Well, hello!
Good morning from the Blue Mountains.
As we begin, again, together, I thought perhaps a
welcome (or a warning?) would be in order:
I post on things that interest me.
Almost everything interests me.
I post on things I am thinking.
I think way too much.

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism.
That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone.

CBS Pulled a “60 Minutes” Story Because the White House Refused to Comment — That’s a Veto on Journalism
Pulling a finished investigation because the administration refused to comment isn’t journalism. It’s submission.

We now have a partially free press in this country. It is true that there is still *vast* room to report negatively about the president. It is also true that some of our most notable news outlets are being muzzled, one by one.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

This week, I’ve gotten an unusually high volume of emails asking me whether this can actually be real: “Trump disparages presidential foes in plaques attached to White House.”
Indeed, it is very real, my friends, beyond the wildest excesses of parody.

Jubilant Sykes, killed by his son a few days ago. Rob Reiner killed tonight,reports are -it was his son.
Both younger men had long term mental health/addiction issues.
How many lesser known families have suffered the same tragedy?
We cannot afford to let this continue. We must find a solution.

I'll trade "interesting" for "sad."
Interesting that Marco Rubio used to post a Bible verse every morning for many years but stopped doing that as soon as he started working in the Trump admin. Probably worried about getting struck by lightning.
