BUSH, KURT. TELL US WHAT YOU REALLY THINK. Kurt Schlichter: Our Lying Garbage Media Is Lying Garbage, But You Knew That. “They hate you, so feel free to hate them back. The MSM was not infuriated with Donald Trump when he called these hack transcriptionists for the liberal elite ‘the enemy of the people’ because he was lying. The MSM was not infuriated with Donald Trump because he was telling the truth.”

UGH, NAIL MELANOMA. Beauty queen uses platform to shine light on nail melanoma risks. “When former Miss Illinois, Karolina Jasko, found herself with what she thought was an infected thumbnail, she went to her doctor to get it checked out and possibly saved her thumb – and maybe her life.”
