Why do I consider myself to be the proudest grandpa on earth? My baby girl Sabrina Soto's baby Olivia is a preschool graduate.

A DINO means they are Democrats in name only. Their jobs are to vote with their party for issues like a Commission to investigate the US Capitol insurrection, to approve a voting rights act, and abolish the filibuster as well as to support President Biden Democratic agenda.
