He's a Little Closer to This Now!

We talked about Donnie "Bonespur" Trump getting arrested and booked for his crimes in Georgia. We also talked about Laura Carleton who was murdered for displaying a LGBT+∞ pride flag. There's a lot less Antarctic sea ice than usual, and this is a problem. India landed a probe on the Moon, a Russian lander crashed. Wagner mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin was assassinated. COVID~19 deaths are up 35% over last week, and the EG.5 variant is dominent. The Middle Third is about to end.
