You probably have something mechanically wrong with the hinge or the door isn't hung properly. I had one do that and after some googling I found out I had a bent hinge "ear". Once I re-aligned it all, no more squeaks....

Thoughts on college protesters

Posted by NASA_ISS_Tiger on 5/3/24 at 8:00 am
These college protesters are likely the same people who want student loan forgiveness.

Hey Joe...got a secret for you too....HE'S UNION! That's right little demoncrats...your union stronghold isn't so strong now. Lots of UAW workers will defect and vote for Trump. Biden is hurting their bottom line...the union leadership will still support Biden, but not the rank and file....
