This is how the new CBS keeps people from remembering that the longest serving GOP Speaker of the House ultimately went to jail for covering up child rape. Which is apparently always in season.

Marimar Martinez was shot five times by a Border Patrol agent and branded a “domestic terrorist” by DHS — all for just warning her neighbors and speaking her truth during Operation Midway Blitz. She deserves true justice and accountability from the federal government.

I'm a biographer of Trump and Musk, and wrote 5 books—several bestsellers—in which Putin is a key figure. My assessment: it's a three-way tie between these men for Most Dangerous Person Alive. No one else comes close. Stunning, given that Thiel, Altman, Karp, Luckey, Hegseth, and Xi Jinping exist.
