Why does editorializing able to make its way into headlines? As soon as we use adjectives to describe a person, we tell the reader how we believe that person to be. They could also have put: "A speaker uncomfortable with the truth" - and yet... www.nytimes.com/2026/10/05/b...

School music programs are getting absolutely bodied by tariffs, per @nytimes.com: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/b...
The effective tariff rate on instruments in June was about 13 percent, said Cullen Hendrix, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. That was down from a peak of nearly 24 percent last September but more than twice as high as before Mr. Trump’s second term.
Band and orchestral instruments have been hit the hardest, he said. In the second quarter of this year, imports of instruments were down nearly 20 percent from the same period in 2024. Imports of orchestral string instruments, including violins, violas and cellos, dropped 50 percent. Brass instruments fell 43 percent.

“It’s hitting the horns, it’s hitting the strings, it’s hitting the percussion,” Mr. Hendrix said. “All of those things combined are kind of sapping the available pool of tools that we can provide these children to begin their journey.”

Trump has been determined to disprove every argument that Electoral College proponents have made. No, it doesn’t compel candidates to pay attention to the interests of voters all over the country. It shields a tyrant from electoral blowback when he tells states that voted against him to drop dead

Chinese strategists can’t believe their luck. All they have to do is be steady, reliable, consistent. Can be demanding, attach a bunch of strings, even somewhat exploitative, and they still look more appealing as a global power than alternatives just by talking in good faith and following through.

A president can lie a lot, say a losing war is won, and a worsening economy going great. Get media to repeat it, and traders to rally. For a time. But he can’t make long-term bond markets ignore higher risks from unreliability, inflation, and debt, nor make insurers lose money on blown-up ships.

Oh, it's bad. He doesn't say Blanche is pulled, but, he does. I think the only fair reading of this is that Trump is not willing to let Blanche back down on the audit immunity.
Donald J. Trump 0 & @realDonald Trump
Todd Blanche is a STAR, and everyone knows it! He has the potential to go down as one of the Greatest Attorney Generals of All Time. However, John Cornyn, of Texas, and Thom Tillis, of North Carolina, both of whom I refused to Endorse, and whose political careers have been ended by my action, are refusing to vote for this Great Nominee, who will remain, in any event, as Acting. Remember, both Cornyn and Tillis voted for Merrick Garland, and others, too numerous to mention. I have no objection to temporarily withdrawing Todd's name, if they do not do the right thing, and putting him back after Cornyn and Tillis are out of office. President DONALD J. TRUMP
