Middleboro Review and so on

               THE FOUNDATION OF DEMOCRACY IS BUILT ON FREEDOM OF THE                     PRESS! Trump’s Ban Is Backfiring As the media unites against him Dan Rather and Team Steady Sep 21 Credit: Getty Images Journalism has survived dictators, despots, and others who have tried to control the Fourth Estate. It will survive Donald Trump too. He can expel reporters from the White House, but the reporting won’t stop. By this point, we all know facts are not this president’s friend. He can lash out, but by every indication a majority of the American people have long since caught on to his act, mostly because of rigorous journalism. The press isn’t looking for a red carpet, but it has a legal right to report from inside the People’s House, whether this president likes it or not. Lately, he’s been hearing about stories from sources he can’t control (i.e., not Fox). When the truth stings, this...

IT'S IMPORTANT  TO SEND PEOPLE TO CONGRESS THAT WORK FOR THE GOOD  OF THEIR COMMUNITIES! Photo Source: Manteca Bulletin As you know, I love dogs. My wife Pam and I have fostered and taken care of dozens of rescue dogs over the years, and I’m a huge advocate for our four-legged friends in Congress.  That’s why I’m so proud that we recently secured $850,000 to expand a local animal shelter in our district that serves around 1,500 animals every year! These funds will help expand kennel capacity and create a new veterinary clinic to improve care for shelter animals while increasing access to affordable veterinary services for our community. It’s a win-win-win, and I’m thrilled we are taking another major step forward. This is why I love the work I do, and I’m so grateful to represent you. If you can chip in a few bucks to help me win re-election this year and keep fighting for working families (including our pups) I would greatly appreciate it! DONATE » — Josh   You are...

Soldiers Are Dying. Farmers Are Going Under. The Speaker Canceled The Rest Of The Year. Mike Johnson canceled the rest of the session and sent the House home until mid-November. The farm bill dies in nine days. A farmer named Conrad Cable is running to take his seat. Defiant Donkey Sep 21 Mike Johnson runs the United States House of Representatives. Two weeks ago he canceled the rest of the session and sent everyone home until the middle of November. Ten weeks. The farm bill expires in nine days. He Locked The Door And Left Farmers have been waiting three years for a farm bill. Energy costs are up. Tariffs gutted their prices. The law that holds the whole system together runs out September 30, and the House will not be in the building when it happens. Johnson’s reason: his members wanted to go campaign. That is the actual reason. He shut down the lawmaking branch of the United States government for ten weeks so Republicans could knock on doors and ask for their jobs back. Nobody Is Com...

      Can you believe this? Actually, it's really not much of a stretch — especially when the person sitting in the Oval Office is obsessed with naming things after himself. So much so that he'd rather throw a tantrum and force the Kennedy Center board to close because a judge wouldn't let him add his name to the building . When will he get the message that anything his grubby hands touch gets worse ? I mean, just look at how he vandalized the reflecting pool and obliterated the entirety of the East Wing of the White House for a pompous ballroom. If Trump and his goons spent half the energy they do for debasing monuments, institutions, and lakes on their actual jobs, we might be able to bring down the cost of gas, food, and housing. You know, the type of stuff politicians are elected to do. Never forget that narcissists make good villains — not good civil servants. We're nine days away from our campaign's end-of-quarter deadline. As someone who's spent his l...
