And that’s why we didn’t get any details about Cole’s activity between 12/19 and 1/5 in the affidavit or the press conference.
BREAKING on MS NOW:
Brian Cole Jr., the suspect accused of being the Jan. 6 pipe bomber, confessed to agents that he planted the bombs and has indicated he supported President Trump, according to two people familiar with his interview.

Trump proves that stopping the drug trade means nothing when there's a chance to pardon a dirty politician who made millions by helping to bring 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S.

The fundamental rift in how this document will be perceived is whether you believe America should act like a secure, confident nation that *is* strong or whether you think strength is whining about how everyone is taking advantage of you.

We don’t talk about just how many things Reagan broke nearly enough.
The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.
Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

We told you about this guy a month or so ago. Well, media is just picking up this story. Here is a piece about a guy, not a physician or a scientist or a public health professional, just a guy, Mark Blaxill. He is in a leadership position at CDC and you all should be scared.
He helped build the anti-vaccine movement. RFK Jr. just hired him.
Neither a physician nor a scientist, new CDC senior adviser Mark Blaxill claims without evidence that every child who takes vaccines is in some way injured.

ICYMI, absolutely hair-raising stuff from Rep Adam Smith here about what lawmakers learned in the latest briefing about the second strike killing two men:
“It looks like two classically shipwrecked people,” Rep Adam Smith told me, calling it “highly questionable decision that these two people on that obviously incapacitated vessel were still in any kind of fight.”

The new National Security Strategy is a propaganda document, designed to be widely read. It is also a performative suicide. Hard to think of another great power ever abdicating its influence so quickly and so publicly. It will be worth following the reactions around the world, not just in Europe.
Trump's national security strategy is out and some of the Europe sections are shocking. "...the growing influence of patriotic European parties indeed
gives cause for great optimism."
