Here are a few international, national and Virginia news headlines, political and otherwise, for Wednesday, March 5. As Robert Hubbell writes this morning: “As expected, Trump lied his way through his speech to the joint session of Congress…Two shocking facts about the speech: First, Elon Musk had the gall to show up at the speech. Second, in a bizarre exchange with Chief Justice John Roberts, Trump said the following to Roberts as the two men shook hands and Trump patted Roberts on the arm: Thank you. Thank you again. I won’t forget.” Also, see here for some fact checking of Trump’s many lies, exaggerations, distortions, etc.
