Yes, but only if he is prosecuted sooner than later. A decade from now or in a history of his presidency will be too late.

What, Exactly, Did Trump Say About Iran Taking Out Los Angeles? www.nytimes.com/2026/10/06/u... The Times sinks to new lows trying to rewrite Trump's invitation to Iran to decimate LA and SD. He DID NOT say "Let them try." He made these comments in NE not CA & they cheered for what they heard.

“The economists find a ‘long-run equilibrium’ in which ‘all human knowledge is ultimately destroyed.’ A more immediately realistic risk for mathematics is the collapse of its publishing model in the face of a flood of superficially plausible papers generated by LLMs.” Mathematician Michael Harris:

Too many people knew exactly what was happening . . . I would opine that Ivana Trump knew, for example. Trump and his ilk have too much to lose and have too much power--a combination that leads only to violence.

Rui Pinto, the man behind the Football Leaks website, has posted a detailed allegation about Gianni Infantino’s role in UEFA’s handling of Manchester City and PSG in 2014, citing material revealed through Football Leaks. These are Pinto’s claims, and they’re worth reading in full below.
Screenshot of a post by verified account Rui Pinto (@RuiPinto_FL), dated 30 September 2026. Pinto alleges that Gianni Infantino, while UEFA General Secretary in 2014, improperly intervened in investigations into Manchester City and PSG, sharing confidential documents and helping both clubs avoid potentially harsher sanctions. He says the details were revealed through Football Leaks and concludes that Infantino has become “a cancer on football” who should have no place in the game’s future. The post shows 2.2 million views.

As a Hawkeye I am offended that Senator Eric Schmitt could confuse Iowa with Atlanta, IA with GA with MD. He's an ignoramus who knows neither geography nor sports. And he is a butt-hole misogynist as he apparently is dismissive of women's sports. But he's MAGA so unsurprising.
