  5. What’s going on in TX!!

  6. Guess that's one way to be seen first 🥇

  7. Austin….a city circling the democrat drain. When will they ever learn?

    answer? Likely never. But they will suffer the consequences of their stupid ideas.

  8. Don't they have vehicle barriers in front of hospitals for this exact reason? People going to the hospital may not be in the best condition to drive, especially those rushing to the ER.

    Looks like this driver might have died while pulling in and their foot got stuck on the gas pedal if this wasnt intentional. I've seen people almost drive in to the ER but they had barriers while bleeding out with a gunshot wound.

  9. The tires were still spinning/smoking inside the ER so they must've had their foot on the gas instead of brakes. They used to call that pedal misapplication.

  10. Thank you Lord Jesus for the gift of life and blessings to me and my family $16,120.47 weekly profit Our lord Jesus have lifted up my Life!!!🙏❤️
