Nostradamus

New York Times columnist, Ross Douthat, has been taking a psychedelic and staring into his pool of mercury like Nostradamus and has written a column projecting what American life will be like four years hence. With Donald Trump just having been re-elected to another four year term ... easily defeating the Elizabeth Warren, Corey Booker duo ... his first term was filled with some successes and a few flops ... see: NY Times Op-Ed. In this opinion piece Douthat admits that two out of his three previous week's predictions (domestic economic collapse and a run-up to the Third World War) did not occur in Trumps first term ... but civil unrest still persisted.   Bowing to his editorial superiors, Douthat throws them a few bones ... calling Kellyanne Conway "Svengali" and dissing Sean Hannity.

Nevertheless, an interesting read.

A Bear Hug

Megyn Kelly has leveled her public-relations bazooka at her boss, the head of the Fox News Network ... Roger Ailes, clearly in order to bring him down. What did Ailes do to deserve this fusillade? He gave her a peck on the cheek and a bear hug ten years ago ... and this, to Ms. Kelly, was sexual harassment. Of course Megyn Kelly has risen through the ranks at Fox News during the interim period ... praising Roger Ailes all the while for his mentoring ... to the point where she is now a multi-millionaire media star with a prime-time program on Fox.

I have written in the past about Megyn Kelly ... about how her severe mien and whiskey voice has struck me as a would-be dominatrix ... see: A Foxy Question. My instincts about this woman seem to match Donald Trump's who clearly didn't and doesn't like her ... although, in typical Trump fashion, he tripped clumsily over his tongue during the presidential debate that she co-hosted.

Now apparently as many as 50 of Fox's superstars, Bill O'Reilly, Greta Van Susteren, Sean Hannity, etc. have threatened to leave Fox if Ailes goes ... see: American News Story.

SCOOP: Today on the Boston talk radio show, The Kuhner Report, the rumor was revealed that the Trump family is ready to fund a new cable network ("balanced and fair" Wolf News?) and hire this whole group who are threatening to leave Fox. Wouldn't it be an interesting twist of fate tf Ms. Kelly's traitorous payback of Ailes spawned this competing network. She would then be maybe the last standing star at Fox ... a once proud cable network with no more viewers!

And then who might Cruella Kelly dominate?

Juxtaposition IV

Keep your chin up ...

Sean Hannity has a great line, "Next time Obama gives a speech I'm going to tug on his pant cuff and say, 'Mr. President, we're down here.'"
