The GOP must have many firms whose sole job it is to come up with new conspiracy theories. In all the scores of truly well-documented books written about the Watergate scandal, no mention was ever made of it having been a Democratic false flag operation. That’s just more Republican revisionism.

Maybe I am incorrect, but I thought this should be a veto-proof bill considering the number of pro vs con votes. What does the reporting mean by “cancels signing“? Does that mean veto or inaction? Either way, there are enough votes for it to go through anyway. ground.news/article/trum...

As the short clip from Dover Air Base shows, J. D. Vance really does not know how to conduct himself in public. He seemed to be above it all, holding his hands in front of him while the others were in the position of attention. When the others prayed, he was the only one not to bow his head.
