But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
James 1:6
RIP Ryan
I hope you’ll join me in extending prayers and condolences to the family of former NFL and Arkansas Razorbacks quarterback Ryan Mallett, who died yesterday at 35 in a tragic drowning accident off the beach in Destin, Florida.
As you can see at that link, there were good reasons why he was called a football legend in Arkansas. Just last year, he became the head football coach at White Hall High School. What a terrible tragedy and what a loss for the generations of kids who could have learned so much from him.
CNN reporting takes another hit
Anything related to the persecution – sorry, “prosecution” – of former President Trump should be subject to the 24-hour rule (or 48 or 72-hour.) That means, don’t believe it until there’s been enough time for something new to come out and completely negate the last thing you heard.
For instance, yesterday, CNN had a “bombshell” report that they had obtained the audio tape that allegedly proved Trump was showing people a rejected plan to invade Iran and that he admitted he hadn’t declassified it. It looked bad for Trump’s case, but as I pointed out, it also looked bad for the Biden DOJ. They were already under suspicion of leaking anti-Trump tips to CNN, and if they’re trying to jail a former President for being careless with sensitive information, why was this important piece of state’s evidence now in CNN’s hands?
One of Trump’s attorneys had the same question. She said the DOJ is holding all this evidence close to its chest and not showing it to the defendants, so if only they had the tape, they had to have leaked it to CNN and “there better be some consequences.”
But wait! There’s more! In an even bigger surprise twist, CBS News reported that despite CNN’s claims that the tape was a central element of the case against Trump, the alleged Iran secret document isn’t even part of the records that make up the case against Trump. It might not even exist.
That would jibe with an earlier story we had that claimed the DOJ didn’t have that document, and with Trump’s claim that he wasn’t holding up a classified document but just a stack of news clippings and his comments were merely “bravado.” In other words, just a lot of bluster that's not meant to be taken seriously.
You know, like a news report about Trump on CNN.
