Phony
The Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth is out to punish six Democratic Congressmen for their video calling for the military to disobey illegal orders. Hegseth is apparently furious at the former members of the armed services. What Hegseth forgets is that service members from the beginning are taught exactly that: Do not obey an illegal order. Hegseth's ire is phony but once again dangerous. It will end up in court for sure.

Not Done Yet.
A judge has thrown out the cases against Letitia James and James Comey but they can't rest yet. The Justice Department has vowed to appeal the decision, and there is also the possibility that the Department will refile charges under a new prosecutor, this time properly appointed. The whole affair has been a PR black eye for the Trump administration and the two cases never should have been brought in the first place. But, what else is new about Trump and his minions?

Making It Up
President Trump is a master of making up facts out of nothing. Here he is again. His contentions don't even sound plausible but he speaks them with authority. He is a combination of sociopath and psychopath and dangerous.

Loud Mouth
Trump's fulminations against Democratic congressmen who put out a video telling soldiers not to obey illegal orders are an example of a loud, ignorant mouth. They had every right saying what they said and are solidly within the constitution.

Self Defeat
A corruption scandal in Ukraine is taking citizens' and allies' attention away from the conflict with Russia. It is a serious danger to Zelenskyy's rule and a possibility that Ukraine can defeat itself instead of holding off Putin. Zelenskyy has dismissed the ministers involved but there are concerns that he has not gone far enough. Ukraine was rife with corruption before Zelenskyy took office on a pledge to root out graft. The current scandal shows he hasn't succeeded. It is a PR blow to his rule and a serious distraction. He needs to clean the situation up quickly.

Dispatching It
It's a sad day when a President of the United States can dispatch the brutal murder of a journalist with the flip phrase, "Things happen..."

Striking Back
A judge is striking back at the Justice Department for missteps in the Comey investigation and none too soon. Is nothing there? It seems so. A PR black eye for Trump's choice of a prosecutor.
