Salman Rushdie telling @BILD:

“If there was a Palestinian state, it would be run by Hamas, and that would make it a Taliban like state. And it would be a client state of Iran. Is that what the progressive movement of the western left wants to create?” pic.twitter.com/3JvIlt1yEz

“Iranians aren’t mourning. Raisi was a brutal mass-murderer unbefitting of condolences. Sympathy with him is an insult to his victims whose only regret is that he didn’t live long enough to see the fall of the regime and face trial for his crimes,”

• SPECIAL COMMENT: The FIRST item, letter A, on Trump’s gag order: “Defendant is directed to refrain from making or directing others to make, public statements about known or reasonably foreseeable witnesses.”
• After the last time — after the last TEN times, to be exact —

• Justice Juan Merchan was explicit that, next time, he’d have to consider jailing Trump. Well Trump talked about witness Robert Costello — the one whom the judge metaphorically kicked in the gonads as the court day came to a roaring end. AND he talked about witness Michael Cohen and as the judge had ALSO explicitly stated, it didn’t matter if he was reading or quoting somebody else’s words. If there is any remaining doubt in Merchan’s mind that the premise of the Trump defense is not some kind of refutation of the charges but instead an all-out attack on the rule of law, on the judge, on the court, on its authority to dare to thwart Trump — the man who wants to put the “dick” in dictator — he must erase that doubt. This is why the outburst from the witness Robert Costello — an attorney — where he complained about Merchan’s rulings in real time — could be the last straw that sends Trump to the big house. That was Trump’s witness, the prosecution fought Merchan to keep him out, Merchan sided with the defense, the witness metaphorically spit in Merchan’s face.
• MEANWHILE: Alito has NOT changed his story again and there is no Democratic politician with the guts to even conduct a hearing into his amazing corruption. But Brian Beutler has a suggestion that could at least illuminate reality and punish Alito and the fascists for his perfidy.

• THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Politico is so corrupt that the boyfriend editor Calder McHugh hyping the girlfriend’s article doesn’t even bother to put it third or fourth on its list. The guy who finished second to Larry Hogan in the GOP Maryland primary? Robin Ficker? Does that sound familiar? And RFK Jr, wrong about his residence and just three presidents of Iran behind the times.

• THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: The event was a couple of days ago but there’s always time to celebrate not just the birthday of the immortal of Willie Mays but the day he gave a 20-year old me a radio interview that began with him doing a voice out of all the bigoted cliched movies of the 1930’s.

Good morning, good afternoon, good night, and good luck.
