Disclaimer: I have no idea if any of what is reported is true; we have no Edward R. Murrow.

                       “We’re Here for Nancy Pelosi’s Laptop”

This is Homer, Alaska, Ed Murrow reporting.  Homer, which is no stranger to bad tidings, received news today that that Nancy Pelosi’s laptop is still missing…

                   -as Edward R. Murrow did not say in 1940

Up pops the F.B.I., bashing down the door
Guns drawn, handcuffs out, better hit the dirt
Laptops taken, closets searched, now they want some more -
Maybe Hunter’s pix, or Tom Brady’s shirt

Up pops the F.B.I., warrants locked and loaded
Looking for rightista revolutionaries
With secret maps all Q-Anon coded
Bound in bamboo ballots from Buenos Aires

Up pops the F.B.I., yes, pop, pop, pop:
“We are here for the senator’s laptop!”

“Here in Alaska?”
“I dunno; I’ll ask her!”



Tipsters, social media post led FBI to search Homer woman’s home for links to Capitol riot - Anchorage Daily News (adn.com)

I have no idea if any of this is factual; we have no Edward R. Murrow, only conflicting ideological sites pretending to report the news.
