I've Picked These Just for You

Hello. I do not mean to bombard you with stuff today. This will be very brief. Four news items, two bad and two splendid. All Trump related, I contend.

Item one: Steve Bannon has told CPAC that he has been assured the the J6 Choir — a group of men who had been imprisoned for January 6 insurrection — will be invited to perform one day at The Kennedy Center.

Item two is brought to you by

The Post announced today that “Caroline Kitchener is leaving The Washington Post after six years to pursue a new opportunity.”

”Caroline became The Washington Post's first full-time reporter to examine the issue of abortion in late 2021, after covering the topic as a staff writer for The Lily. In her role on the National staff, she traveled the country to chronicle the human impacts of abortion laws, introducing readers to the people shaping both sides of the debate. Her reporting took readers inside abortion clinics, anti-abortion pregnancy centers, and illegal networks delivering pills to women in states where the procedure was banned.

”She won the Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting in 2023 for in-depth stories that chronicled the undoing of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court.”

Possibly The Post might not seem like the most hospitable place right now for a reporter writing about the cruelty of abortion bans. Just a guess.

Item 3 is from The New York Daily News. Here is the headline:

Trump replaces Resolute Desk after Musk’s son picks nose in Oval Office

The story said “the action came after Elon Musk’s son seemingly wiped a booger on it during their visit to the White House last week.”

Yes, Trump is such an unhinged germaphobe he had the desk REMOVED to be “refurbished” and then returned. There will be a temporary replacement.

It occurs to me anyone who ever gets close to Mr. Trump — including certain heads of state, such as Vlodymyr Zelenskyy — could slyly drive him nuts by picking and smearing.

And finally, this. It is mighty uplifting, and extravagantly worth the five minutes time. The video is of a town meeting in Roswell, Georgia. Thanks, Hopium Chronicles.

That’s it.
