Mark Meadows Is Such A Wuss

Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows rolled over for Donald Trump by agreeing with the former president that the reporting about his upcoming book is “fake news.”

The Chief’s Chief became a major media focus when The Guardian flagged previews that Meadows wrote Trump tested positive for the coronavirus just days before his first debate with his eventual successor, Joe Biden.

Robert Mueller said the President of the United States was guilty of a felony and could be prosecuted when he left office.

Texas Blocked From Blocking Social Media Bans Or Something Like That. LOL.

A federal judge has blocked Texas from enforcing a law that aimed to block social media companies from banning users based on political views. 

Judge Robert Pitman issued the order Wednesday in favor of two industry associations that sued to block the Texas law. 

“Social media platforms have a First Amendment right to moderate content disseminated on their platforms,” Pitman wrote.

The Maned Wolf is the largest canine of South America. Its markings resemble those of foxes, but it is neither a fox nor a wolf. It is the only species in the genus Chrysocyon. It weighs between 20–30 kg and up to 90 cm at the withers. Those long legs!

AIDS timeline: Four decades but still no silver bullet

With hopes of eradicating AIDS badly hit by the coronavirus pandemic, we look at the fight against the deadly condition since its emergence 40 years ago, as the planet marks World AIDS Day on Wednesday.

In 1986 two of my friends died of AIDS six months after being infected, one was gay and one was straight. Both felt abandoned by society who feared them and by the Reagan administration who made jokes about them. Republicans are just cruel, pure and simple.

The Problem Here Is, Blood Is Thicker Than The Truth

On Monday night, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo omitted the latest damning reporting on him advising his brother, then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo, amid the sexual harassment allegations against him at the time.

The latest reporting includes Chris Cuomo’s private texts revealing that he sought to help his brother handle the accusations, and that the CNN host used his sources to find out who was behind them. Additionally, Chris Cuomo “snooped into the progress of Ronan Farrow’s reporting about his brother Andrew Cuomo and relayed it to the governor’s inner circle, according to a newly released transcript of his testimony to New York state investigators in July.”
