It is just my opinion but ICE agents appear to be deliberately using aggression because they know cameras are running. They want a reputation for violence to intimidate those around them.

Doing the colonoscopy thing this week. This time making me “clean out” for two days. (Go ahead, the possibilities for jokes are endless). Every 3 yrs since I was 40. Now 72. I think I only have to do it one more time in 3 years. They found scores of polyps over the years so it is worth it.

One thing I hope all parents who have living parents do is contact their local area agency on aging. Find out what’s out there to help you if you need to provide caregiving for your parents.

Bill Paley would have some choice words for Shari Redstone telling CBS to delay “sensitive” stories about Mr Trump until after arbitration. Not much courage in that statement.

Paramount needs to learn a key responsibility for owners of news media. They must stand up for their news organization morally legally and financially. Bully’s must learn to tread carefully around news media. The lesson learned in this case is that Trump owns the owners of CBS News
