The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel just lies right out of the box about "longstanding" use of ballot drop boxes in Wisconsin
Isn't that what Election 2020 was all about? Lying? Lying absentee ballots and the lying voters who cast them? And lying media?
It used to be a good newspaper, but those days are long over:
The
4-3 ruling, coming four weeks before statewide primaries Aug. 9, is a
win for Republicans who now oppose the longstanding use of ballot drop
boxes after their use proliferated during the coronavirus pandemic and
was heavily criticized by former President Donald Trump, who alleged
with no evidence that absentee voting was rife with fraud and led to
his reelection loss in 2020.
Here.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court found that there was no evidence of longstanding use, presented by the Wisconsin Election Commission, or otherwise:
¶65 The record evidence WEC cited does not support its argument that ballot drop boxes have been in common and longstanding use in this state.

Famous last words: Recession "not expected"
- The economy is expected to have added 250,000 jobs in June, a strong number though lower than the 390,000 in May, according to economists surveyed by Dow Jones.
Boris Johnson done-in by testicles not his own
Johnson
was ultimately undone by his response to fallout from the resignation
last Thursday of deputy chief whip Chris Pincher, amid allegations
Pincher had groped two guests at a private dinner the night before.
While he did not admit the allegations directly, Pincher said in a
letter to Johnson last week that "last night I drank far too much" and
"embarrassed myself and other people." Other historical allegations of
misconduct by Pincher emerged in the ensuing days.
Johnson
initially denied being aware of some of those allegations, but
ultimately the Prime Minister was forced to admit he had been briefed
years before and apologize for his decision-making.
It
was the final straw for many political allies who had supported Johnson
through crisis after crisis over the years. In recent months the Prime
Minister had been facing a barrage of criticism from all sides over his
conduct and that of his government, including illegal, lockdown-breaking
parties thrown in his Downing Street offices, for which he and others
were fined.

This is as good a day as any to remember that Ben Bernanke's Fed under Obama bailed out the banksters and hung 6.5 million homeowners out to dry
Bloomberg, August 21, 2011, here:
Fed
Chairman Ben S. Bernanke’s unprecedented effort to keep the economy
from plunging into depression included lending banks and other companies
as much as $1.2 trillion of public money, about the same amount U.S.
homeowners currently owe on 6.5 million delinquent and foreclosed
mortgages. The largest borrower, Morgan Stanley, got as much as $107.3
billion, while Citigroup took $99.5 billion and Bank of America $91.4
billion, according to a Bloomberg News compilation of data obtained
through Freedom of Information Act requests, months of litigation and an
act of Congress. ...
Homeowners
are more than 30 days past due on their mortgage payments on 4.38
million properties in the U.S., and 2.16 million more properties are in
foreclosure, representing a combined $1.27 trillion of unpaid principal,
estimates Jacksonville, Florida-based Lender Processing Services Inc. ...
Congress required the disclosure after the Fed rejected requests in 2008
from the late Bloomberg News reporter Mark Pittman and other media
companies that sought details of its loans under the Freedom of
Information Act. After fighting to keep the data secret, the central
bank released unprecedented information about its discount window and
other programs under court order in March 2011.

Inflation hits new record in Europe, Reuters begins to tell the truth about why
But they save it for the last paragraph, which probably no one reads.
At minus 0.5%, the ECB's deposit rate has been in negative territory since 2014.
The contemplated interest rate hikes are laughably small, and laughably timed for later.
