The Convicted FElon is now saying that he pardoned Tina Peters, even though he doesn't have any power over state convictions.
But he wants to control all levels of government, Federal, State & Local governments.

Bennie Thompson on Noem: "Her arrival was short lived. She left in the middle of the hearing ostensibly to go to another meeting. We found that the meeting had been canceled, so she could've stayed. But nonetheless, we're not surprised, because this is who she is."

People realized in 2022 what a mistake it was to let Russia annex Crimea, and to let it build that bridge. Now Crimea is a large military base where warships were stationed at one time, fighter jets fly, missiles and drones are launched nightly.
Russia cannot keep Crimea. It uses it to terrorize.

It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

Well, that’s the death of tourism here
They would never let me into this country if I weren't already here
In addition to 5 years of social media history, CBP would also require tourists to provide all phone numbers used over that period, any email addresses used in the past decade, DNA and iris scans, and the names, addresses, birthdates and birthplaces of family members
