The Olympic summer games in Paris are less three weeks away and with all that's going on this might be the break we all need before we head into the fall election..."The Games" --we will see triumphs, setbacks, and of course all those back stories that are way too long.....My favorite moment despite all the great stories of the athletes is seeing the America flag hoisted and hearing the Star-spangled Banner played... It always brings a huge pride that is indescribable and just a damn good feeling...GO TEAM USA!!🥲
Would love to hear your favorite moment from the Olympic games... Past, present, future...Share on!!!
Send help......and a storage unit. He kept the m'fer a secret. Maybe I should come home with a pair of $1000 shoes.
Congratulation to @SGKusmertz, @bek1, and @wilbner. Your questions were chosen for tonight’s Ask Joe and the Panelists.
@SGKusmertz If you could have one song play when you enter a room, what would it be?
@bek1 Do you usually feel excited or stressed out about going back to school after summer break?
@wilbner What was the best prank you’ve ever pulled?
Politicians go visit a school

One of them asks the leader, baffled:
Are you mad?
We just cut costs in schools and preschools, and now you do this?
My friend! We will never go to school or preschool again.
But we can still easily end up here...

The agreement established the border along the 49th parallel, stretching from the Lake of the Woods in Minnesota all the way to the Rocky Mountains.
It also arranged for joint occupation of the Oregon Country for ten years, ...
