There are NEW updates in the case of the Cornell 7 as more details are revealed, including how the alleged victim stated “with 100% confidence [she] was raped”. So why did the local DA only present certain parts of her written statement? I've got the latest reporting: youtu.be/tcsZBeeJk9k?...

I believe Hannity had something to tweet in the short lived gotcha moment, just before they scored an own goal. Nothing since.

GOP Senator John Kennedy: “Do you believe in the Tooth Fairy?” Jack Smith: “I do not.” Kennedy: “Do you believe in the Easter Bunny?” Smith: “Not anymore.” Kennedy: “Do you believe in Bozo the Clown?” Smith: “Sure. I’m looking at him right now.” /s

It now costs the truck drivers on average $1,200 to fill up a single tank because of the war in Iran. Mike Rogers said it's a win-win-win. Are you winning?

NO FLUID was found in Nolan Wells' lungs or airways, per the autopsy report by the Mississippi State Medical Examiner. How do you die by "accidental drowning" if there is no water in your lungs?

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free
