I agree with Trump on this one – CNN is doing the town hall for ratings

It’s a terrible idea

Do you think Trump would have agreed to a town hall of these topics were included? This is a desperate effort by CNN to regain ratings. They need Trump more than Trump needs CNN.

It will be good for CNN ratings which is all they care about. People will be curious to see how Trump and CNN handle the verdict. I won’t look – I stopped watching CNN.

Do you really think Trump would agree to a town hall where CNN did that?

They can’t. They’ll be swept away by Trump ‘s tsunami of lies.

I don’t think Trump would have helped his case vs. Carroll by testifying in person

Would Trump being there really have helped? He probably would have told more lies and attacked Carroll, her lawyer and the judge. Why think he would behave better than he has already?

House Republicans, with media help, spread allegations on Bidens with no factual support

This is a failure by Republicans and the media.

Here's basically an admission they don't have facts. They just want you to infer guilt. Pathetic that the media helps them spread this crap.https://t.co/8Iszy8Cbok

Delaney and Bonnie – It’s Been A Long Time Coming

Delaney and Bonnie recorded the album Home for Stax in 1968 and it was released in 1969. I know and really like some of their later records but didn’t know anything from this one until I heard the great “It’s Been A Long Time Coming” in the box set The Complete Stax/Volt Soul Singles Volume 2.

Covers: Pleasant Valley Sunday

“Pleasant Valley Sunday” was a 1967 hit for the Monkees. It was written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King.

“El Paso” is a famous Marty Robbins song from 1959. The Grateful Dead played it often and it was covered by the great Old 97’s.

I saw this on TCM in between movies.

The first American space trip

If you didn’t live through it, you have no idea how big a deal this was. We watched early American space flights in school. I can still name the severn Mercury astronauts.

A mini skyscraper

Look at all the stuff you can find on Twitter

You’re looking at the worlds littlest skyscraper.

It’s unassuming, but the story behind it is incredible.
