Like Old Balls would know. It's TABS!
More than 3100 people died of coronavirus yestertoday. Presumably you already knew that. What's that, it's one week after Thanksgiving, you say? Well nobody could have foreseen that.

You still can't make me watch it, and he doesn't matter anymore, but at least this is a very, very good hard news lede, only four years late.
Increasingly detached from reality, President Donald Trump stood before a White House lectern and delivered a 46-minute diatribe against the election results that produced a win for Democrat Joe Biden, unspooling one misstatement after another to back his baseless claim that he really won.

And here's some crooked Hawaii (!)
