As copyrights fall, expect more & more appearances of Hammett's Sam Spade. Kicking off the deluge is Mark Coggins' original short story, "MOCKINGBIRD," and it's a good one. Even first-drafted on Chandler's typewriter. But that's another story.

“It is perhaps unsurprising that a near-octogenarian with a history of delusionary public statements and unhinged late-night social media screeds might confuse the dates,… But Fox’s decision to cover up for President Trump’s error cannot be so easily dismissed.”. —Gavin sues FOX.

The Troll-in-Chief just upped his game. New hotel in Tel Aviv could bear his name. He could park his new jet there. .

Remember that we predicted a long time ago that Trump would threaten to attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!.

Where do the “Do your own research people” do their research?. “Bob told me”?. They’ll ignore staggering amounts of research from experts to find the one contradictory supposition that fits their beliefs.
