A sticker spotted on the back of a street sign in Lancaster, Pa. It's a circular, maroon-colored sticker with 5 words in white all-caps letters. The words are: "My other hat is tinfoil."

For years, that official, Heather Honey, directed an effort to challenge the state’s 2020 results.”
Happy birthday to John McPhee -- 95 years young.
"Her bank records, which are in the files, showed that Noel received thousands of dollars in cash and Zelle payments in the months before Epstein died." Wow.
It took 6.5 years for this info to come out ...
