That should be doable, right?

That's how you deal with a scammer, though.

Just tell them you've called the police.

As we've discussed, we've got a ceasefire deal, Israel v Lebanon, but Hezbollah rejects it, which is a bit of a problem, and the strikes continue, which is probably also a bit of a problem.

Education Minister Erica Stanford, after seven o'clock on that, it is coming up quarter to seven.

Trump is facing some actual backlash from a few members of his own Republican Party on some key issues, including this.

At one point, the $1.8 billion fund that Trump had arranged to pay out some of his political allies, perhaps even those who took part in attacks on the US Capitol in January of the 65 years back,

uh was opposed by the democrats then a number of republican pollies agreed saying the fund should be halted trump's acting attorney general shouted down and insulted during a closed door republican meeting just the other day and since then has been saying the fund is kaput look we're not moving forward with the fund we are not moving forward with the fund period we are not moving forward with the fund

Correct.

So controversy done with, right?

No.

When Trump was pressed on this, he refused to pronounce that the payouts actually were dead.

So revenge payouts are not over with.

They're a beautiful thing, says Trump.

So that led the Dems to grind the U.S.

Senate to a halt for hours and hours today as they tried to attach a move to kill the slush fund once and for all to a $70 billion immigration bill.

There were some Republicans who wanted to join with the Democrats on this.

Three Republicans actually signed on with them.

And some others only agreed to fight off this Democratic move because they were planning other ways to kill the slush fund.
