Peace on the left, justice on the right
I tell you all this because what’s new is old to me. And I have a slightly different perspective on the events following George Floyd’s murder.
BOOK REVIEW: ‘Crime in Progress,’ an attempt to set the record straight, offers other side of story
I found it refreshing that Simpson is honest enough to admit Fusion didn’t appreciate the great stakes involved, and I credit him with acknowledging the integrity of Christopher Steele, a man who’s been unfairly vilified. More than anyone else, he is the hero of this story.
Mueller for Dummies, Part II: Obstruction of justice
Mueller lists the actions that prompted his decision “that there was a sufficient factual and legal basis to further investigate potential obstruction-of-justice issues involving the President.”
Mueller for Dummies, Part I: Russia
Everything was made even more complicated for us when Attorney General William Barr and his deputy AG Rod Rosenstein decided to jump the gun and mischaracterize the report while keeping from Congress and the public the most easily understood sections of Mueller’s finding: the summaries.
ORANGE ALERT: The (almost) daily outrage
Even if he had obstructed something, he would have been well within his rights. Oh, and in the end, it was all Barack Obama’s fault.
REVIEW: ‘The Threat’ offers a nuanced look at the always-complex challenges of trying to enforce law and order
Andrew McCabe has spent his life on the front lines and appreciates the stakes in a way most of us can’t. His passion is matched by his sense of urgency. It says something when some of the toughest folks in the land—FBI officials, former CIA officials—are frightened.
REVIEW: ‘Team of Vipers’ spills secrets, exacts vengeance on fellow members of King’s Court
Is it possible the professed love of God that so many tout these days is akin to a one-way street? The Sessions’ kind of religiosity that permits wrenching immigrant children from the arms of their mothers and Cliff Sims’ ability to jump aboard the Trump Train as he ignores Mr. Trump’s pussy-grabbing sexual assaults, his repeated dalliances while his wife, Melania, was pregnant. Does God actually return the personal relationship favor? I’d like to think God deserves a higher class of devotees.
Interpretive transcript of Michael Cohen’s testimony
Vibe: Tribal ceremony, whereby tribesmen dance around their leader in absentia, throwing protective stardust on his aura.
The Trump Chronicles: Collusion, No. Conspiracy, Yes.
Let’s start with the fact, and praise be to the Times for finally using the right word, that there are too many people using the wrong word: “collusion.” The president and his odd PR attorney Rudy Giuliani insist there is no proof of capital “C” collusion.
Alan Chartock: Wait for 2020 to be rid of Trump
To attempt an impeachment now will just create a firestorm among the Trump true believers that will last for decades.
South County recreational pot shops score big wins from state cannabis commission
Theory Wellnesss’ Great Barrington adult-use establishment would be the first in southern Berkshire County with its final license. But down Route 7 in Sheffield, Berkshire Welco received its provisional license yesterday by unanimous vote from the CCC, and without conditions
ORANGE ALERT: The (almost) daily outrage
Mr. Cohen had implicated the president in payments to two women during the campaign to conceal affairs that they said they had with Mr. Trump [violating campaign finance laws].
BOOK REVIEW: ‘House of Trump, House of Putin,’ the plot to put a Russian operative in the White House
Unger makes several startling claims: Trump was but one of dozens of U.S. politicians and businesspeople targeted over more than 20 years who became indebted to Russia.
BOOK REVIEW: ‘Full Disclosure’ by Stormy Daniels disrobes the president
For me, one of the most compelling and completely unexpected matchups we are witnessing these days is Stormy vs. the Donald. And so how appropriate would it be if their dalliance, his lies about it, and his clumsy attempts to mock and minimize and silence her bring down a president who boasted of his ability to sexually assault at will?
‘Unhinged’: The World According to Omarosa Manigault Newman
These days we are all a bit unhinged. Omarosa Manigault Newman helps explain why.
‘Below the radar and above the shops’: Great Barrington’s upstairs economy
“We all love living here and want to be able to work downtown, go downstairs and get coffee and go across the street and get food. I like to go next door to buy my clothing.”
— Asa Hardcastle, whose Tonic 5 software development company is on the floor above Tom’s Toys on Main Street
Smoke Signals from the Swamp: Michael Cohen – the early years
Since we’re working our smoke-signal way through the supporting cast the president has surrounded himself with, it’s probably a good time to get to know the president’s private attorney. And because of the recent raid on his offices and the seizure of a massive amount of documents and some recordings, Michael Cohen’s importance in the Russian Affair and the Neverending Obstruction looms even larger.
BOOK REVIEW: ‘Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin’s War on America and the Election of Donald Trump’ by Michael Isikoff and David Corn
Isikoff and Corn try to answer an essential question: Why is Trump so enamored of Putin? So willing to turn a blind eye to Russia’s efforts to sabotage American democracy, so unwilling to strike back when he continually brags about his commitment to answer every blow with 10?
Another Berkshire pot emporium: Sheffield distiller proposes marijuana facility
As required of anyone seeking a cannabis license in the state, Christopher Weld and Micheal Cohen of Berkshire Welco held a public information session Tuesday night at Sheffield Town Hall.
School and farmer, both on economic tightwire, work through solar dilemma
Among the usual farm stressors, lowered milk prices prevented farmer Bob Coons from expanding the cowherd, leaving him to look for new ways to survive and leasing 20 of his roughly 200 acres, mostly wetlands, being his only shot at staying on the land his family has farmed since the 1950s.
