Trump's gift to the press is Candy Karoline. At least she's better looking than Joseph Goebbels, by Hal M. Brown

 



Joseph Goebbels served his master well as his minister of propaganda. Without television Hitler didn't need a pretty face.


I watched Rachel last night when she explained unequivocally that Trump was intent on becoming a dictator and implied that anyone who denied this was a fool. If you watched this you may have had trouble falling asleep and woke from a nightmare in the wee hours of the morning. It may have crossed your mind that it is in these hours that Trump was wide awake and sending out a post on what probably should be called "Terror Social" announcing his latest assault on democracy.

How many of us look at the news on TV or online and ask ourselves "what did Trump do today?"

Just now having turned off MSNBC because they had John Larroquette on talking about the new "Night Court." I consider this their fiddling while Rome is burning. On CNN I watched a clip of Trump's Press Secretary, Karoline Leavit, lambasting the mainstream press for lying while effusively praising Trump for always telling the truth. This led me to write about her today.

Here's an article about her which people in India are reading.


This sentence jumped out at me:

The lifelong Trump loyalist is a avid gun-lover and shared a video on Instagram showing her unloading a machine gun at a firing range with the caption “Joe Biden come and take it”. 

Obviously she likes having a husband old enough to be her father. She seems to have a crush on someone old enough to be her grandfather.  Have I gone to far in suggesting this? How important is pleasing Trump to her? Consider this from the Hindustan Times:

Karoline Leavitt is a new mother who gave birth to a son in July last year amid Trump's election campaign. Leavitt refused to take a maternity leave and rejoined work four days after giving birth following an assassination attempt on Trump.

In the press conference she also announced that she was inviting podcasters, social media influencers, and new media voices to apply for press credentials. You can watch the video here.


At least she didn't call them journalists. Does anybody expect to see someone from The Bulwark or Salon added to the White House press corps?

Maybe I should apply.


I post my Substacks (formerly blogs) on several platforms. They are on Substack where, if you want to submit your email, you can be notified of all new blog posts. They are on HalBrown.org. They are also on Stressline.org I also post them on Medium because this enables them to be easily found on internet searches.





 




Hair of the dog, anybody? I have discovered who some of the FoxNews morning audience are. By Hal M. Brown

Above is a photo I took this morning of a commercial aired on FoxNews. It is for Redneck Rivera Whiskey. It costs $25 a bottle. This is how ...
