How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

📌It is absolutely appalling that OUR tax money is being used by the President of the United States to take to the airways to celebrate himself and attack US.
This is clearly against the law, but what would you expect from a woman-attacking and America-attacking convicted felon?

When the Trump administration started dismantling a $368 million ocean monitoring system earlier this year, scientists, fishermen and Congress fought back. On Saturday, a 238-foot ship set sail to reinstall the first batch of monitors in the waters of the Pacific.

Communists in Moscow held an officially approved rally.
Then they started chanting “Down with the Tsar!”
And suddenly the “approved rally” wasn’t so approved anymore - police beat them and dispersed the crowd.
