I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
Bill Owens is a journalist, who has worked at “60 Minutes,” the finest and most venerable journalistic program in the United States, for 24 years, and for the last six as its executive producer.
He has been forced out of “60 Minutes” by the insatiable greed of Shari Redstone, who has demanded that Bill Owens bend the knee to Donald Trump.
Bill Owens did not bend the knee.
Bill Owens took a stand.
Thank you, Bill Owens.
Don't leave anything for later.
Later, the coffee gets cold.
Later, you lose interest.
Later, the day turns into night.
Later, people grow up.
Later, people grow old.
Later, life goes by.
Later, you regret not doing something... when you had the chance.
You always own your intellectual property, mailing list, and subscriber payments. With full editorial control and no gatekeepers, you can do the work you most believe in.
Genuinely nasty

I want politics to be about a better everyday life.
Here's what that can look like:
Heather writes today quite on-target as to many combined threats facing the republic.
First and most fulsome, of course, is the fat orange demagogue and his vulgarity, steadily spewing out of control. Courting violence. Courting more yet more hatreds.
Close behind is the Clarence court, with its contempt for America's large public opinion defending the rights of women and their families to make their own family and health decisions.
They're out of touch, the fat orange guy and the justices set bac…
"How did so many elites get so vulgar?
Get?
There is nothing more vulgar than William F. Buckley's attempted take down of James Baldwin in their Oxford debate.
Easy, lin -- with the "nothing more vulgar" tilt.
How about, instead, just "as vulgar"?
As in William F. Buckley's Ivy League predecessors so largely invested in Hitler's Waffen SS?
Leading U.S. banks, communications giants, and car, rubber, and petroleum companies hugely allied with Hitler through the 1930s -- almost all these elites legacies from the Ivy League.
And today -- in fact since the early 1990s, when Ivy Leaguers led the charge by U.S. finance to invest in the Soviet Union's former nome…
ThankYou. Yes. Point taken. Good points. Best and Brightest. Ha!
Yes. Trump did not create today's GOP. He just put his brand on it.
I used to watch William F. Buckley, Jr. on Firing Line, not because I agreed with any of what he said, but to see what those he was willing to bring on with very different views had to say. I much preferred Bill Moyers for those he could bring on his programs, carefully enough to maintain access to so many others in powerful positions by enabling extended conversations a bit differently than Tim Russert could do more aggressively (while still effectively making it difficult to avoid appearing o…
I forgot Phil Donahue, who's access seems an early example of more aggressive cancel culture than used on Bill Moyers. Matt Taibbi was another I watched before he was effectively cancelled on MSM.
P.S. I do like having gone back to Firing Line sporadically to see Margaret Hoover into a far more questioner of those "conservatives" many might assume she would be closer to.
