As we went to press with this final quarter-end edition of Notations, we were analyzing an interview done by NBC News with an Ukrainian Prosecutor regarding the Bidens-and the central role Rudy Giuliani played in this whole affair supported by the Special Representative for Ukraine. 226 Members of the US House of Representatives are on the record supporting an impeachment inquiry--even Tulsi Galbard who was a holdout.

It will be a focus of ours throughout the 4th Quarter here in our Properties.

As we go dark thru the end of the Quarter, we hereby present the following snapshot courtesy of the team at the Real News Network as we look forward to the opportunity to serve--our Twitter Channel and Live Broadcast Pod will be available in the meantime for all:
