- This week’s note in “Alternative Facts” comes from the Jerusalem Post where scholar, journalist, and former Knesset member Susan Hattis Roleff accuses Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of lying nearly as much as the American President. Good God. Our national leader has become the international benchmark by which citizens of other countries measure the dishonesty of their politicians.
- Jack Jodell at The Saturday Afternoon Post runs through this week’s new horrors emerging from the madcap world of the Trump administration.
- My President famously refuses ever to let alcohol touch his lips. Has to do with family history. You wouldn’t know it from a recent episode on Fox News. M. Bouffant at Web of Evil provides the video. Mr. Trump, calling in by telephone, sounds very much like the drunken uncle you never want to invite to a family gathering. He pretty much destroys at least some of the court strategy his legal team has been delicately constructing. Quite the reckless rant.
- Ted McLaughlin at jobsanger goes to documented history. The US shamefully turned away a ship of passengers fleeing for their lives from anti-Jewish death programs run by Nazis in the 1930’s. Anti-refugee bigotry is nothing new to this country.
- My long time friend, the very conservative T. Paine at Saving Common Sense, writes a narrative that is truly beautiful about the wonders he has experienced in nature and remarkably alarming in the dangers to that wonderment that he witnesses.
- At The Onion, a disheveled Scott Pruitt tearfully confesses that, weeks ago, he spent the last funds of the EPA. Just blew it.
- Our favorite Earth-Bound Misfit comes to Missouri, right next door to Bellefontaine Neighbors (pronounced in these parts – no kidding – “Belle Fountain Neighbors”) to document that, very often, traffic ticketing really has nothing to do with highway safety.
