Pentagon says it will 'rotate' out some media from offices

Guess who???
Pentagon says it will 'rotate' out some media from offices - https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trumps-pentagon-says-it-will-rotate-out-some-media-offices-2025-02-01/

Summary:

New York Times, NPR, NBC News and Politico to be removed from Pentagon offices

Replaced by NY Post, One America, Breitbart and HuffPost

Over two dozen news organizations operate out of Pentagon

Added on edit:
"The only change will be giving up their physical work spaces in the building to allow new outlets to have their turn to become resident members of the Pentagon Press Corps."

The Pentagon Press Association, which represents journalists who cover the Defense Department, said it was "greatly troubled by this unprecedented move by DOD to single out highly professional media."

Another plane crash in NE Philadelphia, fiery crash,

possibly into homes.

The Night Agent, Season 2...

Pretty good story. The ending circles back to an image of current political concerns.

SPOILER ALERT:



The next season will center around whether a new president has obligations to a secret person.

Does $50/mo sound right for a Medicare Part D

premium? It's at least double what I paid in 2024.
I don't take a lot of drugs, all generic:
Synthroid, Bupropion, sertraline, clonazepam, HCTZ.
I'm going through the Medicare.gov site.

I need a little help about my expectations of my Part D

Medicare drug supplemental plan. I was paying about $24/month. But MoO has discontinued my coverage. The first quote I received for a new plan is for twice as much. Are all plans doubling in price for 2025? Is this due to capping annual out-of-pocket at $2,000 vs $8,000 this year?

I would love to be excited by this latest news,

but we won't know until the polls are closed and all of the ballots are counted. IOW, let's not get cocky. There is still work to do.

Trump needs to be on TV live in the evening so

more people can experience his sundowning. I really think he's more lucid in the morning, but his brain turns to mush later in the day.

I'm using a Kitchenaide pasta roller for fresh pasta.

The instructions say to roll out to the thinnest sheet. I'm using it for fettuccine. Should I stop rolling out dough at number 5 or 6 for slightly thicker pasta? I'll be eating it with pesto sauce.

I really wish Zelenskyy would skip meeting with

Trump in person. I don't trust or his staff not to poison or hurt Zelenskyy. For all we know, there could be an FSB agent on the payroll at Maralago. Those sneaky bastards love poisoning people.

So I watched Kirsten Dunst in "Civil War" on Max

yesterday. It is more about photo-journalism than the war, specifically, how a young, aspiring photo-journalist tags along with a team seeking to interview the president.

The movie was very imprecise with the reason for the civil war. California and Texas were a faction. Florida was a faction, I believe, and there was a reference to south Florida. The most notable reason for the war is revealed when someone on the radio is talking about the president refusing to leave office after 2 full terms.
