A number of 25 Republican-led states have sent soldiers to the Texas border to help combat illegal immigration, and more could be headed to the Lone Star...

Dear Texas

If you agree to secede within the next 48 hours we will throw in Florida as a parting gift

House Republicans brought in Rob Walker, a former business associate of Hunter Biden, on Friday for a closed-door deposition as part of their ongoing impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

...Smith, who was on a gurney, appeared conscious for “several minutes into the execution,” and “shook and writhed” for about two minutes after that, media witnesses said in a joint report.

'Trainwreck': Conservative GOP senators break on border, Ukraine deal as Donald Trump pressures Republicans

Conservative Republican senators are growing weary of bipartisan border and Ukraine talks as Donald Trump looms in the background.

I guess I can't believe Mitch is going to abandon Ukraine, after everything he's said about it. I also can't believe Biden will passively let this happen. This is the moment for these two old pols, born during WW2, to step up and do the right thing for the country and the world. - Bill Kristol

Ukraine says it has intelligence suggesting only five bodies were delivered from the crash site of a Russian military transport plane to a nearby morgue, a Ukraine military intelligence official told CNN, casting doubt on Moscow’s claim that dozens of Ukrainian prisoners of war were killed in the explosion.

Any word from the Mainstream Media about that missing, Top Secret Russia File, that Trump has not returned?

Oo, Oo, House Republicans Investigating A House Republican!
The House ethics panel investigating far-right Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has contacted multiple new witnesses and begun interviews, according to ABC News. The House Ethics Committee reopened its probe into Gaetz in July, after the Department of Justice’s sex-trafficking investigation closed without charging the Florida congressman. Gaetz has been accused of sexual misconduct, drug use, and public corruption. In a statement to ABC News, Gaetz mocked the Republican-led panel, saying, “It’s great to see the Ethics Committee has interests beyond trading stocks. They seem to be quite the unusual whales.”

Matt Gaetz sought a pardon for sex trafficking, which is something you only do when you are absolutely not a sex trafficker. - Middle Age Riot
