WHERE IS MELANIA? / OMG Adventure

Part 2 of our OMG Adventure follows the further travails of Donald Trump. Someone came up with having his sycophants and potential Veep candidates show up at his trial.  Yesterday, two U.S. senators and a rep, plus.  Today, Speaker Mike Johnson and Vivek Ramaswamy.  Son Eric has been there, and so has his wife, Republican National Committee co-Chair Lara Trump.

Oh, in case you missed it,  Michael Cohen again was on the stand today , with Todd Blanche of the defense attempting to poke holes in his story.  He seems always to be at Trump's side outside of court. No action scheduled for Wednesday.  Final grill

She was 70 years old when the Yom Kippur War started.  She was a chain-smoker who was undergoing secret treatments for lymphoma.  So was not only challenged by the near defeat of Israel, but was herself suffering.  She eventually resigned in 1974 and passed away at the age of 80. Most have forgotten the significance of this war, which caused the first ene
