This “Monday News Round Up” is confusing and amateur-looking.
I hope we can do better than this!
“Team Deep State”
I’ve never understood what Trump meant by this phrase and neither do my [highly educated] friends. I cannot believe Bobby Kennedy is going to use this term, too. All it does is remind people of Trump. Thereby alienating his natural allies -- liberals, Trump-haters. And of course this makes Kennedy enemies happy. They can cay, “See? He loves Trump.”
My own understanding was that “deep state” refers to people in the State Dept., CIA, FBI, long time bureaucrats who outlast all presidents and Congresspeople. But Wikipedia gives the phrase only a sinister connotation. PLEASE tell Bobby to stop using the term “Deep State.”
“…Antisemitism but Refuses to Report Blowing Whistle on Secret Bioweapons Research”
What this means I only understand because I watched his Zoom call with the rabbi yesterday. And had followed the news.
All that Zoom call with the rabbi did was make me worry Kennedy has now pledged himself so tightly to Israel that he will have zero opportunity to bring peace to Israel and the Palestinians when he is president. [Not that any other presidents have been able to 1. stop new settlements, 2. help non-Israeli Palestinians.]
This waffling on Israel is a truckload of worms as I’m sure he knows. I’ve watched the interview where the guy says he respects Kennedy so much because he was willing to actually change his mind about the billions of dollars we give Israel – in the middle of a recorded zoom call. So I had hope that Kennedy was going to try to stop that money we give to a modern, rich country when we need it ourselves. After the zoom with the rabbi I have zero hope that Kennedy will be any more open minded than all the other presidents we’ve had on the BILLIONS we give that rich country – since 1948!!!
But this mess over anti-Semitism and – good Lord! – bioweapons! -- lordy, lordy. What a mess Bobby’s love of scientific investigations has just brought him.
Also: He’s got to realize that every word he says is going to be pounced on by Biden people.
I guess the traditional rule that presidential candidates had to limit themselves to one message per day and not deviate from it – was a practical principle. Arbitrary, confining, and against our candidate’s entire personality and mind that that “rule” would be.
Your format for the “News Round Ups” ought to be different, maybe. Don’t put the negative ones first! I understand; You want to show how open minded we are. How gallant that we show the bad ones first. But the effect is that most people will only look at the first couple news stories and never get to the positive articles. Even your dearest friends – such as myself – will have that tendency. Don’t assume we will dedicate hours of our lives every day to reading Kennedy articles! [I have. But I’ve got to stop! It’s those videos of Kennedy interviews that are your best – your only! – selling points.]
