Disgusted to hear just now that Israel launched a massive air and ground campaign to occupy Gaza City, following illegal strikes on Syria and Qatar.

This kills civilians. This kills hostages. All paid for by your tax dollars.

The President of the United States is accusing an unnamed government official of deliberately falsifying official reports on crime.

That's a pretty big accusation! Certainly a scandal, maybe even a crime.

Anyone want to press him to provide some, you know, proof?

Trump on DC: "Sadly, what I guess the mayor did, but whoever it was, they asked the numbers to be fudged so they would show less crime. The fact is, it's worse than it has ever been."
