We’ve talked about Operation Whirlwind before, but the mission keeps expanding, now it’s targeting scientific journals. This week, Ed Martin, the U.S. attorney for D.C., sent an unprecedented letter to CHEST, a medical journal focused on respiratory science, questioning their editorial policies

The US, per the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, is contractually bound to defend Ukraine. We had them give up their nuclear arsenal to Russia, for our protection of their sovereignty.

Musk did not create Tesla, he bought it.

Musk did not create Space X, he bought it.

Musk did not create X, he bought it.

Musk did not create Trump, he bought him.

This could disenfranchise married women voters, without a passport, as your married name wouldn’t match your birth certificate.
The SAVE Act Would Disenfranchise Millions of Citizens
The SAVE Act would require all Americans to prove their citizenship with documentation unavailable to millions and upend the way every American citizen registers to vote.

So, let's go over this whole $9 million Reuters thing:

-- it was first awarded UNDER TRUMP

-- it wasn't paid to the news agency but rather an entirely different Reuters division that does data analysis

-- it was to help PREVENT phishing and cyber attacks

Conflict of interest? The State Department’s procurement forecast lists Tesla as the recipient of the largest expected contract, with Marco Rubio’s department planning to purchase $400 million worth of “Armored Tesla” vehicles.

Darren Linvill of Clemson University’s Media Forensics Hub told NBC News the video was manufactured Russian propaganda.
