Kate's picture story prominently there on NYT & Wapo home pages but Trump saying Hitler did good things isn't. Do we have our priorities straight?

'A poor man's idea of a rich man, a stupid man's idea of a smart man, and a weak man's idea of a strong man.'

I confess I’m proud that Canadians and Canadian journalists (with one or two hapless exceptions) are mostly indifferent to the private lives of our politicians.

Tucker Carlson, when asked about Alexei Navalny, opposition leaders and journalists in Russia: “Every leader kills people. Some kill more than others. Leadership requires killing people.”

How do you know the media is complicit in Trump's camgaign? Yesterday, he said he would encourage Russia to attack our NATO allies if they didn't pay up. It didn't even get a mention on the The New York Times front page. I guess that's not as serious as Biden forgetting when his son died.

Nevertheless, she persisted.

National Retail Federation report last spring: “‘organized retail crime’ was responsible for half the $94.5B in store merchandise” stolen. I fell for it. In fact: about 5%. And “in most major cities, shoplifting incidents have fallen 7% since 2019.”

Hugely important retraction.

'The real Kissinger genius was his ability to listen & say exactly what the client or sponsor wanted to hear, in sharp contrast to geostrategic thinkers such as Brzezinski or Kennan, who said what Washington didn’t want to hear.' Best HK piece by Ben Judah newstatesman.com/comment/2023/1…

Today, unemployment is 3.9%, inflation is 3.2%, and GDP last quarter grew at a rate of 5.2%.

Frequently, I’ve come to regret things I’ve said. This, from 2001, is not one of those times:
