I wonder if we'll get another funny photo like the last time they met in Singapore a few months back.

BREAKING: AP fires reporter responsible for fake story alleging Russian missiles hit Poland​


The retracted story alleged that a senior US intelligence official said that Russian missiles "crossed into NATO member Poland, killing two people."

The Associated Press has reportedly fired journalist Jim LaPorta, who was one of two bylines that ran with the false report that Russian missiles hit Poland. The only source of that story was anonymous, which goes against AP's policy.

The retracted story alleged that a senior US intelligence official said that Russian missiles "crossed into NATO member Poland, killing two people."

The story was taken down the next day and replaced with an editor's note stating that the story was false and that "subsequent reporting showed that the missiles were Russian-made and most likely fired by Ukraine in defense against a Russian attack."

Oh ya. I forgot to post it.

Railway Union rejected the Mid Term election deal Biden gave them in September. Earliest Strike = Dec 5th.

I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to buy holiday gifts earlier as a precaution if you need them.

Rail union rejects contract as strike threatens U.S. economy before holidays​

One of the largest railroad unions narrowly voted to reject a contract deal brokered by the White House, bringing the country once again closer to a rail strike that could paralyze much of the economy ahead of the holidays, union officials announced on Monday.

The union SMART Transportation Division voted the deal down by 50.9 percent, the union said. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, which represents engineers, announced 53.5 percent of members voted to ratify the deal. The two are considered among the most politically powerful of the 12 rail unions in contract discussions.

A national rail strike, which could happen as early as Dec. 5, would threaten the nation’s coal shipments and its supply of drinking water, while shutting down passenger rail and shipment of goods as the holiday season revs up. The U.S. economy could lose $2 billion a day if railroad workers strike, according to the Association of American Railroads.
