Trump Calls Democrats’ Bluff, Demands Republicans Release the Epstein Files
I thought we already did that.
Somebody in charge announces that the Epstein files are being released, and we get a manila envelope with some old news inside.
Just release everything with victims names redacted. Then the participants can get on with stepping down, or apologizing to their wives, or explaining their involvement.
WSJ: Old Age Will Be Different in the Robotic Age
WSJ: Old Age Will Be Different in the Robotic Age
Machines could soon help elders get out of bed, bathe them, even provide them with emotional support.
I always figured this problem would be solved by the Japanese inventing competent Elder-bots, the Chinese making cheap knock-offs and an American start-up company offering free robots that tended to the feeble as it harvested confidential medical information to defraud Medicaid. That won’t happen.
BBC: BBC director general and News CEO resign over Trump documentary edit
The BBC’s director general Tim Davie and head of News Deborah Turness have resigned following criticism that a Panorama documentary misled viewers by editing a speech by Donald Trump.
The Telegraph published details of a leaked internal BBC memo on Monday that suggested the Panorama programme edited two parts of the US president’s speech together so he appeared to explicitly encourage the Capitol Hill riot of January 2021.
This dishonest BBC documentary aired in October, just prior to the 2024 election. A foreign country tried to influence who was elected as our president.
CNN: Former Vice President Dick Cheney dies at 84 years old.
I’m not one to celebrate somebody’s death. Cheney seems like he pissed everybody off, so others will be posting snarky articles about him in a couple of days.
A few years ago, I listened to Cheney’s memoir, In my Time.
South Korea gives Trump golden crown, medal conferring highest honor
Will the “No Kings” protestors get all wee-wee’d up that Trump now has a crown, or will they never learn that South Korea presented President Trump with their highest civilian honor?
Why Chicago’s Brandon Johnson fumed at ‘illegal alien’ question
The quote in the title comes from George Orwell, and everybody thinks that he was smart.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson argued that the phrase “illegal alien” strips away the humanity of the person in question.
‘I am not done’ – Kamala Harris tells BBC she may run for president again
Has there ever been a less self-aware national politician? It’s not a partisan opinion to say that the Biden era is over, and DEI is waning. Harris doesn’t have a faction, power base or large donors.
Rachel Maddow loses her composure when she sees that her parent company contributed to the White House ballroom project. There is no reason to get bent out of shape about this renovation.
Police intensify hunt for Louvre thieves as France reels from jewel heist
There aren’t many jewelry heists anymore, so this is exciting.
French authorities raced against the clock Tuesday, intensifying their hunt for the priceless royal jewels stolen from the Louvre, and the thieves whose brazen daylight robbery left the nation reeling.
Apparently the French government knew that Louvre security was insufficient, but they were dragging their feet about addressing the problem.
3 takeaways from Saturday’s No Kings nationwide protests
I am trying to understand the objective of the “No Kings” protests. It’s like Lisa Simpson’s anti-tiger rock. In a little over 3 years, when Trump’s term wraps up, the “No Kings” protestors will take credit for the peaceful transfer of power.
