Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.

He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.

Release the transcript.

Don't overthink why the American president fawns over sultans and tyrants while disaparaging the leaders of democratic allies.

The U.S. has not added an amendment to its Constitution in 33 years, the longest such drought in more than 100 years.

Pie in the sky... what should our next amendment be?

I'll start:

28. The President assumes no immunity from the criminal laws that apply to ordinary U.S. citizens

"He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls..."

In no US state is the age of consent 15 years old.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

What would a president do to prevent the world from knowing he's a pedo?

What has he already done?

In what ways has he already been blackmailed by foreign states to keep his secrets hidden?

If the FBI and Congress have emails implicating Trump, you don't think Russia and Israel have the goods?

Crap!

I keep on forgetting to read that Greg Gutfeld interview in the Times.

Making another note-to-self so I don't forget again.

Really looking forward to it!

Tonight was the Doolittle Raid. Washington’s victory at Trenton.

The road ahead will be difficult, but ultimate victory began tonight.

There is hope.

It's a real possibility that the next Democratic president of the United States will not be safe living and working in the White House.

MIT President Sally Kornbluth just issued a statement to the campus community saying NO to Trump’s authoritarian compact

“And fundamentally, the premise of the document is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone.”

There will be a generation of Americans for whom this particular Kennedy is the first thought and face that appears when the name is uttered.
RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

Great writer. Great subject. Perfect angle.
My next book will be a biography of Jack Nicholson, written as an epic story of the transformation of the movie industry and modern masculinity from the 1950s to the present, with Nicholson as the main character. The title: Leading Man.
