WELL:

Whether it was intentional or fortuitous, the media press in haring after the Signal leaks, had very little reportage about the Houthi campaign, treating it as the mindless spasm of an idiot administration. The Iranians of course knew something was afoot.

WHY FIXING EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT:

The left doesn’t have enough kids to win.

That’s why they’re so insistent on controlling your kid’s education.

So maybe…just don’t voluntarily hand over your kids, and we win this whole thing in a generation.

And at this point, “fixing” will require a lot of demolition work.

WHY, INDEED? Why Does The IRS Need Guns Act. “Disarming Americans is a sore subject around these parts, as it should be, considering the natural right to self-preservation recognized by our Constitution. But, something tells me today’s disarmament discussion may be better received, as this time it is focused on the federal government, specifically the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Republican Representative Barry Moore from Alabama has introduced a bill that seeks to disarm the agency aptly named the Why Does The IRS Need Guns Act.”

Also disarm the EPA and a host of other agencies.

THAT’S SOMETHING: Gilead says its therapy delayed growth of tumors in aggressive form of breast cancer. “The results from a randomized Phase 3 study called ASCENT-04 could lead to a new treatment option for patients with newly diagnosed, metastatic, triple-negative breast cancer.”

BOTTOM STORY OF THE DAY: Top Producer of 60 Minutes Quits, Saying He Lost Independence.

CBS News entered a new period of turmoil on Tuesday after the executive producer of “60 Minutes,” Bill Owens, said that he would resign from the long-running Sunday news program because he had lost his journalistic independence.

In an extraordinary declaration, Mr. Owens — only the third person to run the program in its 57-year history — told his staff in a memo that “over the past months, it has become clear that I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it, to make independent decisions based on what was right for ‘60 Minutes,’ right for the audience.”

“So, having defended this show — and what we stand for — from every angle, over time with everything I could, I am stepping aside so the show can move forward,” he wrote in the memo, which was obtained by The New York Times.

“60 Minutes” has faced mounting pressure in recent months from both President Trump, who sued CBS for $10 billion and has accused the program of “unlawful and illegal behavior,” and its own corporate ownership at Paramount, the parent company of CBS News.

Don Hewitt, Dan Rather, Walter Cronkite, John Dickerson, Katie Couric and Scott Pelley ponder Owens’ reasons for leaving and smile: CBS’s Scott Pelley Loses A Fight Rigged In His Favor.
