Now that Rudy’s out of the hospital and everything, is it ok to start questioning his version about how that car crash went down? Anyone seen a statement from the young woman who was the other driver involved in the crash to get her side?

If President Trump was really dead, don't you think RFK Jr. would have hacked off his head and mounted it to the roof of his car by now? You guys are sick.

It’s too early to say which surface drone (USV) was used in the sinking of the Ukrainian intelligence ship Simferopol on the Danube River, but it shows the maturing of Ru capabilities. It was a well planned and executed attack. Very sobering. Relevant Russian USVs www.hisutton.com/Russian-USVs...

A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp. Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M. An utterly cruel and costly waste.

The issue isn’t that Maxwell lied throughout her entire proffer. She has been lying, deceiving and manipulating people her entire life. I expect it from her. The issue is that the US Department of Justice gave her very tangible benefits already for those lies with more to come.
