I remember when they claimed they found 30,000. This is pathetic. First of all, I doubt all the charged are actually noncitizens. Secondly, the number is nowhere close to that which would change any election’s outcome.

The California Supreme Court on Thursday ordered a sheriff to return more than 600,000 ballots he seized from #election officials, finding that he lacked the authority to review them based on a thin allegation of fraud.

Horrible

A #Texas court has slashed the $50 million judgment to $1.5 million against Infowars founder #AlexJones over falsely calling 2012 #SandyHook #SchoolShooting a hoax.

The ruling does not affect a $1.4 billion judgement against Jones in Connecticut, but is a significant legal victory for Jones after he & his company, Free Speech Systems, were found liable for damages for claiming the #MassShooting didn’t happen.

#Trump wants a new meeting with #KimJongUn. #NorthKorea says not so fast.

Why would Kim? He’s got nothing to gain from a date with his fanboy.

Trump says he wants to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un later this year. But his overtures have drawn a frosty response from Pyongyang, suggesting it will set tough conditions to hold such a meeting even *if* the two men have an "excellent" relationship.
