13 Former US Congressman George Santos, not exactly regarded as a paragon of truth, has been dropping hints that he has information that will end the Kamala Harris campaign. Santos says he has video of the Democratic US Presidential candidate attending sex parties at P-Diddy's aka Sean Puffy Combs.

In a press release that leaves us with more head-scratching than clarity, Santa Monica College confirmed that the employee who shot a female colleague yesterday, leaving her in critical condition, was, in fact, a suicidal ex-con. The burning question here is simple: what exactly made SMC think this guy was a great hire? Oddly, that critical inquiry doesn't seem to be on SMPD's radar. Following what they describe as a "swift and thorough investigation," SMPD detectives zeroed in on Davon Durell...

In an obvious reference to Kamala's unverified claim that she once worked at a McDonald's, next week, former US President Trump plans to work for the golden arches. TRUMP: "Do you know what I am doing next week? I AM GOING TO A MCDONALDS TO WORK!" he told a rally near Pittsburgh.

"People ask for water, but get body bags. But the bodies are left there to rot. People have not received food or water in six...
