"Crossfire"?! Doesn't that means fire coming from opposite directions? There is a difference in editorial leanings between Sky News UK and Sky News Australia...

I've been to Los Angeles a few times, but not enough to know my way around. The thing which amazes me the most is that a section of freeway can be shut down...even on a Sunday.

There are reports it will cost $millions just to reenforce the streets in DC. It makes me wonder how much damage is being done to the railroads and bridges between Texas and there.

My nephew was working at a sub shop in North Florida...a customer comes in, places his order, then says "but I don't want any of them N***** olives!" There is no good comeback to that.

What IS surprising is that Kennedy got his JD from U of VA and studied at Oxford in England. The Foghorn Leghorn accent is an affection of the worst kind.

"these are real people with real families you're hurting." I guess the "acting director" has no sense of irony...

Gotta give the man who wrote this credit for verbal efficiency...I know I couldn't fit that many lies into less than 30 actual words.

If Trump's a book critic, let me tell you my opinion of reality tv...

When I was a kid, all we had to worry about were creepy guys in white panel vans offering ice cream...

I'm not sure what Rep Mary Miller believes...this is the Freedom Caucus rep from rural Illinois. She said the Dobbs decision was an "historic victory for white life" and quoted Hitler in a speech to the conservative "Moms for America" group...just a girl next door type, I guess.

Who actually READS the news today? Maybe on line, but not from a newspaper...people hear the news, or see the news. Some may even ignore the news, oh boy!

Thanks for the update, Tracy. It's been years since I lived in Milford. The 4-5% sited is per Wikipedia...my friends in high school never worried about their INS status or that of their parents. And, none of us ever feared being swept up by Federal agents.

Milford, Massachusetts is a small town of 30,000 in Worcester County. Most of the residents are Irish, Portuguese or Italian. Some are citizen, some are not. The latest stats show about 4% are Hispanic. I graduated from High School there...and I'm proud of all of them.

Your first story was about Milford. I graduated from MHS, and I'm proud of the people there. The town has around 30,000 people, mostly of Irish and Italian descent. Between 4 and 5 percent are Hispanic: why are they targeted? The Globe now reports ICE was after the boy's father...OOOPS!

What a great job Ms Lyons has...she can offer press conferences, but can keep saying "I can't comment on that."

So Cat Turd is trademarked? Probably to keep the thousands of others vying for the right to call themselves cat turd from calling themselves Cat Turd...or Caturd.

I'm no expert on NYC politics in general, nor about rank choice voting in particular...but you guys have a candidate on the ballot called Love Prince. Are we to take this seriously?

I'm surprised the NY Times didn't talk to her in a local diner...but I guess they only do that during elections. She obviously thinks deporting moms is bad, but everyone else is fair game...if ignorance is bliss, she must be ecstatic.

Though sheet music isn't the thing it was 50 years ago, the big money remains in publishing...that is, owning your own songs. Taylor Swift knows this, thanks to her anonymous financial advisor.

It's fortunate she's in New Zealand. Otherwise, Trump would have her working under Bobby Kennedy in some "health" capacity...assuming Trump could find NZ on a map...

In an earlier post I talked about Trump's phrase of "Happy Memorial Day" being tantamount to saying "have fun at the funeral". I was joking...apparently he is not.

The phrase "Happy Memorial Day" always irritates me. It's like saying "have fun at the funeral!"... Trump may have "the best words", but that doesn't mean he has a clue about context.
