Secret meetings with David Zaslav in Beverly Hills. Secret Zooms with John Malone. Secret lunches and dinners presenting offers.

I knew Trump chose mortgage fraud to go after his enemies with phony charges of because it's a crime he's quite familiar with. He probably thinks everyone does it.

Trump's farmer bailout will primarily go to massive row-crop farmers. Big Ag as they say. Smaller and diversified farms are getting something else - it rhymes with shackjit.
Trump is going to dump tens of $ billions in payments for huge commodity farmers to compensate for huge losses they will suffer from his idiotic trade war. Meanwhile, small farmers growing for local markets will get nothing. Just canceled grants and "thoughts and prayers". wapo.st/3YXdAbU

The Ellison family has promised Trump that if they get to purchase Warner Bros then they will revamp CNN to make it more friendly to his administration.

It remains to be seen if Netflix can match that offer.

I thought it was a tinfoil hat theory. Then I checked facts. Big Oil knew 50 yrs ago what their policies would do & pushed ahead anyway. That's criminal. After 20+ yrs responding to climate disasters, I know ordinary people pay the price. It’s time Big Oil faced the music. Full article w receipts:

They changed the lyrics during Vietnam to "as he died to make men holy, let us live to make man free." I personally prefer the original lyrics. When this song was sung at my HS graduation, knowing I was going to be joining the Corps and seeking a commission, I got teary eyed.
