However, sometimes we must stop and remind ourselves that the grass is always greener in someone else's yard.

As there are plenty of people all over the world who wish they were living in the USA, believing that some things are simply done better in America.

George Conway Uses Resurfaced RFK Jr. Post To Drag Him After Bizarre Dead Bear Story

Conservative attorney George Conway used an old post on X, formerly Twitter, to mock Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is facing heavy criticism after admitting that in 2014 he found a dead bear cub on the road and then bizarrely placed it in New York City's Central Park to make it look like it had been hit by a bicycle.

Kennedy revealed to MAGA actor Roseanne Barr that he and some friends were responsible for dumping the bear cub after finding it dead. He said "people were drinking with me who thought [it] was a good idea" to stage an accident. He claimed the idea came to him at the time because he was running late for another engagement.
