LEAVE IT TO MURDOCH-OWNED HARPER COLLINS

to be publishing James Comer’s heaping hee-haw of lies about President Biden and his imaginary crimes.

Sort of reminds you of the days when old Rupert wanted regulatory “relief” from Congress, and incoming Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich was magically offered by HarperCollins a whopping, wholly-unwarranted advance  as part of a two-book deal.

ONCE AGAIN, NBC FALLS INTO THE TRUMP COLUMN

Let’s not forget that it was NBC, sexual harrasing Jeff Zzucker, and Christo-fascist producer Mark Burnett who rehabilitated Trump from punchline to putative national success story on The Apprentice.

Now, NBC has just nailed its colors to the mast–as if we had any doubt–by platforming Trump’s coup accomplice Ronna Romney McDaniel.

Without the corporate media, Trump would be a used car salesman in Queens right now.

Dr. Schultz (you’ve read her in Ballet Review) writes from New Zealand about a biography she’s working on, with the working title Stepping Lightly: The Dancing Life of Thomas O’Carroll/Jan Caryll. 

It is the first biography of “one of New Zealand’s most significant, but forgotten male dancers.” Born Thomas O’Carroll, in Rangiora, North Canterbury in 1893 he ended life as “Jan Caryll” in London in 1985. 

He was called the “first male ballet student in New Zealand.”

CITY HALL DOESN’T WANT NEW YORKERS READING

This is a minicipality that bends over backwards to give billions of dollars of tax breaks to real estate plutocrats, yet is proposing massive cuts to our public library system.

Go to the New York Public Library’s web site at nypl.org and send a letter to our elected officials demanding that they get their priorities straight.

WHY DIDN’T AG GARLAND SMOKE OUT TRUMP’S MOLES IN THE DOJ?

Why did he, in fact, empower them?

Now that proof emerges that Trump apparatchik Robert Hur lied about Biden in his special counsel report, isn’t it time to bring Hur up on criminal charges?

Why was Hur allowed to resign from the DOJ? Why wasn’t he fired for misconduct?

FASCIST FANBOY DONALD J. TRUMP

He stands on the stage at Mar-a-Lago, arms stiffly at his side in one of those uniquely awkward stances he assumes,  gushing over the dictatorship of Victor Orban. 

The Biden camp needs to go to town with this footage.
