I shoulda been an emigré. Or is that emigrée? Instead I became a historian. Instead, I landed in the Hudson Valley.

Are you a business that's colluding with ICE? Caving to the biased attacks on DEI? Funding this administration for tax cuts?

At a recent presentation at Cambridge, (prince) Andrew biographer Andrew Lownie claims Epstein and Melania Trump were in a relationship before he introduced her to Trump. When his biography on Andrew was released, Trump forced the publisher to redact those portions. www.youtube.com/watch?v=62j0...

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

Have to disagree with @npr.org. Putin did *not* invade Ukraine to prevent NATO troops from getting any closer to Russia. NATO has bordered the USSR and then Russia since its founding in 1949. Currently the Baltic states and now Finland border Russia.

They might be making Trump mad, but Newsom has been throwing these at the press -- if you think these are beneath my office, why don't you say that when the president does the same thing?
He's exposing that the media has a separate set of standards for Our Very Special Boy and that's good.
