  • Pronunciation

    Please take the time to pronounce the name Ghislaine correctly. Any interview with Virginia Guiffre has the correct pronunciation. This is lazy reporting.

  • TDS is Real!

    Billy has so much potential, but the TDS is making him be overly biased! I guess this is not for me, as it’s very one sided politically speaking. Too much politics

  • Different voice on Feb 11

    Billy’s voice does NOT sound like Billy. The way he speaks is Billy… but not the sound of his voice. What’s up?
