Glad PoS Cory Mills getting reamed in right-wing media but maybe the 3 "investigative reporters" @theblaze who flat out plagiarized my story could have worked in credit. Fucking lowlifes, they're as bad as Mills. @petergietl, @Jill_Savage, @HanneBlaze64. www.theblaze.com/news/stolen-...

I couldn't include all the sleaze on this dirtbag even in a 4-part series, ie soon after Mills voted to protect "American women" by deporting more “illegals" his mistress retracted a report of assault after he demanded she lie to cops about what happened. www.washingtonbabylondc.com/p/gop-congre...
GOP Congressman Cory Mills' Epic Saga of Fighting America's Most Dangerous Enemies Toe-to-Toe During His Military Service Launched His Political Career. But Is It True?
Part IV: In February, Mills' mistress called the police to report he'd assaulted her. He denies it, but if proven true it would be the first time it's been confirmed Mills ever had a role in combat.

This important story is the first I’m running at Washington Babylon by an outside writer. A 6-month investigation by Matt Bernardini finds smoking gun evidence that unravels the truth behind the most sordid, salacious political dirty trick of modern times. www.washingtonbabylondc.com/p/exclusive-...
EXCLUSIVE: How Trump's 2020 Reelection Campaign Planned and Implemented the Hunter Biden Laptop Op
Part I: New evidence indicates Hunter Biden didn't drop off his now infamous laptop at a small computer repair store in Wilmington, Delaware. So who did?

Are you open to the idea of starring in Deep Throat II? Because I've never seen anyone more dedicated than you are to mastering the art of the blow job. Jesus Christ, senator, have some goddamn self-respect.

OK, here’s all of Part III & Part IV will run by Friday barring a nuclear holocaust. I genuinely believe this is an important story because it’s so repugnant & Mills is a key player in the national security arena, but I need to move the fuck on. www.washingtonbabylondc.com/p/gop-congre...

Congrats, Bari! I didn't think it was possible but you found a way to push the Free Press before naming your new columnist down to the No. 2 Most Putrid Neocon Rag in History right behind the new No. 1 Most Putrid Neocon Rag in History, the Free Press after you appointed her.

This is the 1st of 4 sections on the outlandish lies a congressman - a real congressman, not Charles Manson desperately trying to frame Tex as the sole killer at 10050 Cielo Drive - made to cash in on his fraudulent tale of Stolen Valor.

Finished up the final interviews for Part III of story on Congressman Cory Mills & hope to post it tomorrow. Mills, who portrays himself as a battle-tested combat veteran, is a flat-out fraud. The Wizard of Oz is more tethered to reality than his war stories.

Apropos of nothing, maybe I’ll just repost this interview with military analyst @vanidan about Pete Hegseth, or as he’s generally known (when not referred to as the “Drunk Misogynist & Wife-Beater”) the “walking, talking pile of hair gel.”

Six Questions for National Security Analyst David Isenberg on Defense Secretary Nominee Pete Hegseth and the Questions He Should Have Been Asked During His Confirmation Hearings
"Hegseth would be the most grossly unqualified defense secretary to hold the job" since the Pentagon was established in 1947. He's a walking, talking pile of hair gel."

Self-professed War Hero & GOP Rep. Cory Mills says he narrowly survived a 2006 bombing in Iraq. Army vet Scott Kempkens, who was with him that day, says Mills is “a lying sack of shit: "If he was wounded in Iraq, it happened when he cut himself shaving.” www.washingtonbabylondc.com/p/gop-congre...

Reposting from late last night: Have no fear, Rep. Cory Mills, the one-man scourge of America’s enemies, is working 24/7 to keep you safe according to his autobiography, which is based on a true story, just not his, according to his actual Army records.

Part I: Mills account is disputed by former military officials and veterans. One skeptic obtained his Army records, which Mills hasn't released - apparently for very good reasons.

To judge from his account of the harrowing years he spent defending America from the planet’s most evil evildoers, Cory Mills’ battlefield heroics rival the exploits of cartoon superheroes. His critics see that’s not a coincidence. www.washingtonbabylondc.com/p/congressma...

This is probably too good to be true, but I just tried to post this to Twitter & can’t access site. Is it possible its headquarters was destroyed by a nuclear blast & no one was on the premises except Musk, whose ashy remains are currently drifting somewhere over the US Southwest?
Well, you don’t get news this good every day. Tesla’s market cap has plunged to $725 billion, down 34% over since a month ago, when it was well over $1 trillion. A round of applause for Dork MAGA overlord Elon Musk!
