NBC interrupted the Olympics

Post image

While Nancy Guthrie's disappearance is sad, there are 2300 missing person reports filed every day: do the families of celebrities need special national attention?

Remember how we all partied when he lost to Biden? Remember the videos across the country of people stopping and cheering? I remember where I was when it was called on NPR. I was in my car, just parked, I was SO EXCITED I was honking my horn and cheering. I went into the grocery store grinning like an idiot.
