The Left: "Trump doesn't matter. We're going to keep giving Trump free publicity until the message sinks in."

Our government has to be reigned in. It subsidizes some things, but not others. Perennial picking winners and losers. It picked Pfizer and Moderna and Joe Biden for half million dollar wall around his beach house/campaign headquarters/Oval Office extension, but not us. We didn’t get a Wall at the Southern border.

Once again we can all be thankful that Ann is willing to don her stylish Designer Label hazmat suit and venture into the fetid sewer known as the New York Times, plucking out choice tidbits to roast them with over the roaring fire of her prose. If the Times was run by smart people who actually wanted to do real journalism...instead of slavishly carrying water for the Democrat Party and the extreme apoplectic Left... and be rewarded by industry success beyond their wildest dreams, they'd hire her as Managing Editor, leave her alone at the reins with carte blanche, and then just sit back and complain that there aren't enough accountants available to handle the truckloads of legitimate money trying to get to their bank accounts. But no, they aren't smart people and would prefer to smugly preach unworkable Marxist propaganda to The Little People and be rewarded by regular invites to hard-Left, anti-American cocktail parties deep in the bowels of Manhattan. Their loss, our gain.

So much to enjoy in this article of Ann's but just picking one item more or less at random, I've noticed that prior to the installation of America's Puppet-In-Chief, we would be treated to near-daily blurbs on back pages of third-tier media outlets about the breathtakingly horrific Cartel-related murders occurring even in supposedly safe tourist areas of Mexico. Although it's easy to understand that putting them on the front pages would be RACIST! and so we of course can't have that...even if it might have saved the lives of untold numbers of naive American and European vacationers...it seems that they've disappeared from media notice altogether. Are we to assume that the teenaged Cartel hitmen have experienced an en-masse Epiphany and are traveling missionaries now, bringing Peace, Goodness and God's Word to all on their path... or perhaps this is to encourage a more welcoming attitude among Americans for our dear Mexican neighbors whose only desire is to achieve the American Dream by working hard, voting Democrat, distributing fentanyl by the ton and raping our young girls?

Truly another Media Mystery.

I wish Ann would write something about the possibility that 200 million or so Americans are presently vaxxing themselves to death and the effect of that on the 2024 elections.

Thank you for sharing the interesting barometers and your perspective of these stories Ann.

Wow. I think you have discovered a great business. I never read the Times because I have a life. But it someone--like some leggy blonde lawyer--lifted just stories this interesting and fun I'd subscribe. You could skip the examples of stupid stories--we can just assume them. (As Information theory says, whatever could be predicted by the receiver is not information.)

Huh? What’s the point? We should build a wall around Mar-a-Lago before they reopen for The Season.
