Online Public Relations Thoughts

 Can you trust a leader who did this?  And why does Trump keep playing up to him?

The American public, which doesn't pay that much attention to politics, is souring on President Trump and feeling that Biden was better.  That's a significant turnaround a little more than a year into Trump's reign.  The Republican Congress had better watch out. 

 Ugly theater.  

A Federal judge was skeptical about the Pentagon's case against Sen. Mark Kelly for speaking out.  What Kelly said along with other veterans in Congress was that soldiers should not obey illegal orders.  That struck a nerve and the Pentagon reacted.  It made no difference that Kelly's remarks are part of a soldier's training.  Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was out for blood and it seems he will be denied. We'll know soon. 

Another newspaper shrinking to irrelevance.  When are newspaper owners going to realize that less news means fewer subscribers and a death spiral?  If they can't afford print, there is online.  The New York Times has millions of online subscribers and 570,000 print subscribers, a falling number.  Some day they will shut the presses but will continue profitably on the web.
