This is a fucking lie.
In Virginia, you have the option of “protected voter” status specifically to avoid revealing personal address. The Millers qualify.
She’s a liar.

In mid 2025, I was told by Eastern European business people Donald Jr. went around telling them "Let's do deals fast, as we have time into November 2026".
In other words, the outcome was predictable to them when it wasn't to most. Makes you wonder why.

Among other things, Gor thinks Euromaidan was a CIA-backed coup and he wasn’t shy about telling Republicans this before Trump 2. His appointment as Secretary of State would be quite the confirmation hearing. That he went to lengths to hide his Tashkent birth for so many years would certainly come up. Dmitriev would be thrilled with this development, though.
NEW: With a Trump admin reshuffle expected, confidante Sergio Gor is expected to rise. 10 sources says he's laid the groundwork for months, with potential posts ranging from White House chief of staff to top roles at State - even Rubio's!

Turns out it doesn't rain here every day..and people are catching on. The area between Vancouver, B.C., to Portland is expected to add 3.4 million people by 2050.

Democrats literally just need to pass bills like:
The Donald Trump $20/hr Minimum Wage Bill
The Donald Trump ACA "TrumpCare" Subsidy Bill
The Donald Trump SNAP Bill
The Donald Trump Student Loan Forgiveness Bill
Trump will not veto them.

Browder: Russia is doing a de facto general conscription, picking people up off the street for traffic violations and throwing them into battle.

Bummer. Alaska might be too close to call. "With such a narrow margin separating the candidates, the race could hinge on ballots that were mailed or have to be flown from remote communities. The state will accept ballots up to November 18." reuters.com/world/us/whats-n…
