Then they should clear out. There is no point in maintaining Pentagon access, if the information is fiction.

The media outlets should invest in top-rate Investigative reporting. Their audiences will love it!

Hello #NYC. Is there anything to this so-called #OctoberSurprise that could impact #ZohranMamdani in the mayoral election?

Or is it wishful thinking on the part of The Telegraph? (Also known as "Torygraph" in the UK.)

www.telegraph.co.uk/us/comment/2...

Trump’s ‘October surprise’ has just derailed the New York mayoral race

The Israel-Hamas ceasefire could upset the election bid of current frontrunner, Zohran Mamdani

Let's go back a little further in time. This is what Richard Nixon did to win the 1968 election: www.politico.com/magazine/sto...

When a Candidate Conspired With a Foreign Power to Win An Election

It took decades to unravel Nixon’s sabotage of Vietnam peace talks. Now, the full story can be told.

Multiple airports are now announcing they will refuse to play Kristi Noem’s government-funded video blaming “Democrats” for the government shutdown.

“We believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,” one airport said.

I never heard #JackSmith speak!

#AndrewWeissmann asks long-winded "compound" soporific questions. (Maybe not to lawyers.)

Smith responds by defining the terms Weissmann used. Then lays out his answer in a clear, succinct manner. Even a layperson can understand.

Pick up some knitting & watch it.
