No Comments 7 April 2023

The actor does a great job imitating Trump’s mannerisms. It is a well-written piece and made me laugh.

My own sense is that the change that Trump will indicted in Georgia is 80%. At the federal level it put the probability at 50%.

Rupert Murdoch. Professionally, the parent of Earth’s media. Personally, the creator of new news himself. Celebrating March, his Nativity month, a new scoop is Mr. Murdoch’s getting married — again.

He says: “I was very nervous. I dreaded falling in love — but I knew this would be my last. It better be. I’m happy.”
