Unsaying It. 

How do you unsay scathing criticisms you have written in a published book?  Kamala Harris is trying to find out.

A Fool 

Trump is a fool and a danger to pregnant women by claiming that Tylenol is linked to autism.  He has created a crisis for the company without evidence and he is flying in the face of massive studies that have found no link between acetaminophen and autism.  It is an outrage that he is getting away with such falsehoods, and it will now be up to the medical community and the media to correct his idiocy.

Free Speech 

He believes in free speech as long as it comes from Republicans and toadies who bow to his every wish.  Anyone else is to be investigated.

Look At What He Does 

As one expert on the CDC said on PBS Newshour last night, don't listen to what the HHS secretary says about not taking away vaccines from the public.  Look at what he does. He's restricting them and taking options away from doctors and parents.

Running Scared 

 This proves the major media are running scared and doing everything to please Trump.  Sad.

Clever 

 Clever but subversive.

Political 

If rightwing conservatives assassinate left-wing liberals, it's OK.  If left-wing liberals assassinate right-wing consrevatives, it's not.  It's all political and should be condemned on both sides.

Vile Remark 

This fellow's remark calling for the execution of the mentally ill was reminiscent of Nazi tactics.  It was vile and has no place in civilized society.  His apology was scarcely enough.

Overstated?  

The nation is divided but is this overstated?

Life, Maybe 

 NASA scientists reported finding microbial signs of life on Mars.  Or, maybe not.  No one can be sure until samples are brought back to earth-based labs for testing.  Unspoken is a simple fact.  Life as we know it is only on earth at this time so we had better take care of it, which we're not doing.  Not yet, anyway.  The dream of traveling to and living on Mars recedes the more we know about the barren planet.  Sure, we might get there but then we will have to come back because there is nothing sustainable there.  So too, the moon and the other planets in our solar system.  As for planets around other stars, they are so far away that we can't reach them.  This should be conclusive proof of the need for climate control and environmental action.

Now? 

Now will Trump pressure the Israelis to stop the war?  Or, should the US break with Israel until they do?

Deny, Deny, Deny 

When will Trump ever fess up to past actions?  He seems to have no knowledge of the truth when it comes to himself and his self-interests.  The pity of his behavior is that he is getting away with it.

Peace 

 Putin wants peace but on his terms and that means capitulation.  He's a stubborn leader.

Blow For Blow 

 RFK Jr. traded blow for blow in the theater of a senate hearing yesterday and emerged with Trump's backing.  That's a pity because Kennedy already has deeply damaged the US health system with his indiscriminate firings and deep suspicion of vaccines. He's a demagogue and a dangerous man.  The country deserves better but isn't getting it.

Unintended Consequence 

John Deere is suffering huge costs and diminished earnings because of Trump's tariffs, which are supposed to help American manufacturers.  It is an unintended consequence and dangerous to Deere.  That written, the price of farm machinery has been rising for years but farmers could afford to pay for it.  Now, no longer. What will Trump do, if anything?

Rumor 

“Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated."  This quote attributed to Mark Twain also applies to President Trump who was rumored to be dead over the Labor Day weekend. It is symptomatic of the wild rumors that presidents have to deal with.  The internet has let loose such raging falsehoods and given them international credibility.  It is a burden on communicators that won't go away and requires deft and immediate handling, including in the president's case making an appearance on Tuesday to answer a reporter's question, "When did you find out you were dead?"

Bread And Circuses 

 Putin learned from ancient Rome.  The way to keep a restive population calm is bread and circuses.  And it appears to be working.

Awakening 

As a native of California farm country, I know the value of immigrants when it comes time to nurture and harvest crops.  The Trump administration apparently does not.  Is Trump now awakening to the crisis he has caused in agriculture?
