“WaPo is reporting that a former convicted January 6th insurrectionist has now been hired by the Pentagon for a role that manages HIGHLY CLASSIFIED military operations. .....Its portfolio includes operations such as embassy security, personnel recovery and hostage rescue."

One of the few times a journalist actually stood up to the convicted felon with a simple question: ...“Do you regret all the lying you've done to the American people?"

"A gas tax holiday talks about 18.4 cents while ignoring the $1.50 problem. ...That's politics, not policy. ...And half of it likely goes straight to oil company profits. Congress knows this. ....Some just hope that you don't."
