Let me begin by stipulating, this will be as short as it is unpopular among persons who generally oppose Donald Trump. As I’ve noted previously, many of my close friends and family members are underwhelmed when I write about politics, and not surprisingly, they are maximally underwhelmed when I write about Donald Trump. For those folks, consider this. In 2024, the following have passed:
1. New Year’s Day
2. Imani (the last day of Kwanzaa
3. Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday
4. Black History Month
5. Groundhog Day
6. Super Bowl
7. Lincoln’s Birthday
8. Ash Wednesday
9. Valentine’s Day
10. Washington’s Birthday
11. Presidents Day
12. Women’s History Month
13. Daylight Saving Time
14. NCAA Basketball Tournament(s)
15. Ramadan
16. St. Patrick’s Day
17. Spring
18. Palm Sunday
19. Good Friday
20. Easter
21. Tax Freedom Day (North Carolina)
22. Tax Day
23. Boston Marathon
24. First Day of Passover
25. Earth Day
In other words, here we are at the 115th day of the year, more that two dozen notable yearly events have occurred, and I have not written a single story singularly focused on Donald Trump. Well, I’m here to tell you, that changes today.
The first of four Trump trials, “Falsifying Records, aka Hush Money, commenced with jury selection last week. It resumed Monday, kicking off with testimony from David Pecker, CEO of American Publishing until August 2020. He was the publisher of several magazines, most notably, for the purposes of this post, National Enquirer, where he was alleged to have executed a strategy known as Catch and Kill, to prevent negative stories from being published about Trump. The basic concept entailed buying exclusive rights to stories (negative to Trump) and not publishing them; simultaneously ensuring no other outlet could publish the stories. There are plenty of sordid details…and you can read about them elsewhere. I do not have a lot to say. In fact, the Title says it all. “Spoiler Alert: He Ain’t Goin’ to Jail!”
I’m done; holla back!
