John Bolton

Yesterday, South Carolina Republican Mark Sanford ended his half-assed primary challenge to Trump. He went out with a whimper.

Multi-million dollar book deal closed!Late yesterday, Bolton's attorney, Charles Cooper, wrote the New York Times' chief White House correspondent Peter Baker, said that his client "would be an important witness in the impeachment inquiry" but he wants a court to rule first now whether he can testify or not.

Refugees, above, from the territory of Western Sahara have been living in Tindouf, Algeria, for decades. Western Sahara is the last colonial outpost in Africa, now occupied by Morocco.

Despite his disgusting Trumpist sentiments, West, according to Rolling Stone "is estimated to be the highest-paid hip-hop act of 2019 with $150 million in pre-tax earnings...
