A whole vocabulary of mediaspeak terms applied to real life has gradually emerged. Included here, among others, are: collateral damage, neutralized, canceled, surgical strike, playbook, rules of the game, high-value target, and gamechanger.

One, this is just a headline from people magazine, quote, The biggest bombshells from RFK Jr.'s diaries: slicing off a raccoon's penis, flying with Epstein and listing the women he bedded.

On the morning of the Unite the Right rally, I lumbered down the staircase of a Catskills Airbnb rented for a bachelor party to learn that only hours before, a gang of white nationalists stormed the University of Virginia campus wielding Tiki torches and chanting, 'Jews will not replace us.'

Ellison's dinner party for Trump and the CBS News crew will be held at the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace, which the president renamed last year from the U.S. Institute of Peace.

I would just say to Eric, you know, get this thing fixed up at home, the best he possibly can. I think it was very smart for him to leave the Congress and the race behind him.

We have known that Russia and Iran have this symbiotic, have this strategic partnership for some time now. I will just point out too, because a lot of critics out there are making hay of this, it was President Trump that put sanctions on Russia's largest oil producer, Rosneft. He also put sanctions on Lukoil. The Biden administration did not do that for many years.

If the infrastructure is not taken out and the money is not taken away why should Iran come to the peace table. They are taunting us with $200 oil. They do not have the cards; our military must be unleashed. Time to do what we did to Hanoi—to get them to the table.

The reason PROFESSIONAL WARRIORS avoid unnecessary TAUNTING of the Enemy: it can come back and Bite, HARD. And it's the PILOTS who fly over enemy territory at Risk. I served with FOUR PILOTS who got shot down and TORTURED. Lose an engine (only one in the F-35, thanks a lot Lockheed Martin!) and they'll be the ones to answer for Pete's Rhetoric.

But then in a country where I've read 80-90% of the people are thrilled that the Ayatollah is gone. What picture did they put? Picture of people mourning the Ayatollah. Which exists, but I can't believe that somebody at the desk didn't get, I've got a great picture of people dancing in the streets' Yeah. we're going to go with the 10% who are sorry the Ayatollah is dead because that's going to funnel the thought of our readers toward oh this is a bad war to get into'.

A sitting president publicly signaling that he wants CNN sold is corrosive. It is abnormal for the White House to treat the ownership of a major news network as a matter of personal interest. When regulatory atmospherics appear to align with presidential preference, that warrants scrutiny.
