This starts with her aggressively trying to link him to the Muslim Brotherhood. I'd like to see someone turn the tables on this. "You're Christian, right? Did you support Timothy McVeigh? Did you agree with Dylann Roof? Or Eric Rudolph? Robert Lewis Dear? No? Even though you share their religion?"

As a doctor, I’ve spent my career with Ohioans on some of the hardest days of their lives. The last thing anyone should worry about in those moments is whether or not they can afford the care they need.

True, after losing all daddy’s $413M and going $3B in debt before going chapter 11 bankrupt; when no banks would loan to the shyster anymore. Trump would be a homeless popper if not for billion$ from Russian “banks”, managed by the State. He’s been. Kompromat paid employee of the Kremlin ever since.

In light of we've learned about the execution team's struggle to establish IV access before Christa Pike's failed lethal injection, here's a story I wrote in June after Carruthers. The new protocol TN adopted in 2025 reduced training in IV placement. nashvillebanner.com/2026/06/30/t...

Tennessee's current lethal injection protocol includes reduced training on IV placement, an issue that caused the state to halt Tony Carruthers' execution.

While you had to pay up, Meta skirted almost $4 billion in taxes last year. How? By abusing a tax credit tied to its data centers. It's time to make corporations pay their fair share.
