Walz wants your daughter to have access to tampons at her school if she needs them. Vance wants to know your daughter’s menstrual cycle to see if she was up to any aborting. Let’s check the weird meter…

A bribe from Egypt before taking office, stolen national security documents, goons to attack the U.S. Capitol and 34 felonies involving porn star affair hush money. None of this garnered the four-alarm-fire coverage spent on Biden’s age. It’s a complete failure by our press.
