Greetings! Trump on the warpath, part I: Last night he dropped an ominous warning to legacy media outlets  on Truth Social.  He wrote, “The Wall Street Journal, The Failing New York Times, The Washington Post, MSDNC, CNN, and all other Mainstream Media Liars, are ON NOTICE that the days of them being allowed to deceive the American People are OVER.” He didn’t elaborate what being “on notice” meant and what happens next, but it’s a chilling note nonetheless. And it comes a week after I received an offensive email from Truth+, the nascent streaming platform from Trump Media.  It was pushing me to sign up for the Patriot Package that includes hard-right TV outlets Real America’s Voice, Newsmax, OANN “and other pro-America news channels that risk being cancelled for refusing to suppress the truth in favor of woke propaganda”...Trump on the warpath, part II: He accused Barack Obama of “treason.” His crime?  Allegedly rigging the 2016 election, per ABC News.

Greetings! Vile. That’s my stomach-clenching reaction to the fake video on Truth Social that Trump posted showing Barack Obama being arrested in the Oval Office by FBI agents as The Donald observes passively.  Obama is then frog-marched out and tossed into a jail cell.

Favorite right-wing article of the day: American Spectator has a spot-on essay pining for the good ‘ol days when cars weren’t dominated by digital technology that makes a vehicle feel  like a “tablet bolted to a plastic coffin on wheels, ” opines the Spectator’s John Mac Ghlionn.”We now live in the age of touchscreen tyranny, where opening your glove box requires navigating through digital menus like you’re ordering takeout.
