| | rantnrave:// I have no issue with MEGYN KELLY interviewing ALEX JONES. STONE PHILLIPS interviewed JEFFREY DAHMER years ago. We need to know about our monsters because they're our monsters. Now, would I have preferred that DAHMER had eaten JONES years ago? Metaphorically, yes. INFOWARS wouldn't exist. I don't wish physical ill on people (I don't think I do). Re: SANDY HOOK. If Jones' family was murdered by one of his nutty audience and others claimed it was a hoax with actors and all, what would his family say? He's a monster spewing lies on a gullible public for money. Two minds I respect agree. S.E. CUPP's take. And BUZZFEED's CHARLIE WARZEL. I hope she comes correct and packing with the tough questions. This interview better not be like BARBARA WALTERS' OSCAR-night interviews. I want serious adversarial questions. And she could have done without the KATY PERRY TEENAGE DREAM-like photos... TPG's DAVID BONDERMAN in the midst of a UBER-tsunami makes a moronic comment. Can't help himself so what do you think women put up with on normal days. I know nothing about the man, and we all make mistakes. But the timing. My god. And for the record, I talk more than any woman (or man) that ever existed or will exist... If I'm being honest, I'm not sure if I'm horrified or super impressed or both... "Please hold your best table for me every day for the next 4 years in case I decide to eat at your restaurant." - JEFF SESSIONS calling NOMA for a reservation... Best pizza in MIAMI?... Hmmm.

| Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish businessman, saved the lives of tens of thousands of Jewish people during the Nazi occupation of Hungary. Two of those people whom he saved are Tom and Annette Lantos. Tom Lantos later sponsored a bill to make Wallenberg an honorary citizen of the USA. Wallenberg mysteriously disappeared in 1947, never to be heard from again. It is believed that Wallenberg was detained by the USSR and died during this time. | | |
