Dishonest liberal mouthpieces with partisan agendas peddling disinformation on Twitter about Federal Prosecutors "Resigning".
From gaffes to one-line zingers, TIME presents history's best-remembered quotes from our presidential candidates

Past and future trends in global mean temperature spanning the last 67 million years. Oxygen isotope values in deep-sea benthic foraminifera from sediment cores are a measure of global temperature and ice volume. Temperature is relative to the 1961-1990 global mean. Data from ice core records of the last 25,000 years illustrate the transition from the last glacial to the current warmer period, the Holocene. Historic data from 1850 to today show the distinct increase after 1950 marking the onset of the Anthropocene. Future projections for global temperature for three Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) scenarios in relation to the benthic deep-sea record suggest that by 2100 the climate state will be comparable to the Miocene Climate Optimum (~16 million years ago), well beyond the threshold for nucleating continental ice sheets. If emissions are constant after 2100 and are not stabilized before 2250, global climate by 2300 might enter the hothouse world of the early Eocene (~50 million years ago) with its multiple global warming events and no large ice sheets at the poles.

When a moderator tried to silence Ronald Reagan's microphone during a 1980 Republican primary debate that he had personally financed, Reagan shouted: "I am paying for this microphone!" The line, as NBC's Brian Williams noted, became a "political home run" for Reagan, even though it wasn't actually his. He borrowed it from the 1948 film State of the Union.
Scientists used marine fossils and orbital data to recreate 66 million years of climate history. Its shows that climate change is anything but 'normal.' //
Sixty-six million years ago, after a massive asteroid hit Earth with the explosive energy of roughly 1 billion nuclear bombs, a shroud of ash, dust and vaporized rock covered the sky and slowly rained down on the planet. As plant and animal species died en masse, tiny undersea amoebas called forams continued to reproduce, building sturdy shells out of calcium and other deep-sea minerals, just as they had for hundreds of millions of years. When each foram inevitably died — pulverized into seabed sediment — they kept a little piece of Earth's ancient history alive in their fossilized shells.
For decades, scientists have studied those shells, finding clues about the ancient Earth's ocean temperatures, its carbon budget and the composition of minerals spilling through the air and seas. Now, in a new study published today (Sept. 10) in the journal Science, researchers have analyzed the chemical elements in thousands of foram samples to build the most detailed climate record of Earth ever
Joe Biden's National Press Secretary T.J. Ducklo repeatedly refused to answer simple, yes or no questions on Fox News's 'Special Report.'
A joint statement released by the United States, the Kingdom of Bahrain, and the State of Israel announced the 'establishment of full diplomatic relations.' //
According to the joint statement, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani will sign the official “Declaration of Peace” on Sept. 15 at the White House.
On the morning of the 4th of September 2020, residents of northern Nimba County woke up to the presence of two elephants walking about their community. The sighting of the two forest elephants, which had crossed over from the Ziama Man and Biosphere Reserve in Guinea, was a rarity that captivated the imagination of onlookers. […]
I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience," Ronald Reagan quipped during the 1984 presidential debates when asked if, at 73, he is too old to be President. The line — a classic example of Reagan's sense of humor — even solicited a laugh from Democratic opponent Walter Mondale.
As part of a covert effort to evacuate Ethiopian Jews to Israel, Operation Solomon took place in 1991 and airlifted over 14,000 out of Ethiopia. The airlift consisted of Israeli Defence Force Hercules C-130 transports as well as Boeing 747s and 707s from El Al. Amid this massive operation, one particular flight was extra special in that it broke the capacity record for the 747.//
When all was said and done, the Israeli aircraft made 40 continuous flights over a 36-hour period. //
the 14,000 Ethiopian Jews were flown nearly 2,600km from the airport at Addis Ababa to Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv (Israel) in a mere 36 hours. This was initially designed to be a 10-to 15-day evacuation but was reduced to 48 hours. However, Operation Solomon was so well-executed that the task was complete by midday Saturday. //
Record for the most passengers carried on a commercial jet goes to Israel’s national airline, El Al, with a record of 1088 passengers. Secret Israeli agents smuggled Jews out of Ethiopia in 1991 during “Operation Solomon”. During the flight, 2 babies were born on the Boeing 747.
