Clearing the Tabs July 31, 2023

Here are some things I've read so far this month or will be reading soon. A lot of people are staying at home looking for things to read, so I've broken this month into two parts again, expect a post on August 15. Also, just because I post something here does not mean I agree with it, it simply means it made me think and I think my readers might enjoy it.

This may be the stupidest take I have seen during this confirmation battle. It is just totally pointless and ridiculous.

Honestly, if Kavanaugh could drink as much as the Dems claim he did and stilll graduate high school and college at the top of his class — that’s the guy I want on the Supreme Court!
