A young fur seal waddled into a New Zealand bar on a rainy Sunday, sparking excitement and disbelief.

The pup was showing “normal exploratory behavior” by exploring the bar, which was about a mile from the coast, a ranger said. https://wapo.st/4rBDpL9

If you want to know about the charges against Congressman Cuellar, the Democrat Trump just pardoned, here's my breakdown from when the case was indicted.

Trump's abuse of the pardon power is so destructive to the rule of law, in so many ways.

Soviet-style white-washing commenced hours ago.

"Dear comrade, you are mistaken to state we said it was 'inside job.' Never have we used words 'inside' or 'job.'"
After the DOJ press conference, I asked FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino if this DC pipe bomber was tied to the FBI.

(He's long said this was an "inside job.")

He declined to answer my question.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Reporters should *ask* these Republicans if any drugs were visible, and whether it would be at all plausible to "flip the boat," as Tom Cotton claims.

Rep Adam Smith says drugs weren't visible and that the boat was incapacitated. Are Rs saying otherwise?
