As someone who covered the region for a dozen years for the WSJ, and reported in astonishment how even under conservative Pres Ronald Reagan USAID was funding socialist projects in Latin America, I can assure you that this is 💯 accurate.

Political issues, policies and debates have become meaningless in America.

Because America is a place where election outcomes are largely controlled by the political establishment.

This needs to be more widely understood.

In light of the stunningly improbable LA mayoral election results, the Senate should turn immediately to the SAVE America Act

And keep debating it until it passes

Literally nothing is more important

🚨 President Trump just did what every real American has been waiting for. He dropped the mic, walked off the interview with Kristen Welker, and refused to waste another second.

At this point it is not worth President Trump’s time to meet with these reporters. I am happy that he ended the interview. All she did is ask for evidence of cheating which is so overwhelmingly obvious that a person with a 3rd grade education would know better.

Shame on the press for being complicit.

President Trump Walks Out of Combative NBC Interview with Kirsten Welker https://t.co/BGafiYpzpO

[RedWave Press @RedWavePress]

MUST WATCH: President Trump OBLITERATES Kristen Welker on Meet the Press, DROPS the mic on the ground, and then STORMS OUT of the interview. “You’re a one-sided crooked network. Sorry. Let’s call it quits because I’ve had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time.”

President Trump: “You play right into their hands with this stuff. You know that these elections are rigged. Your network knows that they’re rigged. Do you know that I won an election in a landslide and I got 94% bad press.”

“You know why I got that? Because you have no credibility.”

“Your elections are crooked and you’re crooked, and Meet the Press is crooked. And so is ABC and CBS and CNN.”

Kristen Welker: “Mr. President, let’s – please, I traveled all the way to Wisconsin.”

President Trump: “I’ve given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press, because you know what? A country can never be great with a dishonest press.”

David Lammy, the Deputy Prime Minister of the UK, is asked why it was okay for Keir Starmer and his colleagues to try to influence the outcome of the George Floyd case but not for J.D. Vance to weigh in on Henry Nowak’s murder after the trial conviction.

On this night in 1781, one man on a horse saved the American Revolution from losing Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, and half of Virginia's government in a single morning.

You were never taught his name.

June 3, 1781. The British had chased Virginia's entire government out of Richmond. Jefferson, in his final days as governor, and the legislature had fled to Charlottesville, thinking they were safe in the foothills.

They were wrong.

That evening, 26 year old militia captain Jack Jouett was at a tavern in Louisa County when roughly 250 of the most feared cavalry in the British army came pounding down the road. Their commander: Banastre Tarleton, nicknamed "The Butcher," the man whose dragoons had cut down surrendering Americans at Waxhaws.

There was only one place they could be going. Charlottesville. 40 miles away. And the capture of Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence, would be the prize of the war.

Jouett couldn't outrun them on the main road. So he didn't use it.

He swung onto overgrown backwoods trails and the abandoned Old Mountain Road, riding 40 miles through the dark with only the full moon for light. Legend says low hanging branches whipped and scarred his face for life.

Tarleton stopped his men for a 3 hour rest. Jouett never stopped.

Before sunrise on June 4, he came up the mountain to Monticello and woke Jefferson. Then he rode down into Charlottesville and warned the legislature.

Jefferson got out with minutes to spare. British dragoons were coming up his mountain as he left. The legislature escaped over the Blue Ridge to Staunton. Tarleton caught only seven stragglers, one of them a frontiersman serving in the legislature named Daniel Boone.

Paul Revere rode about 12 miles in 1775 and got captured before reaching Concord. Longfellow wrote him a poem and made him immortal.

Jack Jouett rode 40 miles, lost nothing, saved everything, and got a thank you gift of two pistols and a sword from the Virginia Assembly.

No poem. No fame. Almost no memory.

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump says CALIFORNIA IS CHEATING and demands the SAVE AMERICA ACT

“It's 4 DAYS and they still aren't even close to telling you who won. You know why? Because they're RIGGING the election!” 💯

"We should pass the SAVE America Act!"

It’s worse than a 3rd world country!

[Nick Sortor @nicksortor]

🚨 President Trump is CALLING OUT California's RIGGED election system against Spencer Pratt and Steve Hilton

"It's FOUR DAYS and they STILL aren't even CLOSE to telling you who won. You know why?

Because they're RIGGING the election, that's why. Four days!"

"It's a crooked state. We have crooked THIRD WORLD elections in a lot of our states and we should pass our SAVE AMERICA ACT!"

Reducing the SAVE America Act to a talking point amendment is embarrassing. But a masterful display of Washington failure theater: a low effort/no effort way of trying to placate the masses that “we tried” without ever having any intention of trying.

[⚽️ Kyle Sheldon @kylesheldon]

Is this the best World Cup team photo of all time?

Bravo, Norway 🇳🇴⚔️
