Forty days since the murder of Raman Bandarenka in #Belarus. The whole country is still shocked & mourning. The most frightening thing - the regime does not even pretend to investigate Raman's death. They lie & imprison the journalist and the doctor who dared to speak the truth.

 

While Fox News and Newsmax have responded to legal threats by walking back their Dominion and Smartmatic conspiracy theories, OAN is still pushing them. This is from the 3 p.m. hour today.

Newsmax just aired this note to "clarify" its coverage of Smartmatic and Dominion.

Republicans the party of three martini deductions

 

No right, I'm afraid. When you wear and not wear a mask at the same time, you simply break two laws at the same time. Why? Because Hong Kong police determines who break the law. Hong Kong is becoming a joke

 

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee refuses mask mandate despite having nation’s worst COVID outbreak

Dear @realDonaldTrump: You failed to stop the coronavirus explosion in the United States when you only focused on China (and it was only a partial ban) but allowed anyone from Europe carrying the virus to enter America. Are you going to make the same mistake twice?
