Linda Tripp: ‘It’s a Day Late, and It’s a Dollar Short’
She’s unconvinced by recent calls in the press for Clinton’s deeds to be reconsidered in a more critical light. “They have nothing to lose, and this is now permissible,” she says. “The fact that the Clintons are dead in the water gives [the media] tacit approval to act like human beings. . . . It’s disingenuous.” She finds it particularly galling to hear former Clinton defenders attributing their latter-day awakening to evolving social mores.

NASA’s ‘fake news’ about water on Mars
It was big news in 2015 when NASA declared “liquid water found in Mars.” Now, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, the announcement that Mars contains large amounts of water was premature. The researchers — working in cooperation with the NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Project — found that the RSL were instead “identical to the slopes of sand dunes where movement is caused by dry granular flows.”

…that while ObamaCare did create an actual death panel of sorts, the larger death promoter inherent within ObamaCare is the manipulation of dollars to incentivize lower-quality, and thus less expensive, care…When Democrats drafted the law, they had the clever idea that they could save money if hospitals were discouraged from re-admitting patients after they’d already been released, and they built in financial incentives for hospitals not to re-admit patients within 30 days of release.
