The Shovel's view on the Donald Trump FBI raid
https://www.theshovel.com.au/2022/08/10/the-shovels-view-on-the-fbis-raid-on-donald-trumps-home/
We are certainly no fans of Donald Trump lets make that clear from the outset. But yesterdays raid by the FBI on the home of a former president sets a dangerous precedent.
A precedent which now means that anyone who evades taxes, attempts to undermine an election, sexually assaults women, manipulates the value of their assets, uses state resources to enrich themselves or aids and abets the overthrow of a democratically elected government will be subject to investigation.
Is that the world we want to live in? Where anyone accused of insurrection can be subject to questioning from law enforcement officers?
Its a slippery slope. Before we know it, regular citizens accused of defrauding the government, concealing evidence, manipulating financial documents, tampering with witnesses or perverting the course of justice will also be held to account.

New Yorker Magazine: Inside the war between Trump and his generals.
https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/08/15/inside-the-war-between-trump-and-his-generals
n the summer of 2017, after just half a year in the White House, Donald Trump flew to Paris for Bastille Day celebrations thrown by Emmanuel Macron, the new French President. Macron staged a spectacular martial display to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the American entrance into the First World War. Vintage tanks rolled down the Champs-Élysées as fighter jets roared overhead. The event seemed to be calculated to appeal to Trumphis sense of showmanship and grandiosityand he was visibly delighted. The French general in charge of the parade turned to one of his American counterparts and said, You are going to be doing this next year.
Sure enough, Trump returned to Washington determined to have his generals throw him the biggest, grandest military parade ever for the Fourth of July. The generals, to his bewilderment, reacted with disgust. Id rather swallow acid, his Defense Secretary, James Mattis, said. Struggling to dissuade Trump, officials pointed out that the parade would cost millions of dollars and tear up the streets of the capital.
But the gulf between Trump and the generals was not really about money or practicalities, just as their endless policy battles were not only about clashing views on whether to withdraw from Afghanistan or how to combat the nuclear threat posed by North Korea and Iran. The divide was also a matter of values, of how they viewed the United States itself. That was never clearer than when Trump told his new chief of staff, John Kellylike Mattis, a retired Marine Corps generalabout his vision for Independence Day. Look, I dont want any wounded guys in the parade, Trump said. This doesnt look good for me. He explained with distaste that at the Bastille Day parade there had been several formations of injured veterans, including wheelchair-bound soldiers who had lost limbs in battle.
Kelly could not believe what he was hearing. Those are the heroes, he told Trump. In our society, theres only one group of people who are more heroic than they areand they are buried over in Arlington. Kelly did not mention that his own son Robert, a lieutenant killed in action in Afghanistan, was among the dead interred there.

After 2 1/2 years, Covid has caught up with me. Vaxxed and boosted, experiencing mild symptoms.
Runny nose, scratchy throat and just feeling run down.
