Tennessee investigators say "Walking Tall" sheriff likely killed his wife
A late Tennessee sheriff who inspired a Hollywood movie about a law enforcement officer who took on organized crime killed his wife in 1967 and led people to believe she was murdered by his enemies, authorities said Friday.
Authorities acknowledged that the finding will likely shock many who grew up as fans of Buford Pusser and watched 1973's "Walking Tall," which immortalized him as a tough but fair sheriff with zero tolerance for crime. The movie was remade in 2004, and many officers joined law enforcement because of his story, according to Mark Davidson, the district attorney for Tennessee's 25th judicial district.
There is enough evidence that if Pusser, the McNairy County sheriff who died in a car crash seven years after his wife's death, were alive today, prosecutors would present an indictment to a grand jury for the killing of Pauline Mullins Pusser, Davidson said. Investigators also uncovered signs that she suffered from domestic violence.
Prosecutors worked with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, which began reexamining decades-old files on Pauline's death in 2022 as part of its regular review of cold cases, agency director David Rausch said. Agents found inconsistencies between Buford Pusser's version of events and the physical evidence, received a tip about a potential murder weapon and exhumed Pauline's body for an autopsy.

I can answer President Trump's question about why Donna Brazile hasn't been "fired."
Her long career at CNN is the first clue; she's been orbiting Washington’s policy and power circles for decades.
And sure enough, until recently she held one of the State Department’s most visible advisory posts: Chair of the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board, the program that grooms future foreign policy leaders.
That's right, her ties go so deep that she's trusted enough to handpick the next generation of State Department.
That's just what I found in 5 minutes. I imagine there's a lot more dirt on her.

Truth Social’s parent company, TMTG, reported a $327.6 million loss in Q1 2024 despite $770,000 revenue, contrasting with X’s estimated $9.4 billion valuation, highlighting a disconnect between market hype and financial performance.
Recent volatility in TMTG stock, including suspensions due to election-related trading, suggests investor speculation may drive its $10.3 billion valuation, outpacing X, despite its smaller user base of 13.5 million visits.
