Whew, what a week! seems that days are becoming weeks & weeks becoming years…it’s quite something to live during The Great Awakening…

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”

― Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities

You scare me more and more each week. I don’t know what kind of world we are passing to our children and grandchildren. But the more I catch a glimpse of it, the more it frightens me. God, please help people to wake up and see the lies. They are being fed.

To quote Mr. Eringer.....whew!!!!!!!!

Even if you want to discount 50% of this article it really points a middle finger at a whole bunch of former insiders ....

With the ingredients if this was a dinner plate you would want a kings taster before even looking at it.

Is it time for a political recall???

Thanks for the read.

Excellent summary of quite a week! I add a bravo to Woody Allen for not giving his beautiful tribute to Diane Keaton to the NY Times to publish, but instead giving them the finger by letting Bari Weiss publish it in her Free Press.

I couldn't care less about Harry and Meghan. But really wonder why we just basically gave $20 billion in a currency swap with Argentina's central bank to buy worthless Argentine pesos. They are already like 450 billion in debt. Where is the art in that deal?

Cito,

Looks like trump is going full TACO regarding the “promised” aid to Argentina, by now tying it to whether or not Milei does well in the upcoming midterm elections.

Just happen to be watching the news, trump just started a special press conference to present a presidential medal of freedom to Charlie Kirk. Why does it need a special press conference.? And now he’s gonna talk for an hour about whatever happens to wander through his brain. Of course he talked about the great new Rosegarden, how people love it more than they loved anything before. Of course he had a blow his own horn about the Middle East deal. Saying how he raced back to do this press conference because it was Charlie’s birthday. There usually is one day set aside to the presidential medal of freedom to more than one person. I don’t know why there isn’t a speech writer for this man he waste so much time talking about senseless nonsense.

Mr. Eringer. Please, please stick to one or two subjects. You flood your article with so much minutia no one really has time do you think about it, then you’re off to the races with another subject? 😵‍💫😵‍💫

Could you find anything positive to say? There must be something that gives you pleasure.

I was about to say the same thing about Polly Frost, and I haven't gotten trough the comments.

Really, what part of Polly's comment is negative? Sure, she knocked the NYTimes, but did so by celebrating the Free Press...."Excellent summary of quite a week! I add a bravo to Woody Allen for not giving his beautiful tribute to Diane Keaton to the NY Times to publish, but instead giving them the finger by letting Bari Weiss publish it in her Free Press."

I like Bari Weiss, and Woody Allen, and I love Diane Keaton ... Polly some times posts things that sound to me like someone slinging arrows. Maybe I read her comments wrong. But as a teenager in the '70's I went to movie theaters with my friends and watched these movies. Sleeper, Love and Death, I skipped Interiors, but was smitten watching Manhattan. Somewhere in there was Annie Hall (and Play it Again Sam). I didn't understand Polly's reference for Woody giving the finger to Bari Weiss? That's why I posted. BTW, why did you object to Julia's comment?

Agree with Julia that Trump needs to stick to script. Listening to part of his special “press conference” today, who would have guessed it to award the Medal of Freedom. Rambling about self gets old.

Please stick to the topic: the accomplishments of the honoree.

On Monday — just yesterday — were there insufficient accolades to Pres Trump for his major significant accomplishments in the Middle East?

Dan O. Seibert's avatar

Yes, that’s how I see it.

Julia Gonzales's avatar

When there is complete peace from both sides, I will offer accolades. Though from what I’ve been reading this whole deal was in progress while Biden was still in office.

Julia Gonzales's avatar

Civil, fair and factual comments.

Montecito93108's avatar

Attention spans are short. Headlines, sound bites are popular with folks running on empty.

Julia Gonzales's avatar

That’s true, but it would be nice to have some substance to one or two subjects.

Robert great article. Thanks for writing them. Keep it up.

Also, I'm not sure if singling out the LA mayor for the super slow permitting going on for the 11,000 homes destroyed in the LA fires last year. In good old Butte County CA, only 25% of the also 11,000 homes destroyed in the 2018 Camp Fire have been rebuilt. Perhaps folks don't want to rebuild in what looks and feels like Mars?

Focusing on Epstein’s death alone, all of the items listed in this article should be placed in a stand alone report and delivered to each member of the House and Senate. Then whenever someone brings up the Epstein subject, they can be asked to explain all the anomalies contained in the report. Berney
