Trump’s Christmas Day attacks on Nigeria a complete failure and cost nearly $30 million.
Witnesses report the US struck fields and farmland in areas with no history of terrorist activity or presence. On top of that multiple US missiles failed to detonate & sunk into the dirt.

This dramatically enhanced pressure on Europe/Denmark and the new outrageous sanctions on info researchers coming at a time when Putin is escalating his physical attacks on Ukraine suggests that the US is now *coordinating* with Russia to weaken Europe and Ukraine.

Denmark lost more troops per capita in the post 9/11 war on Afghanistan. Saying they “are not a good ally” because they won’t surrender their territories to the US is lunacy. We are betraying our allies to satisfy the whims of a would-be Emperor for whom the US is not enough.
They’re again advocating against Denmark when it comes to Greenland

The renewal request from National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke Director Walter Koroshetz has been denied.
I guess the NIH_leadership™ needed another position to fill with their time-tested recruitment process.

I suspect that Chuck Redd's contract required him to appear at a venue called "The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts." Since such a named venue does not currently exist, how could he fulfill his contract obligations? Therefore, how is there a breach by him?

Fox News can't understand why President Biden is in the back of this family photo.
Because they can't grasp the notion of a president who isn't an egomaniacal a-hole - like Trump who has to be the constant center of attention who makes everyone nauseous and names things for himself.

And he thinks Joe Biden (who wasn't yet in power) authorized FBI agents to be sent to the Capitol on Jan 6, 2021, when DOJ reported to Trump.
