Nixon didn’t go to prison over Watergate, but 48 others were convicted and served time for the scandal - notably, his Attorney General. Attention: Pam Bondi meet John Mitchell.

Maybe we could all get out of our silos and just agree to end the sado-masochistic ritual of changing the clocks… Nah, we deserve to be punished.

Two Democratic politicians in Minnesota were shot and killed in June and Trump said calling the state’s Democratic governor to give his condolences were a “waste of time.”

I’ve been investigating Paramount’s deal with Trump. Here’s what we know:
- Trump sued CBS
- CBS called the lawsuit “meritless”
- Paramount (owner of CBS) still settled, handing $16 MILLION+ to Trump’s library
- Paramount has a billion-dollar deal that needs Trump’s approval
- Trump sued CBS
- CBS called the lawsuit “meritless”
- Paramount (owner of CBS) still settled, handing $16 MILLION+ to Trump’s library
- Paramount has a billion-dollar deal that needs Trump’s approval
CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.
America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.
Watch and share his message.

Totally unique ornamental tree in flower and leaf. Hopefully the attempts to breed out all the negatives will eventually be successful.
Well at least they are pretty! 🤣🤣

Here's a question from Ancient Rome. What is it? Many similar objects have been discovered and studied. Experts still can't explain what they were for.
