Biden "follows the science," surrounds the Syrian oil fields, offers up the insulting $1400+$600 for further negotiation. Tony Blinken is a slightly more polite Pompeo.

Danny, Joe and Matt from the Boomer Death Squad ( @boomerdeathpod ) podcast join us to discuss the largely unknown history behind the Monopoly board game.

Biden is not the King of Empathy. Kamala would kill her first born for a horizontal promotion.

Stanford Medical Center gives vaccines to each and every more deserving "elite" in their ranks while 1,342 frontline medical workers are left empty handed.
