The Radical GOP in Texas is committing voter suppression again and getting away with it. Meidas Contributor Texas Paul reacts to attempts by Voting advocacy groups like the Campaign Legal Center and Texas ACLU to sue the Radical Republicans in Texas, and pleads for voters to make sure their own ballots have not been purged.
A driver involved in a car accident in Los Angeles gave rubberneckers something to gawk at when he got out of his vehicle naked at the scene, video shows. The two-vehicle crash occurred shortly before 12:30 p.m. Thursday, police said.
A bystander’s footage shows a naked man then exiting the blue truck via the passenger door. He does not appear to be injured and is holding some clothing in one hand. The man, who has not been identified, calmly walks up the street and drops the clothing.
See this really is not that hard. It is simple respect. Hugs.
In this guide, we explain everything you’ve wanted to know about gender-neutral pronouns and gender pronouns as a whole, as well as provide a list of pronouns used today.
In the English language, we have masculine and feminine pronouns, which can be difficult for people who don’t identify as male or female. In recent years, there has been a push to add more gender-neutral pronouns into the English language. If you’re not sure what these are, or you’re unclear about how to use them, read on.
Here, we explain everything you need to know about gender-neutral pronouns and gender pronouns as a whole, as well as provide a list of pronouns used today.
Pronouns are words that are used to substitute nouns in a sentence. We also use pronouns to refer to people other than their names.
In English, we have the pronouns he/him/his to refer to people who identify as men and the pronouns she/her/hers for people who identify as women.
Gender-neutral Pronouns
Gender-neutral pronouns are pronouns that are often used by a speaker when referring to someone whose gender is unknown. The most common example of gender-neutral pronouns is the singular they/them/theirs pronouns.
For example, you can say “Someone left a package outside your door. They didn’t leave a note though.” or “I called a plumber to check out the sink. I’m expecting them at 4 pm.”
Gender-neutral pronouns are also often used by non-binary and gender non-conforming people who don’t strictly identify as either male or female.

Neopronouns
Although the singular “they” is the most popular gender-neutral pronoun, there are several other options out there. The term “neopronouns” describes a new category of gender-neutral pronouns that are used as an alternative to they/them/theirs pronouns.
Some examples of neopronouns include ey/em/eirs and ze/zir/zirs.
Rolling Pronouns
Some gender non-conforming and transmasculine/transfeminine people prefer using more than one set of pronouns. These are called rolling pronouns and can be used alternately in a sentence or across separate sentences.
Some people prefer using different sets of pronouns on different days depending on how they identify. This is particularly true for people who identify as genderfluid or whose gender is in a constant state of flux.
Examples of people who use rolling pronouns include actor Elliot Page (he/they), singer Halsey (she/they), and Queer Eye’s grooming expert Jonathan Van Ness (she/they/he).
List Of Gender Pronouns

Why Do Pronouns Matter?
Pronouns are personal identifiers, just like people’s names. By respecting someone’s pronouns, you show the person that you respect who they are and how they identify.
This is particularly important for transgender and non-binary people who may wrestle with gender dysphoria – a feeling of discomfort or distress associated with the mismatch between their sex assigned at birth and gender identity. For these people, being referred to with the correct pronouns can help alleviate that dysphoria, increase their self-esteem, and improve their overall sense of self.
Using people’s correct pronouns – and talking about the importance of doing so – also encourages others to follow suit. This paves the way for more inclusive attitudes towards gender-expansive people.

How To Be Respectful Of Other People’s Pronouns
It goes without saying that you should never purposefully misgender someone if you already know their personal pronouns. But how else can you be inclusive and respectful of other people’s pronouns?
Never Assume A Person’s Pronouns Based On How They Look
In the same way that we shouldn’t assume people’s genders based on how they look, we also shouldn’t assume what other people’s pronouns are. Doing so can reinforce harmful gender stereotypes.
Offer Your Pronouns When Meeting Someone New
Most people assume that only LGBTQ people share their gender pronouns. But having a list of pronouns isn’t just an LGBTQ thing.
Again, by being open about our own gender pronouns, we can normalize the idea of sharing pronouns. This makes it easier for transgender and gender non-conforming people to share their pronouns with others and helps them feel safe to share their pronouns with you.
Apologize When You Get Someone’s Pronouns Wrong
It may be challenging to get the hang of using someone’s personal pronouns, especially if you’re used to referring to someone in a certain way. As such, try not to panic if you accidentally address someone with the wrong pronouns.
But you also have to assure the other person that you are not purposefully misgendering them. When doing so, it is best to apologize quickly and avoid making a fuss over the blunder. You don’t want to call attention to the situation or put the other person in an awkward or uncomfortable spot.

Add Your Gender Pronouns To Your Social Media Bios, Email Signatures, Etc.
One easy way to encourage the use of personal pronouns is by adding them to your social media bio, email signature, business card, etc. This can encourage others to follow suit and signals to transgender and non-binary friends and colleagues that you are an ally they can trust.
Avoid Phrases Like ‘Preferred Pronouns’
You may have heard the term “preferred pronouns” in reference to gender pronouns. While this is fairly common, many in the trans and non-binary community try to avoid this language, as it suggests that their correct pronouns are merely a preference or a suggestion. Instead, try using words like “personal pronouns” or, simply, “pronouns”.
Did You Enjoy Our List Of Pronouns?
Words matter. Language helps us understand parts of ourselves and allows us to communicate who we are to other people. As such, everyone needs to recognize that other people’s pronouns, much like their name and gender identity, should be acknowledged and respected.

All these anti-trans bills that allowed the inspection of kid’s genitals if they are suspected of being trans. What is the justification for mislabeling them? They are better than their peers, they have natural gifts that make them better. This is why the trans women in women sports are stealing the right wins from women is so stupid. What now separating out the ones taller as unfair, separating out the stronger ones as unfair. See how idiotic this has become. All because of bigotry and hate. Hugs
She’s cisgender, but that didn’t stop parents from saying she “doesn’t look feminine enough” and starting a state investigation.
Parents of the girls who got second and third place in a sporting event filed complaints to have the first-place winner investigated for her gender. The first-place girl is cis.
David Spatafore of the Utah High School Activities Association (UHSAA) is in charge of enforcing the state’s new ban on transgender girls participating in school sports as their gender. While he wouldn’t reveal the sport she played or the school she attended in order to protect her privacy, he said that he was forced to investigate her gender after the parents of two losing student-athletes complained.
He said that he also received some other complaints about her, including one that said, “That female athlete doesn’t look feminine enough.”
“The school went back to kindergarten and she’d always been a female,” Spatafore said.
LGBTQ advocates have been warning for years that transgender sports bans could be used by the families of losing student-athletes to attack winners. Some states, like Idaho, require genital examinations in their sports bans. Such requirements would have subjected the student under investigation to an unnecessary and invasive examination.
Utah passed its transgender sports ban earlier this year and this case is one of the first to test the law. Spatafore said that school records are enough to satisfy the law’s requirements “because if all of the questions about eligibility were answered by the school or the feeder system schools, there was no reason to make it a personal situation with a family or that athlete.”
Spatafore said that UHSAA is trying to follow the new ban.
“Quite frankly, this is new ground for us,” he told the Deseret News. “I’m not going to say that we have it down pat, because I have no clue. I don’t think any of us in the office have a clue if we have it down pat. What we want to do is we just want to try to do our job.”
The state legislature passed H.B. 11, the transgender sports ban, earlier this year. In March, Gov. Spencer Cox (R) vetoed the bill, saying that it “will likely bankrupt the Utah High School Athletic Association and result in millions of dollars in legal fees for local school districts.” The legislature overrode his veto.
In June, the families of two transgender girls in the state filed a lawsuit challenging the sports ban, arguing that the bill was “based on unfounded stereotypes, fears, and misconceptions about girls who are transgender. It is not supported by medical or scientific evidence.”
This is what the anti-trans rhetoric creates. A culture where harming LGBTQ+ is done for fun, again to make them shut up and go away. Decades of working for tolerance and acceptance are being wiped out by the open racism and bigotry of the republicans and the rabid right thugs. I watched the video she did on this and her treatment by the police was horrifying. She woke up with guns in her face, she was arrested, booked under her dead name, the police were horribly anti-trans and homophobic. Hugs
Clara Sorrenti went into hiding at a hotel out of fear for her safety. The trolls started to send her pizzas to let her know they found her.
Weeks after online trolls sent police to her door on false pretenses, popular transgender Twitch streamer and activist Clara Sorrenti was once again doxed.
Earlier this month, Sorrenti, who goes by the name Keffals on social media, was the victim of a tactic known as “swatting.” Police raided her London, Ontario home and arrested her after someone using her deadname reportedly sent violent threats to local city hall officials. She was released without charges and later cleared of all wrongdoing. London police chief Steve Williams said that he will review how officers treated Sorrenti, who says she was consistently addressed with her deadname, which is not her legal name.
“The hotel I was staying at got doxed so I had to move hotels,” Sorrenti told Canada’s Global News. “Five different pizza companies sent pizzas to my hotel room in my (birth) name. Obviously, the pizza itself isn’t the problem. It’s the threat they send by telling me they know where I live and are willing to act on it in the real world.”
Sorrenti, who was a Communist Party candidate in Canada’s 2019 federal election and frequently posts about trans issues on her Twitch channel, has been the target of relentless anti-transgender harassment. In July, Twitch banned Sorrenti from the platform after a stream she was doing highlighting examples of the hateful abuse she receives was mass reported by trolls.
Sorrenti speculates that online trolls may have managed to find her using a photo she posted of her fiancée’s cat on their hotel bed following the swatting ordeal.
“The people who have been harassing me [must have] spent hours looking at the bedsheets, cross-referencing them with every hotel in my city until they found a match,” she said.
London Police Service is investigating both the swatting and doxing.
“We’re concerned,” deputy police chief Trish McIntyre said. “It’s harassment. Is it police’s responsibility to investigate those occurrences? One hundred percent. We’re aware of them, they’re under investigation.”
The Republican Party of Lawrence County, Alabama recently posted an image on its Facebook account containing white hoods associated with the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), a white supremacist terrorism organization.
The image — which showed the silhouette of a roaring elephant, the Republican Party mascot — was posted alongside a message thanking the former county party chairman for his “countless hours leading the local GOP to represent your conservative values.”
However, the white triangles between the elephant’s legs had eye holes added to them, giving them the image of the white hoods that KKK members wear during their rallies to stay anonymous while striking fear in the hearts of non-white people.
The image was an original piece of art created in 2020 by the left-leaning political publication Mother Jones for an article discussing racism in the Republican Party. The article’s headline was “The Republican Party Is Racist and Soulless. Just Ask This Veteran GOP Strategist.” Its tagline read, “Stuart Stevens says he now realizes the hatred and bigotry of Trumpism were always at the heart of the GOP.”
The Lawrence County Republican Party removed the image from its Facebook page and its chairwoman Shanon Terry said that the image was found during a Google search and was “immediately replaced” once the party realized that it contained KKK imagery.
“I would like to offer a deep and sincere apology for a picture that temporarily appeared on this page last night,” Terry wrote in a public apology. “A google search picture of a GOP elephant was used and later found to have hidden images that do not represent the views or beliefs of the Lawrence County Republican Party. As chairman, I take full responsibility for the error.”
In response to the party’s use of the image, Black Alabama state Rep. Anthony Daniels (D) published a tweet showing the party’s use of the image. Daniels wrote, “Shame on the Lawrence County Republican Party for this disgusting image.”
However, Terry said she would not be resigning as the county party’s chairperson over the incident.
“I regret the mistake that was made, and it was just that – an unintended mistake,” Terry wrote in a statement to WHNT. “The image posted by me on a political Facebook page was not done with any malicious or harmful intent…. My error was rushing to post a thank you note to the outgoing chairperson, in doing so I did not properly review a cut and paste image…. I do not support or agree with any hate group agenda and certainly would not try to further their cause.”
The Republican Party has long used racist anger against non-white people excite its mostly white voting base. This has included using language against “inner city crime,” “welfare cheats,” and “immigrants” as dog whistles against poorer and non-white people. The former President Donald Trump also encouraged such racist views by praising white supremacist organizations and associated groups who supported him.
The Lawrence County NAACP has announced that it will hold a press conference about the image on Friday.
Please note she was offended that a few people could get a book she liked removed but feels it is fine if one person’s complaints get LGBTQ+ books removed. Please take note of the last paragraph, they now want to push their ideology of white supremacy and other hatreds in libraries and schools. Hugs
“The fact that because one person or three people put the Bible on the list [is] absolutely horrifying!” she said.
Fox News hosts have expressed outrage over the Bible being removed from school library shelves in a Texas school district, claiming that the book should be allowed, even though it contains stories of incest and violence and promotes slavery, the subjugation of women, and the murder of LGBTQ people.
The Fox News panel also said that banning the Bible from schools furthers a Democratic plot, even though the school district’s home county traditionally votes Republican.
The Christian religious text was removed by the Keller Independent School District’s Book Challenge Committee this week because it was challenged for having “sexual content and violence” along with 40 other books, most of which featured Black and LGBTQ characters. The district’s school principals were told to keep the books off of library shelves until the district has completed its review of each book’s appropriateness for student readers.
The four female and one male hosts on Fox News’ talk show Outnumbered expressed outrage over the book’s removal.
“Over the last 50 years, nearly four billion copies [of the Bible] have been sold,” show panelist and former press secretary of President Donald Trump Kayleigh McEnany said. “Compare that to Harry Potter, which is number three at 400 million…. Not only that, foundation of the world’s largest religion. A classic historical text. If you don’t believe it in the religious context, at least it can be appreciated in that context. But that’s the one we’re removing!”
“What’s so difficult to digest here is that the whim of a few has such an impact on the many,” co-host Emily Compagno said, even though the other several dozen books were pulled from the shelves because of the complaints of several parents and activists. “This is literature that this school should be exposed to…. The fact that because one person or three people put the Bible on the list [is] absolutely horrifying…. School administrators need to step up and say absolutely not… Every day without the Bible is a day lost!”
While Compagno said that students should be exposed to the Bible as a historic text, none of the Fox News panelists addressed the fact that the Bible has lots of explicit violent and sexual content.
The Bible has a story about two daughters who get their dad drunk and have sex with him — it’s in the Book of Genesis. The book of Ezekiel includes a woman who fondly remembers her lover as having “the penis like a donkey and a flood of semen like a horse.”
The book also says it’s okay to kill women who have pre-marital sex, to smear animal feces on the faces of lazy priests, and that it’s okay to own and beat slaves.
In short, it’s highly likely that if these stories were in any other books, conservatives would want to ban them.
“Taking the Bible out of schools then furthers the political goal that we know already exists,” co-host Harris Faulkner said. “They want to, on one side of the political aisle, remove things like, you know, the pledge of allegiance and things that have the word God and so on and so forth.”
Despite the panel’s claims that other people – “they” – want to “remove things” from schools, Republican politicians, conservative school boards, and so-called “parents’ rights” groups have dramatically escalated attempts to ban so-called “controversial” books from school, according to a recent report from the free-speech organization PEN America. Most of the books feature educational content about LGBTQ identities and anti-racism.
Keller Independent School District has been at the center of several controversies when it comes to banning books this past year, with conservative activists accusing the school of having “legitimate visual porn” available to students, referring to books with LGBTQ themes. The outrage conservatives expressed at Keller was followed by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) order a state board to check if schools are distributing pornography to minors.
Moms for Liberty, one of the national conservative groups pushing to ban LGBTQ books, has started pressuring public school libraries across the country to “accept book donations from conservative publishing companies that promote white supremacist, homophobic, and transphobic ideologies,” Vice News reported.
Told you this was coming. It is all about driving public opinion that there is something wrong and bad about LGBTQ+ people / kids. They should be around normal good kids. Drive them back into hiding. Regress the country to the 1950s. This was not about teacher talking students into be gay or trans. It was about demonizing and attacking the gay and trans kids. Hugs
She said LGBTQ students are “like for example children with autism, Down Syndrome” and should have “specialized” classes.

An anti-LGBTQ Moms for Liberty activist told MSNBC that she believes LGBTQ students should have separate classes from straight and cisgender students in schools.
Field Report with Paola Ramos aired last week and discussed the rightward movement among Latino voters, especially in Florida. Ramos met with a group of Moms for Liberty activists.
Moms for Liberty gained notoriety during the pandemic as they attended and protested school board meetings to oppose mask mandates and LGBTQ inclusivity in schools. The group’s past exploits include offering bounties for people who turn in teachers who discuss “divisive topics,” attacking the Trevor Project for trying to prevent LGBTQ teen suicide, trying to get a book about seahorses banned for being too sexy, and saying that two girls briefly kissing at a school function is “lewd” and “traumatic.” The group lobbied in Florida for the Don’t Say Gay bill.
“The kids that do have their, you know, they’re confused, or they are gay or whatnot,” said Moms for Liberty Miami-Dade member Crystal Alonso, “that the way they’re trying to go about it is to make it an open conversation and an open thing in classrooms.”
“But like for example children with autism, Down Syndrome, they have to have special IP meetings with a counselor, they have to be put into separate classrooms. I understand, because it’s a different type of education for children with those disabilities, but I think that for children that identify differently, there should also be like a specialized… something for them, so that they feel that they’re important enough that they’re being counseled.”
Ramos pushed back and suggested having that conversation “in front of everyone.”
“I think for the same reason why teachers wouldn’t just bring a child with autism in front of the class and be like, hey, he’s got autism,” Alonso responded. “Embarrassment….”
“What is, in your eyes, embarrassing about being gay?” Ramos asked.
“It’s not that it’s something to be embarrassed about, but you, I mean, I’m sure that you understand a lot of kids that are young and feel gay, some of them are shamed,” Alonso said.
“Because they can’t openly talk about it in their classrooms,” Ramos said.
“Right, which I understand, but there’s just a way to go about it so that everybody is respected.”
Later in the show, Moms for Liberty Miami-Dade chapter chair Eulalia Jimenez said that kids are being “influenced to be gay.”
“I believe that the gay community has felt invalidated and left out,” she said. “And, rightfully so, they want their place.”
“But again, why does this need to be imposed on young children?”

Yesterday Ron was not feeling well and went to take a nap all afternoon. I stepped up to help by making supper. I made videos of it that I will post later, someday. I took some grilled chicken Ron had seasoned and cooked on the grill and made a chicken chili out of it with my own mixture of seasoning. Everyone here loved it. But the effort was so painful I had to take extra medications and then went to bed with very little in my stomach. So long story short, we went for our walk this morning, something that all my doctors claim is helping my health / blood work, then got showered and went out to vote. *** yes we went to vote in the primary in our district in Florida.*** But there was a problem. After our walk my pain levels soared and my back gave out. I simply couldn’t stand more than a couple minutes. In the house I was using my canes. But I knew that I couldn’t stand for the length of time we had to do in the last time we went to vote, also I knew I couldn’t stand to mark the ballot. I was in so much pain Ron had to drive. So I did something I don’t like to do, I took my walker. Yes I hate to admit it, but I use a walker when the muscles in my back won’t support me or I cannot stand for any length of time.
Ron drove us to the voting place, which was unusual in that normally I drive, but my pain levels were too high for me to safely do so. Ron got out and brought my walker to me which really was not necessary I felt, I could walk to the trunk. Little did I know how soon my back would fail.
The difference between the lower income minority districts in Florida we used to go to early voting years ago and this new facility in a majority white area I have posted about before. I have told how I simply couldn’t stand in line and the obstructions to get mail in ballots it took to simply vote that year almost stopped Ron and I from being able to vote. But the difference between that to the early voting in our area now is stunning.
First plenty of parking and even if Ron had not found a handicap parking space right near the door, we still would have had lots of space to park. (Unlike the other place that had no parking that Ron had to drop me off and then go to park blocks away) Then as we walked up to the three set of entry doors a worker inside hit a switch that automatically opened the door for us seeing I was using my walker. After we entered, I thanked that person and without looking asked where I should go to vote. The signs and staff that were lined up should have given the hint. However, a staff member came forward and took Ron and I right to the voting room, but there was no line so if they had simply pointed, we would have found it. But the thing is my need for my walker triggered a lot of extra care. The worker took us to the door and a second worker took me right to the check in person only 20 feet across the room. She could have pointed but she walked with me there. There was no line at that time, and it was about 15 minutes after they opened. Then at the check-in I gave my information and had to sit on the seat of my walker, my back was so stressed I couldn’t stand even for that.
After I showed my driver’s license and signed the pad saying it was me, there was something new. The poll worker still had my driver’s license and asked me to mimic the signature on the license as best as I could on the pad with either my finger or the stylus. I never have been able to sign the tablet sign things either in the pharmacy or my doctor’s office that use them with my finger. It comes out squiggly lines. However the signature on my driver’s license is really good and readable. So she explained it and flipped the screen to me, I stood up and standing on shaky legs I tried to sign my name. I was a disaster, and I admit it. A bunch of hoops and loops with a few letters being readable. I apologized and said I would try again when this nice older white lady said without even turning the screen back to her that it was OK, the signatures matched. I thanked her.
After we left I asked Ron if he had the same thing and he said yes but that the poll worker did turn the screen around and look to verify his. So this is the perfect way to stop someone from voting that the poll worker from whatever party doesn’t want to vote. No matter what they do the signature won’t match! Remember the republican anti-democratic party wants to prevent any non-white republican voters from being able to vote and has put a lot of money into training poll workers how to block “those voters”.
The nice poll worker printed my ballot and gave me the ballot, added a cover for it, and a pen, and said “Thank you for voting”. I had already thanked her for being a poll worker as we need as many people willing to do the hard unpaid work of democracy as possible. I stood up and asked if there was a place for me to sit to vote? Normally there are several long tables for disabled voters to sit to do their ballot. The lady told me yes, go all the way to the back of the room. What the Fuck! But I started that way and as I got close another poll worker came up to me and took me to the TWO spots at a small table set aside for those that need to sit to vote in a retirement area of Florida with a senior population. A poorer senior population. The last time I voted there they had three long tables set up for people that needed to sit to fill out the ballot.
This poll worker directed me to the place and made sure I had what I needed to vote. She was also responsible for directing people to the four scanning machines for the ballots, telling them how to insert them, checking to make sure they were read, and then directing them to the door to drop off their ballot sleeve and pen. I think she / that position deserved at least another person to help her.
Ron had chosen the standing voting place as close to the place I was sitting so he could watch when I was done and move with me. We both had the voting list I had done up. Ron told me later he was really concerned because he noticed how shaky I was at the sign in and then going to the table and sitting down. He was not going to leave his voting spot until I got up.
I carefully filled out my ballot, struggled to my feet using my walker, and started to the line marked to turn in your ballot. Ron stepped up behind me. Again the poll worker that had taken me to the small sit down table stepped up and took me to a reader and explained how to insert it, making the others like Ron wait. Then as I did mine she told the other people of which there was only Ron and one other person what to do.
One last example of how different it is in this polling place. When you exit the room they have it set up that you leave a back door and walk around the side of the building back to the parking lot. The poll worker lady taking the sheeves and pens had already taken Ron’s and seeing he was helping me told him, move the strap rope barricading the hallway back to the front so he, meaning me, won’t have to try to walk around, which Ron thanked her and did. We walked out the short distance we came in rather than around the outside of the building.
So we voted in the Florida primaries. Ron thanked me for all the effort I made to vet the candidates, and I thanked him for taking me there and helping me through it. For two old farts who have been together going on 33 years we do OK. But I worry at the traps for those not old white people in voting in Florida. This year DeathSantis has made it even harder for minorities to vote while he and his party claim illegal voting is rampant. Not only has he with the force of government put a strangle hold on minority voting but with his new election police he has chilled any minority voting of those who are not sure they should vote. That should be checked at the polls as it was done for me. But now DeathSantis announces that his election police found 30 felons that voted that shouldn’t have and they will prosecute them. But remember after the 2020 election the state of Florida said there was no illegal voting they could find. What is the goal here? To prevent as much minority voting as possible! Why? Because minorities tend not to vote for the party that claims only white straight Christian cis males have all the rights. It is voter suppression taken to the next level.
OK Now for me and why I have not been online answering comments or posting. Yes when we got home, I sat at my desk and put both computers back online. So much news, so many things I felt I should post. I wanted to get right to it. But my pain levels had a different idea. I went to lay down. I have gotten up at various times during the day and tried to focus on the news and blogging, but the best I could do was to watch videos. I would watch some, go back and lay down. Repeat. Take pain medication. Repeat. I got up and watched a few videos, James made a great supper, and I am writing this post after taking even more pain medication. If I take too much longer to do this Ron may drag me out of my chair to the bedroom to lay down again and go to bed for the night. He got really upset seeing how shaky it was for me to stand at the voting place. He wouldn’t even stop at the local publix to get our flu shots but insisted on taking me home.
Ok going to proofread this and then go to bed as Ron is getting really insistent on it, and hopefully in the morning I can start on the 8 days of comments I have not replied to. Hugs and love to all. Scottie
Trump considering releasing surveillance footage of FBI Mar-a-Lago search
Some allies of former President Donald Trump are urging him to publicly release surveillance footage of FBI agents executing a search warrant on his Mar-a-Lago residence, a proposal that has drawn mixed reaction inside his orbit, CNN has learned.
