So…Trump says the FBI took his passports, CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell takes to Twitter to say a DOJ source denies it, then it is publicly confirmed the FBI did take Trump’s passports.
What goes through O’Donnell’s mind after that? She was directly lied to. It wasn’t a mistake or an error. She was lied to. Does she get upset? Does she yell at her source? Or does she just enter this fugue-state and not think about it until the news cycle moves on?

DC, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, and Massachusetts are the most affluent states if I’m not mistaken. Real income flows do not cover the waterfront in re quality of life, of course. What’s good for a particular household is going to depend on said household’s consumption preferences, family relations, &c.

Depends on how many intermediaries there are between the source and O’Donnell and it depends on whether the source was negligent or mendacious. Or, it would if O’Donnell herself were not a bad actor. Glenn Reynolds’ description of the media in our time: “Garbage people paid to lie for the Democratic Party” is on point here.
Kate, I don’t have a Mac, and will never own any Apple products. I’ll look at my Firefox setting to see if anything is in there.
Physicsguy, it’s probably in your browser preferences, because that’s where it appears on mine.
Kate,
Just found it for firefox…just right click and choose open in new tab. I do know a lot of sites have coded links to open in new tabs, just thought it might be an easy thing for Neo to do.
Look at this absolutely must view from Tucker Carlson, as he sums up what the Mar a Lago raid was really about, and connects the dots about our current extremely perilous political situation.
Guess I will comment on the Video. I am fascinated by the Cave Art. I wish I could see it in person. So much new things being found. Now, we have multiple Early Human types too. They were very good artists. Interesting no/few representations of humans.
}}} Neo, is it possible for any links in your posts or comments to open in a new tab instead of just going directly to the site?
If on a PC, right click, open in new tab, on Chrome. Should be something similar whatever browser you are using.

Yeah, just checked. Right click — “open in new tab” works in FFox.
I just always do this. That way you always get a new tab and an easy reverse to wherever you were, regardless of whether it’s rigged to use a new tab or not.
SHIREHOME– You might be interested in this Substack post on the absence of human figures in cave art: “. . . the lack of well-drawn human figures seems to be an universal phenomena before the bronze age. Cave art from Western Europe, Africa, Middle East, India, Americas and Australia consistently depict humans as stick figures while simultaneously putting considerable effort into sketching animals. . . . Even more oddly, painting the outline of human hands is very common and geographically widespread in cave art. My point is that people did not have taboos against representing at least some parts of a human being in non-schematic manner. . . . Why are the subjects of stone age cave art so different from those in all art made after the bronze or copper age began?”
There is a large mass of silly magic thinking going on in Boston ~Banning of fossil fuel in new buildings, forcing them to rely on alternative forms of heat — chiefly electric heat pumps — has been seen as a way to begin a larger-scale transition away from fossil fuel ~ because electricity is clean and wonderful and these folk are nuts. Same with best states to live in, quality of life can vary from one town or neighborhood to the next much more than one state to the next.
Well, well, well: the FBI returned the Trump passports it supposedly didn’t take:
“I think this goes to show the level of audacity that they have,” [Trump attorney Christina] Bobb said. “I think it goes to show how aggressive they were, how overreaching they were, that they were willing to go past the four corners of the warrant and take whatever they felt was appropriate or they felt that they could take.”
where does electricity come from, well the reliable kind,
Thanks Pa+Cat. Took a look at the article. Still fascinating isn’t it. I would be very interesting to find a depiction of a Neanderthal wouldn’t it.

Her source didn’t deny taking the passports. Her source said they weren’t “in their possession”.
Ace explains here. https://ace.mu.nu/archives/400508.php
The DOJ spun her with a claim they weren’t “in possession” of the passports — note that that’s not a denial of having stolen them in the first place, just a lawyerly claim about not currently being in possession of them — and Norah rushed right out, without asking follow-up questions, to claim this meant the DOJ was contradicting Trump.
Physicsguy, to open in a new tab, you can also hold down the “Ctrl” key, then press the link.

physicsguy– In case you’re still following COVID stats, here’s a news item for you: “Dr.” Jill tested positive today in spite of getting the jab plus boosters:
First lady Jill Biden tested positive for COVID-19 Tuesday on the last day of a family beach trip to South Carolina — just days after President Biden fully recovered from a weeks-long illness. The president’s wife, 71, is double-vaxxed and boosted, but returned a positive PCR test after developing “cold-like symptoms” Monday evening, according to a statement from her spokesperson, Elizabeth Alexander. The White House said that Joe Biden, 79, tested negative for COVID-19 Tuesday morning, but would wear a mask for 10 days when indoors and around others because he’s a close contact of his wife.

PA+Cat,
I’m still keeping all my stats. Most of the states are at an “endemic” level where the case numbers are flat and unchanging for the last 2 months. I expect them to go down a IF (big IF) the new CDC linguine about not testing asymptomatic people starts happening.
The Bidens are the poster children for vax effectiveness. Apparently “Dr.” Jill showed some mild cold symptoms so was tested. How many people now would even bother with a test for a few sniffles and a cough? I assume almost all leftists. Sigh…
linguine??? damn autocorrect…should be guidelines, not pasta!
Cave art doesn’t feature people, although the way they depicted animals proves they could have drawn people had the wanted to do so. However, there are many small sculptures of people, particularly women with exaggerated sexual features but very few facial features.
physicsguy– Given the CDC’s penchant for changing definitions (e.g., “vaccine”) and otherwise shifting course for political reasons, limp and overcooked linguine is the perfect word for its “guidance.”
Ha ha, I too thought “linguine” was a comment!
If you have a chrome machine and you wish to have a link open in a new page, first depress the Ctrl key and then click the link.
That’s it; even a paleolithic cave artist can do this, even though their only depictions of humans are stick figures or human-like figures wearing helmets that astronauts wear.
Here’s a downside of chrome machines:
If you are scanning a document there is no way to re-arrange pages; a real pain in the ass, esp. if you are scanning double sided pages.
And if you are using the glass to scan (and not the auto feeder) Chrome will consider each page a new document.
A real pain in the ass.
The near absence of drawings of people in cave art demonstrates that group think has always been with us.
The nail that sticks out, gets hammered down.
“Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.” Thomas Jefferson

well khashoggi was on the right side, rushdie reminds them they have picked the wrong side,
I’m so grateful to great-great-whatever-daddy-Cro-Magnon and great-great-whatever-uncle-Neanderthal.
Those folks had grit.
They got through Ice Age winters without central heat or iPhones. Not to mention modern plumbing or dentistry.
They didn’t exactly learn fast, but they learned and they learned to pass it on. Including a sense of beauty Picasso could envy.
Homo Sap 2022 isn’t passing that test with flying colors at the moment, but I prefer to see this as a low point and we’ll do better Real Soon Now.
physicsguy, I thought you fully meant to say ‘linguine’. In a way, it makes full sense. I was reminded of Hofstadter’s chapter on recursions in Metamagical Themas:
LINGUINI:
LAMBCHOPS (including NOODLES), gotten usually in Northern Italy
PASTA:
PASTA and SAUCE (that’s ALL!)
etc., all the capital words being expandable acronyms.
OT-OT…
Somewhat in line with cave art, I say, “Read the Bible.”
It’s not as old as cave art, but almost as bizarre, yet foundational. I can’t say I am a Christian, much less a Jew, but “Read the Bible.”
Then think about your ancestors who “Read the Bible” and steered their lives by what they read.
I’m not saying believe it, but “Read the Bible.”
physicsguy,
Clicking the links with the middle mouse button will also work.

Big upvote for that. “The Bible is the only book that reads you.”
