    Shrek and Fiona Find Luxurious New Home Near Lincoln Memorial

    John's monologue is mired deep in the slime ridden drama of the algae laden reflecting pool.

    John this time discusses JD Vance who continued his media tour - selling another theoretical ceasefire with Iran as anything but an American strategic loss of lives, time and money.
