TFG Unbuttoned: DeSantis drags us back to 1947
08.02.22 | Florida Governor Rick DeSantis is upset that parents brought their children to a drag brunch in Miami club R House.

It was 113 degrees when police rescued the puppy and arrested Carbajal when his luck ran out. Finally, more and more retailers are locking up everyday goods to stop theft.
