PACIFIC WATCHJeff Bliss, "Pacific Watch," and Michael Vlahos ("Germanicus"), join John Batchelor in a combined Pacific Watch and Londinium Chronicles session. Bliss reports on Southern California's intense high-pressure ridge and tropical moisture pushed up by storms off Mexico, creating a highly humid, Florida-like climate with inland desert temperatures consistently reaching 110 to 115 degrees. Off San Diego, ocean temperatures have surged to an unprecedented 79 degrees, sparking explosive growth in the stingray population, drawing in numerous great white and hammerhead sharks, and prompting massive tuna runs unlike anything in recent memory. At the Newport Harbor entrance, southern storms are generating massive swells that bounce off a stone jetty to create "the Wedge"—a notoriously dangerous surf spot where waves abruptly swell from 4-foot faces into towering 20-to-25-foot walls that break directly on the shore. Bliss then describes "dystopian" homeless encampments in Berkeley and Los Angeles that resemble scenes from Mad Max, enabled by local policies that do not roust campers and provide clean needles and meth pipes. Organized crime syndicates have begun controlling some of these spaces, renting out tent plots and broken-down RVs to the vulnerable, and the extreme lack of sanitation has triggered a modern typhus outbreak—prompting Bliss and Vlahos to compare the camps to ancient leper colonies and disease-ridden medieval crusader camps outside Constantinople. (1)LONDINIUM CHRONICLESGaius (John Batchelor) and Germanicus (Michael Vlahos): Meeting at their expanded wine bar by the Thames in 92 AD Londinium—amid first-century trademark disputes, Greek vintners, and the Eighth Legion—the hosts dissect contemporary international conflicts, arguing that the modern "emperor" is actively exacerbating chaos. They analyze the "phony war" dynamics of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, pointing to CIA Director Ratcliffe's unacknowledged mission to Moscow, Belarusian combat readiness drills, Polish tank movements along the Kaliningrad border, and Ukraine's severely depleted military budget. Germanicus predicts that the current global tension will not escalate into a global death spiral, but will instead end "not with a bang but a whimper" via the collapse and humiliation of American global power—much like the sudden and abrupt collapse of British imperial power in 1948.

Early in the investigation into the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, Moscow police were still trying to account for a significant gap in the victims' movements on the night of November 12 and early morning of November 13, 2022. Investigators had established a relatively clear timeline for Goncalves and Mogen, who had spent part of the night at a downtown bar before stopping at a food truck and returning to the King Road house. The movements of Kernodle and Chapin were far less certain. Police knew the couple had attended a party at the Sigma Chi fraternity house, but there was an approximately four-hour stretch between when they were believed to have arrived there and when they returned home that investigators were still working to reconstruct. Authorities appealed to the public for photographs, videos, witness accounts or other information that could help determine exactly where Kernodle and Chapin had been and whom they had encountered during those missing hours.At that stage, the unexplained period was one of several major holes investigators were attempting to fill as they built a minute-by-minute picture of the victims' final night. Police had not publicly identified a suspect, the murder weapon had not been recovered, and investigators were still collecting surveillance footage, digital evidence and tips from people who had been in the area. The four-hour gap did not mean police believed Kernodle or Chapin had necessarily encountered the killer during that period; rather, investigators were trying to eliminate uncertainty and determine whether anything that happened earlier in the evening could have been connected to what occurred later at the King Road residence. The unanswered timeline became another example of how incomplete the public picture remained during the first weeks of the investigation, when authorities were still assembling basic facts that would later be viewed very differently once Bryan Kohberger was arrested and the probable-cause evidence became public.to ocntact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/idaho-police-puzzled-by-four-hour-gap-in-timeline-of-murder-victims/ar-AA14XYAG?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=26522fcce5e548dda528f0a0f2b2df0b

When we first began covering the University of Idaho murders in November 2022, the case was still almost completely undefined. Four students — Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin — had been found dead inside an off-campus home on King Road in Moscow after police responded to a report of an unconscious person. Authorities were treating the deaths as homicides, but there was no suspect in custody and virtually every major question remained unanswered. Moscow Mayor Art Bettge said investigators had not settled on a motive and suggested possibilities ranging from a crime of passion to a burglary or robbery gone wrong. At that point, even the basic narrative of what had happened inside the house was still taking shape, while police searched the property, collected evidence and tried to reassure a shaken university community that there did not appear to be an ongoing threat.That was the environment in which our coverage of the case began: before Bryan Kohberger's name entered the public conversation, before the white Hyundai Elantra became a centerpiece of the investigation, before the DNA evidence, cellphone records, surviving-roommate accounts and enormous volume of court litigation that would eventually define the case. In those first reports, the story was simply an inexplicable quadruple homicide involving four young people who had been together with friends only hours before their deaths. The early speculation about a burglary gone wrong or a crime of passion demonstrated just how little was actually known and how dramatically the understanding of the case would evolve in the weeks and years that followed. Looking back at that initial reporting now provides a useful snapshot of where this investigation started: four victims, a house full of unanswered questions, an unknown killer and a community trying to understand how something so violent could have happened in the middle of a quiet college town.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11430199/Four-University-Idaho-students-killed-burglary-gone-wrong-mayor-says.html

The wars in Iran and Ukraine are increasingly entangled, CIA Director John Ratcliffe had to personally deliver a message to Moscow, and Trump is driving our Gulf allies into the arms of China. Meanwhile, the U.S.-Israel relationship keeps mucking up our domestic politics, particularly in Abdul El-Sayed's campaign in Michigan. But it also turns out that podcast host (and senator) Ted Cruz seems to be pocketing money from the state of Israel itself. Plus: Some Democrats have finally figured out how to deliver speeches again, Vance is always trying to turn himself into something he's not, the DSA posters sound a lot like the Resistance 1.0, and Enes Kanter is still a POS. Ben Rhodes joins Tim Miller for the weekend pod.

Today's Headlines: Donald Trump signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America — yes, really — musing that maybe he'll rename the Atlantic and Pacific next, while Canadian PM Mark Carney responded that "Ontario" is a 400-year-old Wendat word meaning "the lake is beautiful, the lake is big," which is a more dignified response than the moment deserved. Back to actual issues, Iran has been running an AI-powered disinformation operation on Instagram and Facebook, posing as average Americans to spread political misinformation about immigration and the Israel-Palestine war, with Meta taking down 35 accounts — which is a lot of effort from a country we're supposedly defeating militarily. The military situation is genuinely alarming across every front: a sailor who jumped off the USS Abraham Lincoln in what his wife describes as a suicide attempt — after his paternity leave requests were repeatedly denied while his wife gave birth — is now facing disciplinary action for "malingering" and AWOL charges for being medically evacuated. Pete Hegseth fired the Army's top general days after the general was advised to drop an investigation into how Kid Rock got a military helicopter fly by so he could wave at it on social media. Oh but there's more, Jennifer Hegseth, Pete's wife and former Fox News producer, has been attending classified intelligence meetings with foreign officials with no confirmed security clearance — she was in the Houthi PC small group chat. Five service members told MSNBC they're being asked to violate international law by targeting civilian infrastructure, and applications to leave as conscientious objectors have surged since the Iran war started. The US is also "beyond critically low" on Patriot missile interceptors in Europe — because of the Iran war — right as the CIA director had to fly to Moscow in person to tell Russia not to attack NATO. A Navy engineer's rape lawsuit against the ship captain who allegedly entered her room with a master access key was dismissed by a judge who said it should be treated as a workplace compensation claim. To add to the overall craziness, ICE arrested 49,000 people in July alone, with less than 4% having any prior violent conviction. And finally, Fauci's prosecution is apparently going nowhere, which is the best news of the day.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they weigh in on President Trump renaming Lake Ontario as the trade spat with Canada intensifies, Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman's pathetic example of an accomplishment, why CIA Director John Ratcliffe secretly went to Moscow, and Politico badly mischaracterizing Jim's reporting.First, they shake their heads as President Trump orders Lake Ontario to be called Lake America in response to the U.S.-Canada trade relationship getting worse. Jim and Greg contend the renaming of  the lake doesn't accomplish anything, and Jim notes that our current trade policies only make life tougher for GOP candidates in the midterms.Next, they get a kick out of socialist Los Angeles councilwoman and mayoral candidate Nithya Raman bragging about how her office successfully painted a new crosswalk across a badly cracked street just nine months after her constituents asked her to do it. Then, they react to new reporting from the Wall Street Journal that CIA Director John Ratcliffe recently went to Moscow in a secretive way to demand Russia refrain from attacking NATO members and reiterating that NATO members will defend their partners. Jim applauds Trump and Ratcliffe for sending that message but wants to know what intelligence prompted the trip and that message.Finally, Jim vents after Politico blatantly distorts his reporting on a possible AOC presidential bid and makes other amateurish errors.Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMoney is on the line.

China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea are engaged in “unprecedented” cooperation, and that is empowering Russian aggression in Ukraine and making the regime in Iran more lethal and resilient. Axis security cooperation is iterative and flowing in both directions across the bilateral relationships within the Axis, making its militaries more formidable and eroding the margin of safety for Americans and their partners.What is the latest in Ukraine? How are Axis members supporting Putin's invasion? What role have drones played in Ukraine and the Middle East? How are Moscow and Tehran cooperating, and what are the consequences? What is the status of US and partner air defenses and lessons learned? And what changes are afoot when it comes to US military posture in Europe?Generation Jihad guest host Bradley Bowman, senior director of FDD's Center on Military and Political Power (CMPP), discusses these questions and more with John Hardie, deputy director of FDD's Russia program, and Cameron McMillan, senior research analyst at FDD's CMPP.

Bryan Kohberger's effort to withdraw his guilty plea is moving forward procedurally, but Fourth District Judge Steven Hippler has not yet decided that Kohberger is entitled to an evidentiary hearing. Hippler has issued an order laying out how the post-conviction challenge will proceed and has reserved a date in June 2027 in case a hearing ultimately becomes necessary. Kohberger, who is serving four consecutive life sentences without parole for the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, has filed a handwritten petition seeking to undo the plea agreement that spared him the death penalty. He claims his former attorneys manipulated him into accepting the deal by frightening him about death-row conditions, promising him better treatment in prison and failing to disclose or adequately review evidence that he believes could have helped his defense. Kohberger has since been appointed a new attorney, Greg Rauch, as the court begins sorting through whether those allegations are sufficient to justify further proceedings.Hippler is also making clear that any attempt to reopen the case will be governed by strict evidentiary rules rather than simply by Kohberger's allegations. The judge has ordered both sides to identify potential witnesses, including expert witnesses, by early February and has warned that attorneys could face sanctions if they fail to comply with Idaho's procedural and evidentiary requirements. A status conference is on the calendar for June 2027, but the key distinction is that Kohberger has not yet won a hearing on the merits of his claims, much less permission to withdraw his guilty plea. The order instead creates a framework for the court to determine whether an evidentiary hearing is warranted after reviewing the filings and evidence presented by both sides. That leaves Kohberger's challenge alive, but still facing a substantial legal hurdle before the court considers unraveling the plea agreement and reopening the murder case.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:A June date on the calendar, but no hearing yet for Bryan Kohberger's plea challenge

In January 2023, former NYPD inspector Paul Mauro argued that five pieces of evidence outlined in the probable cause affidavit had already created a potentially powerful circumstantial case against Bryan Kohberger. At the center was DNA recovered from the snap of a Ka-Bar-style knife sheath found beside Madison Mogen's body, which investigators initially connected to Kohberger through a familial comparison involving his father. Mauro also pointed to surveillance footage of a white Hyundai Elantra traveling near the King Road residence before and after the murders, noting that the vehicle's movements appeared to correspond with Kohberger's cellphone activity. Phone records showed Kohberger's device had connected to cell towers serving the area around the victims' home on multiple occasions before the killings, while the phone stopped reporting to the network during the critical period surrounding the murders and reconnected afterward as it traveled south of Moscow and eventually back toward Pullman. Taken together, Mauro argued that the DNA, car footage and cellphone evidence reinforced one another and would have been difficult for the defense to explain away independently.Mauro also highlighted surviving roommate Dylan Mortensen's description of the masked man she saw leaving the house, saying her account of a tall, athletically built man with bushy eyebrows was broadly consistent with Kohberger's appearance. He noted that investigators had also discovered a latent shoeprint along the route Mortensen said the intruder had taken, creating another piece of evidence prosecutors could potentially attempt to connect to Kohberger. Finally, Mauro pointed to Kohberger's earlier criminology research, particularly a Reddit survey in which he had asked people who committed crimes about how they selected victims, prepared for offenses, approached targets and avoided detection. Mauro cautioned that Kohberger was still presumed innocent and that much remained unknown at that early stage, but he believed prosecutors already possessed several different categories of evidence that, when viewed together, could form a compelling narrative against him.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Prosecutors pushed back against Bryan Kohberger's scientific report supporting a change of venue by arguing that the defense had overstated what its survey data actually proved about potential juror bias in Latah County. The defense had relied on polling and expert analysis to argue that pretrial publicity had poisoned the local jury pool and made it impossible for Kohberger to receive a fair trial in Moscow. The State countered that widespread familiarity with the case was not the same thing as fixed prejudice and emphasized that jurors could know about the murders without having already decided Kohberger was guilty. Prosecutors also challenged the methodology and interpretation behind the defense study, arguing that some of the questions were leading, that attitudes measured in a survey did not necessarily predict how prospective jurors would behave under oath, and that voir dire remained the proper mechanism for identifying and removing biased jurors.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In the days after the November 2022 murders of University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, investigators were examining a series of phone calls made by Goncalves and Mogen shortly before they were killed. The two women had repeatedly called a man named Jack, later identified as Goncalves' former boyfriend, Jack DuCoeur, with roughly 10 calls placed between the two phones during the early-morning hours. The calls quickly attracted public attention because they occurred so close to the estimated time of the murders, but Goncalves' family strongly defended DuCoeur and said they did not believe he had anything to do with the killings. They explained that Goncalves and DuCoeur had remained close despite recently ending their long-term relationship and said the calls were not unusual in the context of their relationship.At that stage of the investigation, authorities had not identified a suspect, recovered the murder weapon or publicly explained exactly what had happened inside the King Road house, leaving a vacuum that was rapidly filled by speculation. Police said they were aware of the calls and were looking into everyone connected to the victims, but they ultimately said they did not believe DuCoeur was involved. The intense focus on him illustrated how quickly friends, acquaintances and former partners of the victims became subjects of public suspicion while investigators were still working through evidence and interviews. With no arrest yet made and few concrete answers available, the case remained highly fluid, and details such as the late-night calls took on outsized significance even though they did not ultimately establish DuCoeur as a suspect in the murders.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11447075/Two-female-Idaho-students-four-killed-phoned-mystery-man-called-Jack-ten-times.html

Six weeks after the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, Kaylee's former boyfriend, Jack DuCoeur, was described by relatives as devastated by her death and overwhelmed by the suspicion that had been directed toward him in the immediate aftermath. DuCoeur and Goncalves had dated for roughly five years before breaking up only weeks before the murders, though family members said the split had been amicable and that the two remained close. Because Goncalves and Mogen had repeatedly called DuCoeur in the hours before they were killed, he quickly became a focus of public speculation, particularly online. Police, however, investigated him and said they did not believe he was involved in the murders. His family said the accusations had compounded his grief, leaving him to mourn someone he had loved while strangers continued to question whether he had played some role in her death despite authorities clearing him.DuCoeur's family also said he was struggling with the idea of returning to the University of Idaho because so much of his life in Moscow had been connected to Goncalves. At that point in December 2022, the murders remained unsolved, the weapon had not been recovered and police had not publicly identified a suspect, creating an atmosphere in which rumors and amateur theories flourished online. Goncalves' family continued pressing for answers and raising money to potentially hire private investigators and obtain additional legal assistance as frustration grew over the lack of an arrest. The uncertainty surrounding the investigation left the families and the Moscow community in an agonizing state of limbo, while people such as DuCoeur found themselves dealing not only with enormous personal loss but also with the consequences of intense public speculation during the earliest and most chaotic stage of the case.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonnmail.comhttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/idaho-college-murders-reddit-murder-house-moscow-b2250369.html

Ellen Coyne and Jack Power join Pat Leahy to look back on the week in politics:· All 27 EU foreign ministers will gather in Druids Glen in Wicklow next week for a “Gymnich” meeting. What is that you ask, it is characterised as a more informal chat with no expectation of any hard decisions being made. The lull of August will now give way to a hectic calendar culminating in difficult choices around the next seven-year EU budget.· Andy Burnham made his first visit to Northern Ireland this week as UK prime minister. He raised eyebrows with his assertion that a Border poll is “off the table”. This won't please Sinn Féin given the money and energy they are putting into making a vote on a united Ireland a reality. · The Dáil sat briefly on Friday, where, among other topics of debate, it decided to vote against fuel price increases. The Government now further defers clawing back the cuts in excise taxes it announced earlier in the summer for two more months. Can it continue to shield the public from increasing fuel costs beyond November?Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· The unifying power of the late Dolly Parton, Scouting Ireland's future, and CIA chief visits Moscow to urge a Ukraine war deal.Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

Ramón Mercader expected to easily kill Leon Trotsky, silently and instantly. He had rehearsed the blow for months, practiced the angle, tailored a pocket into his raincoat to conceal the shortened ice axe. On August 20, 1940, he stood behind Trotsky -- who was the principle leader of the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution in Russian but exiled by Stalin after losing a power struggle -- in the study of his fortified villa in Coyoacán, Mexico, raised the weapon, and shut his eyes as the blade fell. What followed was not silence but a scream so raw that it froze the room. Trotsky did not collapse. He rose from his chair, seized the assassin's wrist, bit down on his hand, and forced the weapon loose. Blood streaming down his face, he stumbled into the dining room and gave his final order: "He must not be killed. He must be made to talk." He died twenty-six hours later. Thirty years after that, on his own deathbed, Mercader told his wife: "Trotsky is waiting for me on the other side. And he is still screaming." Today's guests are H. Keith Melton and Nigel West, authors of The Assassination of Leon Trotsky: Espionage, Scandal, and the Crime of the Century, the product of fifty years of investigation that took the authors to Moscow, into declassified Soviet intelligence files, and into the homes of the operatives' families. We discuss how Stalin's campaign against Trotsky was not a single plot but a global war of extermination that destroyed his entire family before it destroyed him, how a GPU mole named Sylvia Callen served as the personal secretary to the head of the American Trotskyist movement for nine years without detection, and how the first assassination attempt sprayed over three hundred rounds into Trotsky's bedroom and somehow failed to kill anyone. We look at how the assassin's convent-educated mother directed the backup plot that succeeded, why Ramón Mercader maintained his false identity inside a Mexican prison for a decade despite relentless interrogation, and how new medical evidence suggests Trotsky might have survived the attack if his doctors had operated differently. The authors argue that Trotsky's assassination was not a historical anomaly but a template for state-directed political murder that continues to echo from the Litvinenko poisoning to the Skripal attack today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's Headlines: We're almost to the weekend and we're starting off with tech and medical science. Meta settled its youth addiction trial for $17 billion paid over ten years across 47 states — with new safety requirements for minors including time limits, night mode, and hidden like counts. Of course the company's stock went up after the settlement, which tells you everything about who won. Bill Gates published a 5,784-word AI warning blog post saying there is "no plan" for the transition to the AI era, too late the hero, Bill. In medical news, the FDA approved a new pancreatic cancer drug that nearly doubles survival time compared to chemo alone — genuinely significant given that disease kills 7 out of 8 patients within five years — though at $40,000 a month, accessibility will be an issue. On the food safety beat, an emergency recall was issued for nearly 30,000 pounds of Argentinian beef sold in Florida and Texas, as Trump simultaneously told Glenn Beck he wants to reduce regulations on beef processing plants. During that same Glenn Beck call, Trump attempted to mourn Dolly Parton and ended up mostly saying she liked him, sure. Meanwhile, The CIA director's Moscow visit turned out to involve Russian intelligence officials rather than Putin directly, with the stated purpose being to warn Russia not to attack NATO — while Iran and Russia simultaneously announced a $25 billion nuclear energy deal and a Putin-Pezeshkian summit next week, so it's going great. In bizarre election news, a federal prisoner currently serving time in New York until 2036 somehow got enough votes in Alaska's primary to run for the House in November, listing a South Dakota address and his mother's New York phone number on his filing paperwork, because Alaska's elections are genuinely something else. And finally, a massive mudslide on the Nepal-Tibet border has killed over 150 people with hundreds more missing including 47 American tourists, rescue helicopters unable to land, and climate change-driven permafrost thaw making the damage significantly worse.

Trump starts a trade war with Canada, announces “Economic D-Day” against Iran, while Russia deploys AI killer drones in Ukraine.Tommy and Ben break down the collapse of US-Canada trade negotiations, the politics animating Prime Minister Mark Carney's tough talk, and why a trade war carries long-term economic risks for Canada. Then the Trump administration threatens an “Economic D-Day” against Iran, which so far seems like an empty threat. In Ukraine, Russia has deployed autonomous drones that select their own targets using artificial intelligence, while CIA Director John Ratcliffe makes a mysterious trip to Moscow, and British Prime Minister Andy Burnham makes his first foreign trip to Kyiv and promises long-range missiles. The Pentagon fires the publisher, editor-in-chief, and a reporter from the military's own newspaper, “Stars and Stripes,” for speaking about the importance of editorial independence. And the guys dig into the rise of El Salvador's Nayib Bukele as the unlikely standard-bearer for a new wave of hard-right Latin American leaders, and show some terrifying and funny videos from the 2026 World Humanoid Robot Games. Then Ben interviews award-winning filmmaker Poh Si Teng and Dr. Feroze Sidhwa about the new documentary, American Doctor, that exposes the gut-wrenching experiences of doctors who went to Gaza to help, and the battle to force change back in Washington, D.C.Hate listening to ads?

The only likely way to end the nightmare of Trump—and Republicans supporting him no matter how much he ruins the country—is for Democrats to win in Republican-leaning states and congressional districts. That means giving moderates the grace to compete for people who voted for Trump. Likewise, moderates also need to recognize that the left will be swing voters in key races this election cycle. Plus: the online brawl over Hasan Piker, Scott Jennings' desperate campaign to be the new White House press secretary, Trump is widening his attack on the First Amendment to research institutions, and Rob Sand is breaking the candidate mold in Iowa.Epic poster and Center for American Progress president Neera Tanden joins Tim Miller.show notes: The Center for American Progress website 'Take' on the CIA director's trip to Moscow (with Weiss & Polymeropoulos) Neera's busy Twitter feed Jonathan Martin's interview with gubernatorial candidate Rob Sand

Legendary Dolly Parton is gone. She died Tuesday at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville, surrounded by loved ones, four days after she was admitted. The type of cancer was not disclosed. Team Dolly said she spent her life putting joy, laughter, hope, and integrity into everything she touched and that her generosity reached people she would never meet. She donated hundreds of millions of books through the Imagination Library. A girl from a two-room cabin in the Smokies who wrote "Jolene" and "9 to 5," and she still wanted to be remembered as the book lady. Pat and the crew take the news the way a lot of regular Americans are taking it: not as another celebrity recap, but as the loss of someone who felt like she belonged to the whole country. The quiet health fight. The nephew who had been asked years ago to record the goodbye. Flags at half-staff. And the part that landed hardest — she kept working, kept joking, and kept mailing books to other people's children until the end. Pat also covered: Day 74: Mitch McConnell still holding America hostage WNBA team Chicago Sky ban Enes Freedom from home games Trump wants Lake Ontario renamed “Lake America” after the Canada trade fight went nuclear Iran puts a $10 million bounty on Barron Trump Trump throws more gas on Ilhan Omar marrying her brother Did Dolly Parton represent something America doesn't make anymore?
