This is hopeless … I mean yes, this is basically the job. Go find secrets and publish them.
According to MSM and their supporters: “Real Journalism” = harassing unauthorized government staff until they say classified info so you can leak it.

- Deshaun Watson: Handpicked by Stefanski - Joe Flacco: Handpicked by Stefanski - Dillon Gabriel: Handpicked by Stefanski Stop telling me Stefanski is blameless because he hasn't had his QB. He's handpicked 3 of them.

Mallory knows the path to dem primary runs through showing up in black churches, and not just right before the election but well in advance Sounds like she's being received pretty well in baptist churches on the stump! It helps that was super involved in her church growing up
I was raised to see that faith is active, not passive. That faith, without works, is dead. It is not just about words on a page, but about what we choose to do with our bodies, our minds, and our spirits, especially in service to others. Thank you, Pastor Marshall, for

I'll say it again....Folks can quibble with his song material (yeah, at times cheesy). But Tom Jones is battling it out for the greatest pure British vocalist of all time. No hyperbole. That dude could SING sing.

Newsflash: The Browns are going to suck there, too.
The Cleveland #Browns are officially moving to Brook Park. Done deal. Cleveland City Council approved the $100 million settlement with the team Monday evening.

Between this and the skate park, it's pretty sick that this project seems to be including elements that recognize its *other uses* while vacant. All that's left is a graffiti art school.
Also included in this ambitious Packard Plant site redevelopment are plans to build the "MODEM" aka "The Museum of Detroit Electronic Music" Full story posting soon..

Shedeur Sanders has two starts. In those two starts, Jerry Jeudy has 4 catches, 2 dropped passes, and 1 fumble. Through 10 games with Dillon Gabriel and Joe Flacco, Jeudy had 28 catches with 8 drops, a lousy 2.8 catches per game average, and this is how he disrespects his QB.

Per CNN the alleged gunman had his asylum application approved during the current administration.
I remember back in 2021 criticizing the Biden policy of opening the floodgate to unvetted Afghan refugees. Friends sent me messages calling me a racist. It was a clarifying moment. They shouldn't have been in our country.

Delusional view on the current state of media consumption and who people trust to get their info from. Not saying Tucker or Fuentes are the pillars, because yikes, but you can't unring the bell, man. And certainly not by serving an alleyoop to *checks notes* Alan Dershowitz.
Bari Weiss says she wants to use her new perch at CBS News to “redraw the lines of what falls in the 40 yards of acceptable debate” in American political and cultural life. She says the aim is to sideline voices like Hasan Piker, Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes, and elevate
