Middleboro Review and so on

  Meidas+  cross-posted a post from  Scott MacFarlane Reports MeidasTouch Network Mar 30 · Meidas+ Read Scott MacFarlane’s morning editorial note DAY AHEAD - My daily editorial note - March 30, 2026 Scott MacFarlane Mar 30   Some days – more than others – our government feels like it’s trying to produce a bunch of rage bait. They’re picking fights.  But perhaps not the ones people wanted.   From Iran, to airports, to public safety, to Epstein to gas prices – this day will raise questions about whether leaders are tackling the  REAL  priorities or the  REAL problems. 1)       I’ll start with Iran.
