Scott Pelley issues new statement after being fired by CBS for opposing their pro-MAGA bias: “New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”

I haven’t even looked at your other committees yet, I was so disgusted with the spending in just this one.

Tennessee R state house is some of the worse white men in our country. And that's saying slot considering Florida and Texas.

Seems like paying Iran $2.1 billion a week to use the Strait of Hormuz — and getting no nuclear deal — is not as good a deal as trading $1.5 billion of Iran’s own money for the comprehensive nuclear deal that Obama negotiated. And nobody got killed by Obama’s nuclear deal.

It’s wild that MAGA spun out an entire movie in their walnut brains about Biden based entirely on Hunter using the phrase “the big guy”, but the 30,000 Epstein files that mention Trump are just an unfortunate coincidence. There are tree slugs with more critical thinking skills.

Imagine watching these horrors and genuinely believing the US is there to help the Iranian people
