If the Shoe Fits: Trump and the Florsheim You Can’t Refuse The strangely Soviet odor of the week’s weirdest story.

It all began, apparently, with Trump staring at people’s feet at a December Oval Office meeting and abruptly telling his heirs apparent, β€œMarco, JD, you guys have shitty shoes.”

An Iranian backed hacker group, hacked Stryker, a medical business specializing in joint replacements, and other medical devices.

The hackers wiped out Stryker employee emails. On all devices. Including employees who had their work email linked to their personal phones.

While millions are struggling to make ends meet, Donald Trump is exploiting the presidency to get even richer through shady crypto deals and blatant self-dealing.

New "Golden Age" for whom, exactly?

About 15 years ago, someone got promoted suggesting that the parachutes on the KC135 wasted space. They were removed.

Dumb stupid idea then. Could they have saved this crew? Who knows. But would be nice to have the option.

Suspects identified in Fort Campbell stolen drones case, no threat to public The Army has identified two suspects in the theft of four small drones from Fort Campbell last November.

Hmmm.... curiouser and curiouser.

Fort Campbell in KY had 4 drones stolen last November. The army says the theft was a targeted act, with the suspects having authorized access to the military installation.

Didn't Trump say he knew of threats to CA? Hmm... πŸ€”

In latest blunder, Trump DOJ spent months emailing the wrong address demanding Oklahoma’s voter rolls It’s the latest in a continuing string of embarrassing missteps in the Trump DOJ’s nationwide voter roll campaign.

The DOJ spent months emailing the wrong address demanding the voter rolls for Oklahoma.
Last month, the DOJ sued five states, bringing the total number of jurisdictions targeted to 30.

If our votes didn't count, they wouldn't be fighting so hard to suppress them.
