Former CNN anchor Don Lemon taken into custody, sources say - www.cbsnews.com/.../

STATEMENT FROM ABBE LOWELL,
ATTORNEY FOR DON LEMON
“Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards. Don has been a journalist for 30 years, and his constitutionally protected work in Minneapolis was no different than what he has always done. The First Amendment exists to protect journalists whose role it is to shine light on the truth and hold those in power accountable. There is no more important time for people like Don to be doing this work.
Instead of investigating the federal agents who killed two peaceful Minnesota protesters, the Trump Justice Department is devoting its time, attention and resources to this arrest, and that is the real indictment of wrongdoing in this case. This unprecedented attack on the First Amendment and transparent attempt to distract attention from the many crises facing this administration will not stand. Don will fight these charges vigorously and thoroughly in court.”

After more than a hundred years of minting the Lincoln head cent, the US mint has stopped minting pennies in 2026. It makes economic sense to stop since it cost the mint almost 3 cents to produce a coin valued at 1 cent. Other countries stopped minting cents years ago, Australia and New Zealand in the 1990s and Canada in 2012.

2025 is the last regular mint year you will see, though special 250th Anniversary pennies (American Independence was declared in 1776) are planned to be minted in limited quantities for collectors in 2026, not for general circulation.

So... the question must be asked...

What will you do with the pennies that you have?

There are many conspiracy theories. Some are believed by many and some are believed by no one.

Of the many conspiracy theories out there, which one do you feel is believed by the most people?

Please vote in the poll.

Iran must do the following:

1) Give up Nuclear program , missiles and energy

2) They must give weapons like missiles

3) Can't punish protesters

Now Israel can attack Iran anytime they want. No restrictions on Israel.

Now would agree to those terms or fight?

Also in a poll when asked who is the most dangerous world leader for Peace and Trump finished 1st at nearly 50%.

Interesting question, isn't it? For what it's worth, I accepted all of the unprecedented economic and social damage the COVID lockdowns caused because the lockdowns saved lives. And to throw another caveat into the question, deporting an illegal immigrant who otherwise would have killed an American doesn't save a life if the same illegal immigrant kills someone in another country once deported.
