First, though, good news for Republicans, as signs are showing that the rift between Elon Musk and Donald Trump is beginning to soften.  Musk deleted the Epstein and impeachment allegations from his X platform, while Donald Trump, when asked about taking back the symbolic White House key he gifted to Musk, responded:   I don't take things back, I gave him a key, he tried very hard, praising the efforts of DOGE . About  Vladimir Putin's revenge strikes against Ukraine , he launched hundreds of drones....killing maybe four.  But how accurate were Ukraine damage to Russian bombers?   NBC  says maybe only half of the 40 cited were damaged, and some not totally.  Still, Putin hasn't quite yet ended his retaliation campaign, for Ukraine's foray was truly remarkable. Yesterday, I alerted you to two productions on television.  One of them was  Celebrating 50 Years of Broadway's Best by PBS .  Watched it. First, this was originally show...

Tonight 9PM emanating from CNN in Atlanta is the first Trump-Biden debate of 2024.     I provided details on Monday .  How important is this face-off compared to debates in all of history? Is the earth flat? Is earth the center of the universe?   Nicolaus Copernicus in 1580 begged to say otherwise, quietly, and so did Galileo a couple decades later.

  This will be a crucial week for Donald Trump.   Might begin okay today, as  Judge Aileen Cannon continues to hear arguments  regarding the classified documents trial dealing with specifics of the case.  Being a Trump appointee, Cannon has already made too many concessions to Trump's team, for she could well be replaced.    In any case, all these matters must be on the mind of Trump when he should be focused on the June 27 debate against Joe Biden, while awaiting the Supreme Court's decision on immunity from prosecution for his attempted coup on 6January2021.   In any case, the worst Trump could get in this trial would be a small slap on the wrist.  There is so little time and more important matters upcoming. In 2020, three debates were scheduled, but Trump's COVID-19 diagnosis cancelled one.  The  first debate  drew 73 million viewers (third most watched of all debates) was won by Biden.  This is the one Biden ...
