24° and Overcast
Revisiting Jack Smith
It’s the oldest trick in the 24-hour-media book – hold a bad story for release on Friday evening, preferably on a holiday weekend. The Republicans did it with damning testimony from Jack Smith. https://www.readtpa.com/p/house-republicans-buried-the-jack?utm_source=substack&utm_campaign=post_embed&utm_medium=web
Meanwhile about the Epstein files . . .
Endlessly redacted, not fully released and not compliant with conditions of the court-ordered release. Court orders are just a suggestion when you are above the law. https://www.npr.org/2026/01/02/nx-s1-5662638/epstein-files-release-trump-conspiracy-2026
Venezuela is Trump’s Ukraine
The Monroe doctrine no longer applies. It’s all about finding reasons for imperial expansion so we can take natural resources and enrich the United States. International law? That’s just a suggestion. If Putin can do it why can’t we? https://www.npr.org/2026/01/03/nx-s1-5665670/venezuela-strikes-us-maduro
