This is a West Coast high five courtesy of our resident and transient members of many pods we may spot daily: "Awe-inspiring to say the least!" The real McCoy. (Transients prefer seals, whereas locals thrive on various of our salmon species for dinner.) These guys usually hunt in groups, = success.

"This is not about keeping Palestinian children safe. This is not about preventing further violence against Palestinians. This is not about freedom for the Palestinian people. This has nothing to do with liberation."

Many in the media haven't learned anything since 2016. Discussing Biden vs. Trump polls a year before an election is premature and serves no legitimate purpose. Recent polls can be off the mark even just days before an election, so no one should trust a 2024 poll in September 2023. It's reckless.

The 2022 midterms highlighted the media's reliance on junk polls and biased commentary. Many in the press seemed too eager to amplify a GOP-driven narrative of an impending "red wave," even when valid data suggested otherwise. Now we see it happening again with Biden's age and his "likeability."

The perception that "Hillary Clinton is untrustworthy" combined with the notion that "Hillary is likely to win regardless" influenced a segment of voters in crucial states, prompting many to stay home. Yes, media dynamics influenced the 2016 election, and similar patterns persist post-2016.

While the "Crooked Hillary" narrative flooded the airwaves, another prevailing narrative emerged in the media suggesting her assured victory. Numerous news outlets consistently released polls indicating Hillary Clinton's comfortable lead, implying a Hillary win was inevitable.

WikiLeaks relied on the media to disseminate the hacked materials to the US electorate. Without media coverage, WikiLeaks' reach would've been limited. Media outlets played a key role in propagating the "Crooked Hillary" narrative surrounding Hillary Clinton, thereby shaping public perception.

At the same time, these networks prioritized coverage of Hillary Clinton's email server, the ensuing investigation, and the hacked emails. Although the authenticity of these hacked materials was never conclusively verified, they were still given significant airtime for discussion.

Several cable news networks provided significant airtime to Trump, during which he repeatedly presented false statements that were not immediately fact-checked. Both Fox News and MSNBC featured Trump weekly, and this constant media exposure helped normalize Trump and legitimize his presidential run.

It has been widely discussed that the Russian government played a role in influencing the 2016 presidential election. However, it is equally important to consider the impact of the media coverage during that time. I would argue that the media influenced the outcome and handed Trump the presidency.

The recent disclosure that an article written in 2021 about Meghan Markle and race was ghostwritten on behalf of a Black woman is appalling.

NEW: Donald Trump STIFFED Miami restaurant where he did a publicity stunt after arrest and arraignment.
He announced he was paying for everyone’s food — then he left without paying for ANYTHING.
Standard Trump. Fake generosity. Fake wealth. Fake everything. It’s all a con.

BREAKING: DOJ investigating LIV/PGA merger for antitrust violations.
Unlike other sports leagues, the PGA does *NOT* have an antitrust exemption from Congress.
This could be the beginning of the end for the LIV takeover of the PGA.

My father-in-law was 19 when they shipped him off to Vietnam.
Agent Orange killed him 40 years later.. non-Hodgkin's lymphona.
He died the year my husband turned 19 - the same year we met.
This Memorial Day, don't forget those who came home just for war to find them later.
