Scott Jennings: CNN Has to Be Trolling at this Point
Renee Good is not a talking point. But for Scott Jennings and CNN, a fatal shooting in Minneapolis is just another opportunity to 'both sides' the indefensible.

CNN's Dana Bash does not appear to be prepared to interview the Secretary of the Treasury, and certainly does not push back when he makes questionable comments about previous actions taken since 2016. This program is going downhill.

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

Justin Welby was too ‘overwhelmed’ by scale of abuse in C of E to take action
In first interview since resigning, former archbishop of Canterbury says more cases were arriving every day and he ‘got it wrong’ Justin Welby, the former archbishop of Canterbury, has said his failure to take effective action over a serial sadistic abuser was because he was “overwhelmed” by the scale of the abuse crisis in the Church of England.

It was an absolutely overwhelming few weeks.” Continue reading...

Social Security and Medicare are not entitlements. They are long standing insurance plans we've paid into all our working lives. We don't need some billionaire from South Africa taking away what's ours. We need him and other billionaires to pay in a whole lot more from what our labor gifts them.
