I grew up on an Oregon homestead farm. After graduating from Oregon State University I spent a career in the US Forest Service fighting fire and managing forests and recreation programs. I love travel, RVing, hiking, photography, birding and gardening.

As a World Cup host, the U.S. shouldn't be flippantly barring officials from entering the country to do their jobs. It's terribly backward. It's also counterproductive. Global sports competitions should improve international exchange and relations, not the reverse.

In a post on June 6 (a date featuring many Trump posts, none mentioning D-Day), he touted "The Triumphal Arch, which will be, along with the White House Ballroom, when completed, the Greatest Structure in Washington." Of all Trump's megalomaniacal projects, I think the Arch is the most repulsive.

Many people suspected this was the strategy, and now it is being argued in court. The Trump admin’s position is that if it moves quickly enough to dismantle or alter public assets, courts may be unable to stop it after the fact. In effect, “move fast and break things” is becoming a legal defense.

No matter how much someone may trust an individual reporter, anchor or correspondent, it will not overcome distrust of the media institution they are working for. Democrats especially distrust Bezos and Ellison. No individual anchor or brand packaging will undo that. CNN will soon feel this as well.
