    Prices. Borders. Crime. Some don't want to talk about them. But voters will vote on them in 2022.

    Latest in For all the attention on how Trump might try to steal the 2024 elections in swing states - if prices/border/crime issues are not addressed pronto, the twice-impeached ex-president could well win without cheating

    "Loss is a magical preservative. Time stops at the point of severance, and no subsequent impressions muddy the picture you have in your mind. The house, the garden, the country you have lost remain forever as you remember them." - Eva Hoffman, Lost in Translation

    "We're not gonna back down," declare unvaccinated health care workers - almost all of whom did eventually back down. Seriously, local news, knock this off.

    How's the mass campaign of civil disobedience against vaccination mandates going? Out of 76,000 employees, New York's Northwell healthcare group this week fired an estimated two dozen managers for vaccine refusal. Company vax rate is now 100%.

    This story is a perfect example of how not to cover COVID mandates: 1) Vague, indefinite predictions 2) Unreliable sourcing 3) No sense of scale or denominator 4) Culminating in that sole source later in the same story admitting he's just gassing

    Massachusetts employs more than 1,800 uniformed state troopers. If 20 or 30 of them do resign over vaccine mandates - well, that's one way to identify the officers least committed to protecting public safety.

    If large numbers of Massachusetts troopers do resign over mandates - we'll see - that decision may be enabled by the favorable pension deals they receive, no matter what else they have done. August 2021:

    Also, the Massachusetts state police union's claims need to be viewed with even more skepticism than most. Here eg a headline from the Boston Globe in May 2021

    Re-upping this for all who need to be reminded of it

    A plea to all reporters covering vaccine mandate stories: 1) Write about what has happened, not about what anti-vax agitators predict will happen 2) Always include the denominator. If 100 people are suspended at a 100,000 student university, that's a compliance rate of 99.9%

    One of Trump's superpowers was that he understood on some deep level that one scandal can be covered as an abnormality, but dozens of scandals simply can't. Make the scandalous a daily familiarity - and then *whatever* reporters say, the tedium of repetition will dull outrage

    CNN’s Brian Stelter highlights failure of news broadcasts to cover the Trump coup memo Stelter: “Reporters who treat this like it's normal, because they want to sound fair and balanced, are part of what's broken”

    The tweet works equally well no matter how you reorder its component parts, eg: "One of the most sought champion opossums is barrel racing his boudoir photographer after he says state officials swarmed his property in the Southeast and took Matt Matthews."

    One more Trump detail from Nancy Reagan bio: in 1989, Ttump attended a fundraiser for the Reagan library aboard the yacht of Malcolm Forbes. He was asked by Forbes and Walter Annenberg to give $1 million. He pledged $25,000 instead - then never paid
