With Fox News, they may have struck out, but strike three got away from the catcher and they reached first base safely anyway.* Fox always controls the narrative.
*If the catcher does not catch strike three cleanly, the batter is not put out at that moment, but instead must either be tagged out by the catcher or retired by throwing the ball to first base. This rule does not apply if first base is already occupied and there are fewer than two outs.
**This is why the major league record for strikeouts in an inning is held by hundreds of pitchers with four strikeouts. One of the four batters indeed struck out but reached first base safely because of a wild pitch or a passed ball.

I love A&W root beer, and they have a sense of humor. The wokeless seem lacking in that.

New lawsuit against Fox from Laura Luhn, a former booker on Fox who earlier settled for a $3 million payout asserting sexual harassment from Roger Ailes.

She is suing under the new New York law that opens a one-year window under the Adult Survivor's Act.

The root beer product is acceptable, just, but Hires was the absolute best and A&W killed it off.
Aussies seem to prefer sarsaparilla, but there are a few boutique root beer brewers around that make terrific stuff.
I still want Hires though.

I thought conservatives were all about free market capitalism and staying out of regulating business.

DIrecTV has had these carriage fee disputes with various networks over the years. I was a DIrecTV customer and suffered through loss of some channels every once in a while. They usually got settled before the deadlines but sometimes not. There is always finger pointing back and forth. Now the conservatives want make what is a normal business dispute over Newsmax into a deep state evil. Really, just screw them.

Dick Morris says the reason why DirecTV removed Newsmax and not Fox is because they are targeting Trump: “Murdoch, who owns Fox, they will not put Trump on the air. They will not show his debates, they will not show his speeches, they will not show his rallies, and Newsmax will.”

I suspect it has more to do with the number of viewers, but that might just be me.

Yeah - balloon loaded with bioweapons Even IFF, at 66000 feet the radiation will render any critter inactive, especially when months in that environment. Second, the critter would need to survive icy cold temperatures, like -56C / -69F. Third the balloon is loaded with a fairly small amount of helium that expands while the balloon reaches lower pressures while gaining height. Not much place for a significant amount of potential biohazard. Fourth, any "dropplets" released at height dissipate in the "thin air" and will not reach ground.
