And lets not forget Murdoch's newest paper— based in LA—gave Pratt its inaugural endorsement on the cover, cartoonishly claiming "Pragmatic Pratt is certainly the best candidate" and "Socialist candidate Nithya Raman represents a far-left agenda that is already destroying New York"

Bari Weiss' Free Press built an entire fantasy around the idea that Pratt was actually a serious candidate, promoting a bogus narrative that Republicans were ascendent in an "angry" California revolting against the left leaving the "far-left" Raman in ruins. NOPE

"By patiently waiting out this moment, by letting the United States exhaust itself, China has bought time to pursue what Xi calls “national self-reliance”—time to catch up with the West technologically and to fortify itself for the point when competition takes a harsher turn."

Trump complains he can't brag about the Iran War because of the "little man with the $4 gasoline": "I don't want to say we're making a fortune ... because if I say it, they're going to say, 'He forgets about the little man with the $4 gasoline.'"

President Donald Trump appears ready to drop his $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in exchange for a $1.7 billion settlement – an arrangement that left former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan in disbelief on Friday.

Kudos to this reporter who didn't just report Trump's claims on "deals" negotiated at the summit. Noting the details are scarce and that China has not confirmed these deals is the context we need. Our president lies. The people around him lie. His word is meaningless. [GIFT ARTICLE]
