Melania has one foot out the door

Melania Trump is already on record saying she hates decorating for Christmas and thinks it’s a huge pain in the ass.

Jed Duggar lost hard to a Democrat in deep-red Arkansas

In what honestly comes as a surprise, 21-year-old Jed Duggar lost his very first race for public office.
