Musk is South African. He’s a known racist. He brought his inheritance to the US and poured it into his electric car. On the brink of failure, the US rescued him. He maintained ownership of Tesla and became wildly wealthy. Now he uses his wealth to disadvantage the masses. He’s an effing creep.

Tony Romo, CBS Sports part ways after July OWI arrest www.nytimes.com/athletic/765... This is unfortunate as I found Romo insightful. It's weird the mistakes we tolerate. I mean how many steroid cheaters work in the media? I'd give Romo a chance. I would never employ A-Rod. I could go on and on.

What’s a little lost in this is the fact that the entire trope if you will was by design, a trick meant to fool Maga America, by conflating Jack Smith’s trip to Atlanta with the villainy they’ve already assigned to Fanny Willis even bringing up her affair. Their corruption knows no bounds.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.
