⚡️Six killed, six wounded as a result of Ukrainian shelling of a covered market in Donetsk - Mayor

Being one of the biggest international events of the year, the UN General Assembly gets a lot of media attention. But not everything that's been said reaches the airwaves. Christopher C. Black, an expert on international criminal, whom I interviewed on Wednesday, pointed at the fact that some speakers, such as the Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi get much less attention than Joe Biden: “The only thing they mentioned today on CNN, I noticed, was Iran's statement that they want to get justice for the murder by the United States of General Soleimani in Iraq a couple of years ago. And that's a murder that Biden didn't apologize for.”

💬 “Who gives a f**k about Christmas stuff and decoration, but I need to do it right?” FLOTUS was heard saying in the tape, run by CNN in October 2020.

After Melania Trump “set the record straight” with her statement on September 21, Wolkoff released a barrage of Tweets, lambasting what she claimed was “mean fiction.”
