Dear NQRNews Readers,
This week is off to a great start! Unless of course you’re in Ukraine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia, or anywhere there are Wagner Russian PMC mercenaries.
Here is today’s lead:
White House calls violence in Iraq ‘disturbing’ but says embassy not being evacuated | The Hill
“Disturbing”. Must be a euphemism (def: understatement). You can bet your petrodollar that Muqtada Al-Sadr has something to do with this. We’ve seen this play before, and it never ends well.
Gang I hope you are all using your free time to educate your American voters and energize your community to vote in November. We are 70 days away.
If you have any doubts who to vote for, keep coming back to www.notquiterightnews.com. I’ll help you.
