Today my wife, Chris, and I announced our retirement from professional journalism. In my case, 50 years at 10 newspapers and a half-dozen websites — the last dozen with Times of San Diego. It's been fun and rewarding (including six tonight at #jawards2025 of SD Press Club). Thx for tips and reading!

Orders are presumed to be lawful, but that presumption is rebuttable rather than conclusive.

“Orders are presumed to be lawful” cracks me up.
The Trump administration is abusing the military justice system to target its political opponents. A despicable new low for a group that strives everyday to find the moral bottom.

Kudos to the U-T’s George Varga, the best pop music writer in America, whose interview with Beach Boys co-founder Al Jardine included a mistaken Varga memory. He could have left it out but bravely exposed it.
