The Morning Report 6/3/24

Personal health update:

Unfortunately, the pathology report on the tumor that was removed has come back and it has been confirmed as a grade 4 glioblastoma. Essentially, it means that I do indeed have brain cancer. So the next steps are chemo and radiation in the hopes of staving off a recurrence, which is a real possibility and perhaps prolonging whatever time I have left and maintaining the best possible quality of life.

In all likelihood, I believe this means that I cannot continue blogging here as before. I cannot even begin to repay your prayers, kindness and support during these past months. 

Good morning, kids. The aftermath of the kangaroo court Stalinist show trial conviction of Donald Trump on 34 counts of a spurious invented charge which even during this entire revolting spectacle was never even defined either by the prosecution or the hack-in-black judge, who nevertheless issued a 55=page dossier to the jurors that essentially instructed them to find Trump guilty based on the notion that the seems guilty of something. 

What this means in terms of the upcoming election and more importantly, what this means in terms of our nation and society going forward is the big question.

The denial of due process infected every aspect of the case.”

The planned town hall would mark only the second time Trump has engaged with the platform since his suspension was lifted after Musk purchased Twitter in late 2022.
