Michael Flynn versus QAnon.

Former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn calls for one religion in America (MSN)

At a three-day conference in San Antonio, Texas, for the "ReAwaken America" tour, former national security adviser and keynote speaker Michael Flynn called for Christianity to become the singular religion of the United States.

"If we are going to have one nation under God, which we must, we have to have one religion. One nation under God, and one religion under God," said Flynn, who recently talked about his Christian faith in an effort to refute QAnon claims that he worships Satan.

Emphasis added.

Not that I'm with QAnon, but that's just what a Satanist would say.

U.S. Capitol Rioter Seeks Asylum in Belarus

U.S. Capitol Rioter Seeks Asylum in Belarus (Moscow Times)

A man on the FBI’s Most Wanted List for allegedly attacking police during the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot is now seeking asylum in Belarus, the ex-Soviet country’s state-run television reported Sunday.

Evan Neumann, 48, is wanted in the United States on charges of violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, as well as for assaulting, resisting and obstructing law enforcement during civil disorder. Neumann denies the charges as “unfounded.”

Neumann sold his California home in spring and was thought to have moved to Ukraine to evade arrest, ABC News reported this summer.

“Judging by his story, [Neumann] is the same type of simple American whose shops were burned by Black Lives Matter activists,” a Belarus 1 TV channel presenter said, echoing a common talking point on Russian state television.

...

Note: Belarus is the only former Soviet republic that is an old style Communist dictatorship.

Biden looking "crestfallen"? (Goebbels level propaganda)

Washington Post and New York Times websites featured headlines are about the Virginia governor's race.

For the New York Daily News it's the NYC mayor's race.

For the the New York Post (won't link but easy to find if you want):

Biden looks crestfallen after Youngkin’s crushing Virginia victory

Illustrated thus:


Honest headline: Biden looking tired after a long plane trip

I'ts not even clear he knew about the Virginia outcome when that picture was snapped.

Elon Musk says he will sell Tesla shares to help world hunger – if the UN can prove where the money is going (CBS)

Last week, the director of the United Nation's World Food Programme said if the world's top billionaires just donated a fraction of their worth, millions of people who are at risk of starving to death can be saved. Elon Musk, the second wealthiest person in the world, said he'd give up some of his wealth – only if he knows exactly where the money is going.

David Beasley, director of the World Food Programme, said on CNN last week that a "one-time" donation from the top 400 billionaires, whose net worths are ever growing, in the U.S. could help save the lives of 42 million people this year.

...

Honest offer or cheap publicity stunt?

It's not as if a man of his means needs to go through the UN if the aim is to feed people.
