From the government website: Mission: USCENTCOM directs and enables military operations and activities with allies and partners to increase regional security and stability in support of enduring U.S. interests. Command Priorities: 1. Deter Iran 2. Counter Violent Extremist Organizations 3. Compete Strategically - Regional Constructs - Integrated Air and Missile Defense/ Counter Unmanned Aerial systems All those things sound relevant given the disasters that are dominating the news and the globe. The area that...

I've been posting a series of J6 videos over the past few years that show abnormal incursions into the Capitol that were atypical of MAGA followers of President Trump. One of them was of a group of long-haired youths wearing gas masks who entered a room through a broken window, and were being given orders through the window by a woman with a bullhorn.See that video here at this link.While searching through my posting history to locate this video, I came across prior posts where the HTML appears to have been altered, removing the actual link to the video and...

@JamesRosenTVEXCLUSIVE: A @TheJusticeDept official confirms that in 2019, the @FBI opened up a criminal investigation into "Hunter Biden and his associates," focused on allegations of money-laundering, and that it remains open and active today. More very soon on your @WeAreSinclair stations.

There’s been a lot of talk about impeachment hearing witness Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, but we must admit, the news that he was wounded by an IUD was a genuinely shocking revelation. Wait, what? Link to Twitter Thread. The article was originally posted on October 29. No idea when the correction actually went out, but it’s good that someone got to it eventually.

“Congratulations @BorisJohnson on becoming the next Prime Minister of the United Kingston,” tweeted Ivanka Trump.

The Morandi Bridge has collapsed in the northern Italian city of Genoa. The bridge, a part of the A10 motorway, is about 100 metres tall, Italian media say. Up to 20 cars may have been involved in the incident, and 11 people are confirmed to have died. Amazingly, one person has been rescued alive from the rubble. Photographs from the scene show huge sections of rubble on the ground underneath the middle of the bridge.

The White House has posted a tweet praising economic growth in the "United Sates" - misspelling the name of the country it serves. The image, tweeted on Friday, was up for hours before it was finally deleted. But screenshots of the mishap remain - and join a growing archive of shocking and implausible spelling errors broadcast by the highest office in US politics. We've counted down a few of the most facepalm-worthy errors by the Trump administration so far - not forgetting the president himself. "The United Sates economy"

RUSH: Trump sent out a tweet today, and he meant to write “network coverage” and he instead wrote network c-o-v-f-e-f-e. It was a typo later deleted. The media and Twitter went absolutely nuts. Here is one sound bite example of a montage. Cut 15 in three, two, one. AMY ROBACH: President Trump’s mysterious message overnight taking on the press in a tweet and then ending with a typo. CHRISTINE ROMANS: It appears to be an unfinished tweet with a typo. “Covfefe” is not a word. SAVANNAH GUTHRIE: Let’s go back to this tweet for a minute. Does it signal any...

Seniors at a Utah high school received one final spelling lesson at their graduation ceremony. 600 graduates of Fremont High School in Ogden, Utah, were given graduation medals inscribed with the words “Clas of 2015.” Yes, that's “class” with only one “s.” …

Due to an error in her years-in-the-making presidential announcement, Hillary Clinton’s campaign said Sunday that she has “fought children and families all her career.”

For want of an "L," a reputation was lost, a former judge claims. Richard W. Postma Jr., a former state judge in Alaska, has filed a federal lawsuit against attorneys for the Alaska Bar Association over "hazing" he says he endured after former Gov. Sarah Palin's appointment letter thanked him for his "pubic service." Postma, who was appointed to the bench in 2007, claimed the typographical error that turned "public" into "pubic" led to suggestions that he got the appointment by performing oral sex on the former governor. He filed the suit Feb. 11 in U.S. District Court in Anchorage,...

One of the key parts of Thursday's Supreme Court ruling regarding the President's healthcare bill was that the fine for not complying with the individual mandate must be considered a tax in order for it to be constitutional. On CNN's State of the Union Sunday, host Candy Crowley didn't think this was a very important distinction (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary): CNN's Candy Crowley Doesn't Think It Matters If the Individual Mandate Is a Tax or a PenaltyIn the middle of a discussion about the ruling, Crowley said, "Another tactic that Republicans used coming out of the Supreme...

A typo has led to the election of the wrong man to a finance board in Derby, Conn. James J. Butler was the highest vote-getter, winning 1,526 votes for the 10-member Board of Apportionment and Taxation, which monitors the town's finances. However, his father, 72-year-old James R. Butler, was the candidate nominated by Democrats. The News Times of Danbury and New Haven Register report that he said he wants the job and that his son is not interested in public office.

(Cross-posted from Facebook) So, I'm reviewing some information on this program that I've been asked to research, and one of the "features" is listed as "INFALABILITY COMPLEX - ADMITTING MISTAKES". Guess they made the "mistake" of not owning a dictionary or spellchecker... Know any other good typo anecdotes? Share them!

PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 4 (UPI) -- Two U.S. men convicted on federal vandalism charges for fixing typos on public signs said they have landed a book deal to write about their adventures. Benjamin Herson of Oregon and Jeff Deck of Massachusetts said they were given a $150,000 advance to write "The Great Typo Hunt," which is due out Aug. 3, The (Norfolk) Virginian-Pilot reported Monday. The men were sentenced to probation and ordered to stay out of national parks for a year for correcting the grammar on a 70-year-old sign at the Grand Canyon's South Rim during their 2008 cross-country...

Someone might want to look into whether an impostor took President Obama's place during his trip to Russia In a release touting an agreement between Obama and President Dmitry Medvedev over how to craft a follow-up to the START arms reduction treaty, the White House claimed the document had been signed by one "Barak Obama." Whoops:

Rio de Janeiro (AP) - His meet-and-greet with the U.S. president was bumped to Saturday, and when the White House announced his official visit, they misspelled his name. But when Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva becomes the first Latin American leader to sit down with President Barack Obama this weekend, he brings undisputed clout. Silva runs the world's fifth-most-populous nation and ninth-largest economy and has close ties with leaders across the political spectrum. He's been asked to lobby Obama for free trade on behalf of conservatives in Colombia and for dropping the U.S. embargo against communist Cuba. Even...

The federal government says it has no choice but to reluctantly keep distributing to millions of waterfowl hunters a toll-free phone-sex-service number that features a breathy woman promising callers that they can "talk only to the girls who turn you on" for $1.99 per minute. About 3.5 million federal "duck stamps," featuring artwork by a Plymouth artist, are affixed to a card that bears the misprinted number, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said Wednesday. All waterfowl hunters age 16 and older must buy and carry the current Migratory Bird Conservation and Hunting Stamp, commonly known as the duck stamp....
