Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

I have often said Fox News Channel is a political operation disguised as a cable newschannel. ProPublica's reporting reveals just how far that goes, saying the "network repeatedly provided a misleading picture of what was happening in Portland." https://loom.ly/0MARod4
“Riots Raging”: The Misleading Story Fox News Told About Portland Before Trump Sent Troops
After reviewing coverage from the network and hours of social media videos that preceded Trump’s decision, ProPublica found that Fox’s portrayal of “Portland rioters” routinely instigating violence was misleading.

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

MRI studies have revealed something amazing about dogs. Their love for their owners goes beyond food, toys, or even other dogs. Scientists discovered that when a dog smells its owner, a special part of its brain actually lights up more than it does when the dog smells food or another animal. Dogs!

More so than any of the other great American undertakings--the Panama Canal, say, or the Apollo Program, or nuclear energy--the Great Oregon Whale Bombing represents the acme of our national creativity and the epitome of the imaginative use of dynamite.
On this day 55 years ago, blubber went boom at the Oregon Coast.
That's when officials made the legendary decision to blow up a dead whale.
Here's a look back at the explosive piece of Oregon lore with a 2020 story by OPB's Tiffany Camhi written ahead of the whale of a tale's 50th anniversary.

The exploding whale is a piece of Oregon lore that just won’t go away. It’s one of those real-life stories that just sounds too strange to be real.
