Keep your eye on this: one week later and Russia has still failed to answer the most basic questions about the research scientist at a biological weapons laboratory who died following the release of the plague virus. This does not bode well.

I agree, it's time for Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter to have a new leader.

Flynn and his brother were last spotted in the Republic Srbska working with Russian surrogates. He was also spotted seated next to Vladimir Putin at a festive dinner in Moscow, which he attended without clearing security protocols. He's in the tank.

Usury (ˈyüzh-rē) is the practice of lending money at an unreasonably high, extortionate, or legally forbidden rate of interest—like the 18% that Roger Marshall charged his patients in the absence of a written agreement authorizing it to be charges. www.kansascity.com/news/politic...
