Fell at the top of the basement stairs early this afternoon. Tried to pull myself up that big last step by grabbing the door frame with my right hand instead of grabbing the edge of the open door with my left. Didn't work. Fell back against the wall and the shelf there, knocking down the shel and averything on it. I think Marcus must have straightened it, which is great. I couldn't have contemplated the chore.
I hurt my back more than I like. Pretty painful when I try to stand up and walk. Not so much sitting down with ibuprofen treatment, and essentially not at all when I lie down on my back.
Emboldened by ABC settlement, Trump seeks more lawsuits against the press. CNN: President-elect Donald Trump had not been terribly successful in suing media organizations until this weekend when ABC News agreed to settle a closely-watched defamation case he brought against the network to the tune of $16 million.
Now, Trump is expanding his threats of legal action against the news media as he prepares to move back into the White House, stating he wants to “straighten out the press.”
On Monday, Trump said he has a new target: The Des-Moines Register newspaper, which he said he plans to sue “today or tomorrow” over its final poll of Iowa voters that showed him losing the November election to Vice President Kamala Harris. -- nordy

Oh, wow. But it could have been much worse. We don't bounce very well any more. Heal soon, WA.

Unless something very unusual is going on, he has no chance agaist the Register. If a legitimate poll showed him losing, facts are facts.
ReplyDeleteI figure that the ABC settlement will just provide more income for the people and agencies that get big awards against Trump.

The settlement goes specifically to the Trump presidential library. Trump personally will never see it.
