Swamp...

Efforts to impeach Donald Trump have been made by various people and groups who assert that U.S. president Donald Trump has engaged in impeachable activity both before and during his presidency. 

Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi announced that six committees would undertake formal impeachment proceedings because of reports about controversial interactions between Trump and the country of Ukraine.^[7] 

The Democrats gained control of the House in 2019 and launched multiple investigations into Trump's actions and finances.

No impeachment steps were taken against presidents of the US who started Wars in the Middle East for no good reason and caused generational deterioration in the progress of humanities,  killed directly or indirectly hundred of thousands of civilians and military people.

Tankers...

Tanker freight rates soared to their highest levels of the year this week as Asian importers scrambled to secure crude supplies from the U.S. after attacks on Saudi Arabia’s oil facilities took a big chunk out of global output.

“It’s been crazy over the last week and demand for very large crude carriers continues to be strong this week from traditional Far East importers like Korea, China and Japan,” said George Lazaridis, head of research and valuations at Athens, Greece-based vessel brokerage Allied Shipbroking Inc. “Oil majors like Exxon Mobil and Vitol have been very active seeking VLCC [very large crude carrier] bookings.”

London and Singapore brokers said daily spot rates for supertankers were quoted at above $43,000 this week from less than $30,000 before the Sept. 14 attacks in Saudi Arabia.

“Chinese importers have been advised by Beijing to avoid U.S. cargoes because of the ongoing trade tensions, but when there is so much demand, such things are sidelined,” a London broker said.

Free...

And all of you will be paying dearly more taxes to make me on the top of the democratic ticket. But it is not about money. It is FREE.

Drama...

Since the news broke that President Donald Trump made a request/demand that Ukrainian prosecutors investigate Joe Biden’s son, the president’s allies have blanketed cable news with allegations against the former vice president.

A New York Times reporter reminded viewers that “there’s a story here” about Joe Biden and his son.
Trump himself accused the Bidens of corruption.

To say Democrats are losing the ability to control this story would be an understatement. The allegations led Biden to angrily jamming his finger in a reporter’s face when asked about his son over the weekend, in an attempt to place the focus back where it belonged.

Media, for the most part, want drama, intrigue, and outlandishness. In Trump, they have a president who doesn’t hesitate to give it to them. Democrats, meanwhile, act as if such displays are beneath them, and cede the stage to Trump. Now, they may have to start prematurely to explaine many of the issues they ignore.  Just a thought.

Kibosh...

The years-long legal battle over a canceled big-bucks Manhattan wedding has finally reached a resolution.

Bradley Moss of Long Island and Amy Bzura of New Jersey were all set for a lavish, $378,000 wedding at the Pierre Hotel when the groom’s parents put the kibosh on the October 2016 nuptials.

The trouble began at a rehearsal dinner, when Moss’s parents, Robert and Wendy, got into a heated argument with one of the bride’s brothers.

They took it upon themselves to cancel the wedding against the couple’s wishes and called guests to tell them not to show up, according to court papers.

A tortured legal drama unfolded when Robert Moss threatened to disinherit his son if he didn’t kick Amy to the curb, and police were called to escort the would-be bride to collect her belongings from their apartment.

Optimism...

Looking on the bright side is more than a tool for taking life’s ups and downs in stride. An optimistic outlook is also good for your health, according to new research.

“Thought patterns and mindsets are the most intimate parts of our experience,” said Dr. Alan Rozanski, lead author of a meta-analysis on optimism.   "We have known for a few decades now that there's a relationship between psychological factors and heart disease.”

The new meta-analysis, which examined 15 studies on optimism and health and utilized data from 229,391 individuals, found that a person’s tendency to think positively about the future was linked with a 35% lower risk for heart disease, and a lower risk of death.

Rozanski, a cardiologist in New York, thinks a better application of the new optimism research might be to offer pessimism treatment as part of cardiac rehab programs.

Here it is. Just a thought.

The Core...

A New York Times editorial board member who raised eyebrows when old tweets critical of “white people” resurfaced, is no longer employed by the Gray Lady, a report said.

“Sarah decided to leave the editorial board in August,” Kate Kingsbury, a deputy editorial page editor told CNN. “But we’re glad to still have her journalism and insights around technology in our pages through her work as a contributor.”

In a since-deleted 2014 posting, Jeong wrote: “Oh man it’s kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men.”

Dumbass f–king white people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants,” she wrote in another.

The Times stood by Jeong throughout blowback, but she remained a lightning rod for criticism through her one year tenure at the paper.

Denied...

Famed defense attorney Alan Dershowitz  forcefully denied that he had sex with an underage girl provided to him by Jeffrey Epstein.

Standing outside a New York City courthouse, Dershowitz pushed back against the claims by accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre.

"I've never met Virginia Giuffre. I've never had sex with her. And the reason I'm saying it is because it's true," Dershowitz said to a gathering of reporters after a hearing related to a defamation lawsuit filed against him.

The accused is usually a rich and famous guy and the accuser is what appears to be innocent young female.

There is more to the story that ought to be discovered before we blast the story out in the media. But the media is certainly after the hype regardless.      Just a thought
