…from the Senior Editor OK, yesterday I took Trump’s ‘mental competency’ test. What it doesn’t do is test for intelligence, perception or sanity.

Video two will test Trump’s memory, he doesn’t have one. Do watch the Saudi piece, video 2… #SaudiTrump had enough cognitive ability to know you shouldn’t support the people who funded 9/11.

The number lives claimed by Covid-19 in the United States surpassed 110,000 on Sunday afternoon, according to the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University. The unprecedented milestone is clearly a somber one, yet the full scope of 110,000 lives lost remains hard to imagine. In an effort to try and visualize the loss, we compared the death toll to populations of states’ capitals below the 110,000 person threshold. The result, presented below, are 19 states whose entire populations of their capital city pale in comparison to our country’s coronavirus mortalities over the past five months. Source […]
