Trump is banning fact-checkers--yes, those people who do the research to learn the truth--from entering the USA.
When Trump says he supports free speech, what he means is supports his right to lie. Those who tell the truth are therefore his natural enemies.

In Kupyansk, Ukrainian forces are continuing to clear the city as the Russian grouping has lost the ability to hold its positions, the Joint Forces communication chief Viktor Tregubov says.
He reports that about 50 Russian servicemen remain in the city.

This is profoundly un-American.
No—that's not right.
It's *anti*-American.
It's hatred of the United States and its founding documents and all its people and all its traditions.

If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Accurate about a Pathological Liar and Convicted Felon who Incited an Insurrection, tried to Steal a Fair Election and is Covering up Sex Crimes against Children, shouldn't his Disgraceful Presidency be terminated? I say, YES!

9” of rain in 18 hours Los Angeles.
Turn irrigation OFF until January 14th, or as late as January 21! You won’t need water before then unless we have another wild climate warming 90F January week like 2024.
We’re about to get a deep soak, toss some seeds outside! 🌱

This is a remarkable forecast discussion from the WPC:
"...heavy rainfall totals for Southern CA will likely occur over an 18 hour period, with widespread 4-7 inch totals, with isolated max amounts of 9"+..."
"...anomalous 850-700 mb moisture flux; 5+ standard deviations above the mean..."
