Hope needs compassionate action. Best to be compassionate anyway.

Many self-avowed 'critical thinkers' seem to not think critically.

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring (1954)

Trump: “I knew [Reverend Jesse Jackson] well, long before becoming President” — so I’m not a racist!

Also Trump: “I’ve known Jeff [Epstein] for 15 years. Terrific guy... he likes beautiful women as much as I do & many of them are on the younger side.”

An apology?
For this grifting, greedy Epstein acolyte?
Because the "longevity" doctor who didn't complete a residency and charges 6 figures for his concierge service is vital to medical reporting?
CBS= Collaborator Broadcast System
Peter Attila appears to be staying at CBS News despite Epstein communications. Staffers believed network decided to retain Attia, who issued apology after inappropriate emails, as on-site analyst.
