Over 3 years ago Russia invaded Ukraine.
On the third anniversary of that invasion, President Trump accused Ukraine of starting the War, though did not explain how such thing is possible given the undisputed geographic realities / occupations.

Jeff Bezos announces big change to Washington Post opinion page, top editor steps down, Opinions editor David Shipley also stepping down​

The billionaire owner of The Washington Post, Jeff Bezos, narrowed the topics covered by its opinion section Wednesday to defending personal liberties and the free market, a pivot away from its traditional broad focus and prompting the news outlet’s opinion editor to resign.
Bezos, who also is the founder and largest individual shareholder of Amazon, said on X that “viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others.”
The move was received by some as an indication that Bezos is making decisions for the storied news outlet with an eye toward avoiding retaliation by President Donald Trump. Bezos, though, cast the change as a modernization from the days when newspapers offered opinions on a broad range of topics. Now, he said, “the internet does that job.”

To clarify WaPo owner / $Billionaire Bezos' position:
The Washington Post newspaper will no longer be presenting an objective standard of editorial opinion, as that more conventional, traditional standard of objective journalism might be available elsewhere.

From the AP.JPG article above:

"... with an eye toward avoiding retaliation by President Donald Trump."

It is no exaggeration to acknowledge a paradigm shift in journalism can threaten humanity. This goes far beyond how many IRS employees Musk fires.

Trump's message when reported with full factual accuracy is alarming enough.
Sway U.S. media to the Trump slant, and we're in uncharted territory, terra incognita.

The centralized controller in this case is a convicted felon, a notorious, prolific liar, crony capitalist, oligarch. Our republic is in great jeopardy.

"Greatness" is not to be feared. What is alarming is the definition of "greatest" as applicable to this Trump administration. This Republican onslaught is a conservative nightmare, a catastrophe.
 
This one's a puzzle.

Congressman reveals hidden secret passageway from America's founding under Capitol floorboards​

'Construction started in the 1700s and there are all sorts of little hidden passages,' Rep. Moore said in a viral video of the secret passageway

a) The potentially innocent life-saving utility of such "secret" escape route is its secrecy.
Granted, the need of our federal legislators to safely evacuate our capitol during an armed insurrection is limited. BUT !!
There has already been such need in this new millennium. AND !
That need arose during the armed insurrection staged by the currently serving president Trump, during his first term, about four years plus a few months ago.

b) The People's right to know must be balanced with government's need to function.
What message can we draw from the fact that FOX is not merely reporting this "discovery", but providing explicit photographic clues to its location?
