MY THOUGHTS About The News.

Previously posted in my Facebook page. 

New York Times: “Trump Sues ABC and Stephanopoulos, Saying They Defamed Him.” And adds: “The lawsuit stems from the anchor’s recent contentious interview with Representative Nancy Mace.” Today’s media earn/s huge-ass profit by defaming, shaming, and insulting whoever they deem super-baits for nonstop clicks. So Mr Trump was fined millions$ for his nasty mouth; holier-than-thou talk show hosts didn’t. So Donald hits back. This is showtime politics of the moneyed! 🏛🗽🏛

New York Times: “Mayor Adams Is Accused of Sexually Assaulting a Colleague in 1993.” And adds: “In a lawsuit, a former police colleague of Eric Adams said that he demanded oral sex in exchange for career help in 1993 and assaulted her when she refused.” Ain’t we getting tired of Mr Adams’ shenanigans and ineptitude? It’s not like Conservative media is solely policing him; liberal papers such as NY Times relentlessly cover and expose his dirt. 🗽👎🗽

New York Times: “It’s Not You: Dating Apps Are Getting Worse.” And adds: “Hinge, Tinder, Bumble: They used to be free and maybe too good to be true. Now paid versions and fatigue are making dating apps worse — and expensive.” I can’t relate. Must be that I aged? Been there, done those. The dating game. Yet it’d be cool to meet a female friend, post-Covid and amidst all the hate, essentially as a conversation partner. Is that even a possibility these days? 👩‍🦰❤️‍🔥👱‍♂️

New York Times: “How Trump’s Allies Are Winning the War Over Disinformation.” / “Trump Says Some Migrants Are ‘Not People’ and Predicts a ‘Blood Bath’ if He Loses.” Except with the New York Sun, most news sources that I read are known liberals. I don’t know the extent of similar silly mudslinging that “conservative” papers hurl at Joe Biden. All I know is NY Times et al toss hate-Trump shitbombs as though their readers are all partisan idiots. 🏛🗽🏛

New York Times: “What Trump’s TikTok Flip-Flop Tells America.” And adds: “On yet another issue, Trump sides with a foreign adversary over America.” Ah media rabblerouse. Why would China be a “foreign adversary” when top U.S. giants do business out there, for decades! Apple Inc., General Motors, Microsoft etc etcetera. Yet any hot chili that comes out of The Donald’s mouth offers distorted think-tank ideas for his political foes as we head to November. 📱🗽📲

New York Times: “Nicole Shanahan Emerges as a Top Candidate to Be R.F.K. Jr.’s Running Mate.” The Bay Area lawyer and investor was the primary financial backer behind Mr. Kennedy’s Super Bowl ad. Uh huh. Bobby Junior considered NFL’s Aaron Rodgers and now, who? Tell me, do top Super PAC donors qualify as kickass political running mates? Then why aren’t Sheldon Adelson, Harold Simmons, George Soros, or Bob Perry not in any party’s shortlist? 🏛🗽🏛

New York Times: “Why a Native American Nation Is Challenging the U.S. Over a 1794 Treaty.” The Onondaga asked an international commission to find that the U.S. violated a treaty guaranteeing the nation 2.5 million acres of land. The first U.S. treaty with an American Indian tribe was ratified in 1778. A total of 374 treaties were ratified from that point. Yet almost all have been violated by the U.S. government. So this new one is met with resigned skepticism (sic). 🗿🗽🗿

New York Times: “Food Experts Predict ‘Imminent’ Famine in Northern Gaza.” And adds: “The warning came amid an Israeli raid on Al-Shifa Hospital. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also agreed to send military and humanitarian officials to Washington to hear the Biden administration’s concerns.” This ensued following President Biden’s phone chat with PM Netanyahu. So Bibi’s people are flying to DC to hear what they already know? Wild, wild world indeed. 🇮🇱☮️🇵🇸

Rolling Stone: “The Inventor of Karaoke Has Died, But His Legacy Is Louder Than Ever.” I’m not worthy! I’m not worthy! Same reverence that I gave Mr Momofuku Ando, the inventor of Cup-a-Noodle ramens. Karaoke is a very popular pastime for Filipinos. Some would literally die for it. On one sad night, a microphone hugging Pinoy was shot dead for singing the longest song ever on the karaoke list: Frank Sinatra’s “My Way.” The perp couldn’t wait for his turn. True story. 👩‍🎤🎼🧑‍🎤

Time: “Why You Shouldn’t Wear Makeup When Exercising.” I wondered out loud, as well, when I strode in a gym in Los Angeles years ago–to see an instructor friend though I didn’t ask. Some of the women had make-ups. Lipstick, eyeliners, mascara? I guess, the same reason as why many women basketball players wear false eyelashes? To look good? Lookin’ good is good. No argument. But “experts” say don’t wear makeup when on a treadmill. Google and read the quoted line. 💋🏋️‍♀️💄
