Nitpicks, or more
---Kanye West showing up at Trump Tower and looking somewhat miserable as he left with Donald Trump is explicable. A serious talent, popular musician, and black entertainer who, by all accounts is psychologically troubled of late, is embraced by Trump in his lobby as a "very long time friend". Put an adjective on this.
---Earlier here last year, Lester Holt was endorsed by this writer as a replacement for his egomaniac automaton predecessor. Now he is a news reader automaton as well. That was ok at the outset, but now he seems to be grasping at the opportunity in a way that would make his predecessors in the past gag. Not only does he read the news with no hint of understanding, he hosts a weekly show, Dateline, that highlights horrible murders, assaults, and grisly events. The constant advertising is "Don't Watch Alone". This persona would be anathema to the anchors of old. If this is his price for being an anchor, he should be pushed out. He is clearly not a serious person.
---There is an Alzheimer's Foundation that solicits donors. We have been contributors in the past. The leadership of this organization should be investigated for their salaries and their governance. Needless to say, many people support their supposed mission. As former donors, we now receive at least two letters each week, no exaggeration, requesting contributions. The charity has a current fund raising television advertisement on nightly news programs, not cheap to pay for out of donations, saying "Be the first to benefit from a cure." Alzheimer's and the variations of dementia do not have a cure underway. All reputable neurologists concur. The onset of these diseases begins well before their acute manifestation. For this "charity organization" to suggest that contributions could lead to a "Be the first" outcome is reprehensible. They are exploiting this horrible condition for some benefit. That is the assumption here, and they should be watched. Their leaders salaries and benefits should be a focus. They have an easy target as their beneficiaries and caretakers want any good news and the researchers, as doctors, are presumed to be indiscriminate in their view of sources of funds.
---John Allison for the Fed? Cato leader from North Carolina elites? Born into a family of small town banking wealth and Ayn Rand self serving blindness. This type of entitlement in the south is too well known here. Opinion here is that he is not a person who has earned any position of government responsibility.
