Like Neville Chamberlain selling out Czechoslovakia in Munich.
NEW!! Apparently, Trump was not misspeaking. Sources tell me that there are indeed plans for Trump to briefly cross into russia after meeting with Putin in Alaska on Friday. This is going to more look like Trump-Kim DMZ summit.

Jimmy Swaggart (1935-2025). Caught a revival meeting in Vancouver when he was on the comeback trail in 1991. "I feel the presence of God in this building tonight," the preacher's daughter-in-law said. If so, He had no trouble finding a seat.

It is misinformation to say Los Angeles is burning, says reporter appearing on CNN which is using a logo of a burning car and the words "ICE PROTESTS.".
Misinfo always spreads during street protests. This time some of the misleading sources are federal agencies. Today a Defense Department "rapid response" account on X claimed that "Los Angeles is burning." Hyperbolic much? There were no reports of fires in L.A. at the time.
