🌪 Mayfield tornado has been rated an EF4 with 190 mph winds. Information still preliminary.

Mitch McConnell has given away the Unfrastructure Bill and will soon be giving away the Build Back Worse Bill, which will change the very fabric of our society. This was all made possible by the two-month extension he gave the Democrats, the separation of the two Bills, and, most importantly, his lack of courage in playing the Debt Ceiling Card. He has grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory! How this guy can stay as Leader is beyond comprehension—this is coming not only from me, but from virtually everyone in the Republican Party. He is a disaster and should be replaced as “Leader” ASAP!

Eric Trump offers a novel defense of his father's campaign

In a recent interview with Jay Cutler in his podcast, “Uncut,” Trump's son talked about his family's inexperience in politics, revealing that he once had to ask a campaign staffer to explain what a caucus entailed.

“You know, I looked at this young staffer, and I go, 'Hey, do you know what a caucus is?’” he recalled.

Eric Trump, who currently serves as executive vice president of the Trump Organization, also detailed that his family wasn’t even “smart enough to collude with Russia.”

“We didn't know what the hell we were doing,” he underscored. “We didn't know what a delegate was."

Eric’s remarks come more than two years after special counsel Robert Mueller concluded in a 2019. report that he did not find enough proof or evidence to corroborate claims of collusion or conspiracy.

⚡️Florida airbase evacuated after explosive device reportedly 'became loose'

🕵️‍♂️ US intelligence was looking into possible involvement of the Soviet Union in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the latest batch of declassified records shows.

One of the documents zooms in on a 1976 book by Robert S. Anson, particularly on excerpts regarding assassin Lee Harvey Oswald’s trip to Moscow in October 1959.

The intelligence found it suspicious that Oswald managed to secure a Soviet tourist visa in just 2 to 4 days.

A December 1978 file, however, says that though prompt issuance of Oswald’s visa was "somewhat suspect," it "does not warrant the belief that Oswald’s travel into the Soviet Union was assisted by others, particularly by the Soviets."

Confirmed tornado in Minnesota is first in state on record during December.
