Somebody that suggested perhaps no airplane hit the Pentagon On 9 11, that horrifying School Shootings were prestaged, that the clintons crashed jfk jr. s airplane is not living in reality. This has nothing to do with the challenges facing American Families or the robust debates on substance that can strengthen the party. Now, i would wager every one of you agrees with what i just said.

Impeachment trial of donald j. Trump. A new brief says the former president holds unmistakable responsibility for the capitol riot, and that it was obvious and foreseeable that his remarks on january 6th would lead to that riot and disaster. The president s new legal team faces a noon deadline to file a response. These are two developing story lines in the biden reset. Today he will form a new White House Task force to reunite children separated from their parents during the Trump Administration.
