    He nominate AL Franken for permanent host of The Daily Show. I’d rather have him Nominated for the Democratic Party’s nominee for POTUS. Al, run for Congress! Primary Klobuchar [who threw him under a bus.]

    I’m sorry, but I disagree with Ms. McGhee. She didn’t state the source of her facts. The fact is that when you give affordable housing to blacks, they destroy it. Then the guns move in. This is a fact that I’ve seen numerous times.

    McGhee’s book “The Sum of Us” is one of the best, most informative books I’ve read in the last few years.

    I’m sure Desantis is on the hunt to ban THAT book. ” Noooo, don’t let everyone know how many pools we buried in Florida ! And Georgia says, “hold my beer””.

    Side note: she has an aura about her, that I feel when I listen to Pres. Obama.

    I certainly will get a copy of the book and check out her podcast.
