In covering the news, one must be mindful of Mark Twain’s admonition about New England weather: If you don’t like the weather in New England, just wait a minute – it will change.
In no particular order, this is what’s new:
FROM FOX NEWS -- "Representatives
of the Squad are trying to harm the coexistence and partnership that exist in
the region between Arabs and Jews," Haddad said. "I think it was
[Alexandria] Ocasio-Cortez herself who said she had no idea about the
geopolitics of this region—she’s right. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib know
exactly what’s going on here, but they decide to lie and twist the facts."

FROM REASON -- Now
there's a legislative push in Connecticut to finally reform the state's eminent
domain laws to prevent another situation like Kelo's. HB 5123, introduced by
Rep. Tami Zawistowski (R-Suffield) would stop the state and its municipalities
from using eminent domain to take property that would be used for any project
that generates income for a private commercial purpose.

FROM THE TELEGRAPH --
Scrutiny is likely to only increase after Ghislaine Maxwell, the only person in
jail for crimes related to the pedophile financier, offered to speak about the
Epstein files before Congress.
“Despite the rumors, Ghislaine was never offered any kind of
plea deal. She would be more than happy to sit before Congress and tell her
story,” a source close to Maxwell told The Daily Mail.
“No-one from the government has ever asked her to share what
she knows. She remains the only person to be jailed in connection to Epstein and
she would welcome the chance to tell the American public the truth.”

FROM NEWSWEEK -- AND
THEN THERE'S THIS: Where there is no crime, there can be no prosecution is
fundamental to what has sometimes mistakenly been called "the rule of
law." In fact, it is the fundamental rule governing the rule of law: Nulla poena sine lege (latin for "no penalty without
law") Reasonable men and women should enforce the rule and give no head to
speculation. And so ... From Newsweek --
"This systematic review revealed no incriminating 'client list.' There was
also no credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals
as part of his actions," said the memo.
"We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an
investigation against uncharged third parties."

MEANWHILE, IN NEWSOM'S ECOLOGY SENSITIVE CALIFORNIA... FROM THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICAL

addressing the illegal use of toxic pesticides at unlawful cannabis grow

"We are battling something far bigger than just an
illegally grown plant. This is about environmental destruction, human
trafficking, banned chemical fumigants, and transnational organized crime
networks operating with impunity across rural America," said Siskiyou County

get support from the State and Federal partners, the long-term consequences to
public health and California's ecosystems will be irreversible."
