Makes Sense
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.

Shrinking
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.

Lemonade
What do you do when lemons are sour? Squeeze them, add sugar and make lemonade. That is what President Trump has done with the Kennedy Center. Artists were cancelling appearances at the venue after Trump put his name on the building, so Trump decides that the Center is old and dilapidated and needs a two-year refurbishment. Voila! Problem solved. Another example of his low cunning.

Lawsuit
The lawsuit against the IRS is merited but the amount in damages is questionable. Trump is making headlines again.
