ABC World News Tonight Tells HALF A STORY on Presidential Campaign Endorsements

ABC News, the most Regime-servile of the news organizations, performed a presidential campaign roundup that only reported on one of two presidential endorsements offered today. Of course, the endorsement reported on is the one most favorable to the Regime. Watch as ABC’s Terry Moran enthusiastically chronicles the endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris by over 200 Romney, Bush, McCain alumni:     TERRY MORAN: And some good news for Harris, more than 200 former staffers of the previous three Republican presidential nominees, that’s Mitt Romney, the late John McCain, and George W. Bush, have come out and endorsed Kamala Harris, saying that for them, quote, “the alternative is untenable”. “Good news”, says Moran of the endorsement of these 200 former staffers.

Newcastle sold a defender for £90k, now he has more career goals than Isak

Newcastle United will be hoping to have a better season this term compared to 2023/24, where they missed out on the top four in the Premier League while exiting Europe before Christmas. Key to their success will be whether Alexander Isak can maintain the form he displayed last season, as his presence will be key for Eddie Howe if the club wishes to finish in the European spots. Despite being only 24, Isak has scored 108 goals during his senior career, not a bad statistic at all. Newcastle have had plenty of players in recent years who have managed to notch up a fair number of goals in their careers, some with the club and several elsewhere. One player who has enjoyed an excellent career after leaving the Magpies is defender James Tavernier, who has even more goals than Isak. How much Newcastle sold James Tavernier for After making just ten appearances for the Toon during the early part of his career, Tavernier sought a club where first team opportunities would be at a premiu...
