    So the news here is that Fox released the full video on Trump, while CBS did not release the full video on Harris.
    Fox's recent segment about Donald Trump's visit to a barbershop in the Bronx was, to use a hairstyle metaphor, a crop cut. I reviewed more complete video of the visit and found that Fox edited out many of Trump’s rambling comments and false claims. cnn.com/2024/10/24/med…

    “In addition, she herself, very eloquently without raising her voice, screamed at the top of her lungs how policy has failed our police and that cops count and cops matter.”
    It wasn’t the shield on NYPD Detective Jonathan Diller’s chest that motivated him to go toward the danger on the fateful evening he was murdered, but his heart beneath. It was also this heart that was clearly filled with love — made clear by the inspiring remarks of his

    They were smart to change it from "global warming" to "climate change."

    California can still serve a purpose: It can provide a teachable moment for the other 49 states. And, of course, it's only a matter of time before Calif repeals this idiocy.
    What happens when officials decide that "low-level" crimes aren't worth prosecuting? Crime goes through the roof. Shoplifting is normalized. Stores must lock up their wares. Vandals & drug addicts grow brazen. And whole communities become unlivable. fxn.ws/33c6uRJ
