🤔 Trump for Speaker of the House? "Very interesting"
During an interview broadcast by radio host Wayne Allyn Root, the former US president described the idea that he should become the Speaker of the House of Representatives as "interesting", but did not assess his chances of running in 2022 as high.
"Why not, instead of waiting for 2024, and I'm hoping you'll run in 2024 but why not run in 2022 for the United States Congress? " Root suggested.

🙄 OK, so now we have more reason to suspect that the US Army’s Instagram page is actually run by a teenager.
The US Army has baffled netizens again, hot on the heels of an infamous "woke" recruitment video. This time, an Instagram story suggests different specialities for various zodiac signs.
"Wondering what your zodiac sign says about the kind of soldier you could be in the army? You'll just have to click through our Instagram story to find the answer because our lips are sealed over here", the post says.
Unfortunately, many of the comments on the post show little amusement, as people apparently think astrology is not the best way for soldiers to choose their career path.

🔍🧾 The US Department of Justice will no longer subpoena the records of reporters while investigating leaks of classified information to the media, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said on Saturday.
The statement comes amid Friday reports about the justice department under the administrations of both Donald Trump and Joe Biden, trying to obtain logs of reporters as part of whistleblower probes to learn their sources, while also imposing a gag order on the media outlet to prevent it from reporting on the investigation.
The spokeswoman also claimed that the White House was unaware of the gag order until Friday night.
🤔 Isn't the White House supposed to know what its administration is doing?
