NOT ST. RONAN! Ronan Farrow tried to kill New York magazine story on Woody Allen’s wife, Daphne Merkin claims. “Every Ronan Farrow story features a predictable villain, who unleashes lawyers to harass and heckle reporters off a story. But in 2018 that villain was Farrow himself, according to journalist Daphne Merkin. Farrow and his family directed a pressure campaign toward top brass at New York magazine in the days before they published Merkin’s lengthy profile of Soon-Yi Previn, the wife of Woody Allen and adoptive daughter of Allen’s ex Mia Farrow, Merkin — who has never spoken publicly about the conflict — told The Post. . . . Merkin’s story included Previn’s brutal assessment of Mia Farrow’s parenting and her dismissal of decades-long Farrow family allegations that Allen sexually assaulted his 7-year-old adoptive daughter Dylan Farrow in 1992.”

TRUMP, SCARBOROUGH, LORI KLAUSUTIS, JACKSONIAN JUJUTSU:

POTUS can’t lose here that’s why he picked this fight. He is a Jacksonian whose entire philosophy can be summed up by this sentence written nearly twenty years ago by the late great Steven Den Beste one of the greatest bloggers who ever lived

The whole point of Jacksonianism is “You leave me alone and I’ll leave you alone. You play fair with me and I’ll play fair with you. But if you f*** with me, I’ll kill you.”

That’s Trump all over.

WHEN YOU’RE A DEMOCRAT WHO’S LOST THE POLITICO: When powerful people think the rules aren’t for them. “Here’s something that may be of interest to the Joe Biden vetting squad: News reports have Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s husband pulling the ‘don’t-you-know-who-I-am’ card with a vacation boat dock worker in the middle of a pandemic that has killed thousands of people in his state.”

More at the Detroit News: “The owner of a Northern Michigan dock company says Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s husband wanted his boat placed in the water before the Memorial Day weekend as Whitmer urged residents not to rush to the region.”

FROM FRANK J. FLEMING, THE GENIUS WHO HELPS MAKE THE BABYLON BEE AMERICA’S NEW PAPER OF RECORD:  Superego.

Rico is a psychopath.

That’s why his job as an intergalactic hitman for a massive criminal syndicate suits him so well. He gets to do what he does best: go planet to planet and wreak destruction. He enjoys his work.

But Rico’s latest assignment isn’t what it seems, and after inadvertently thwarting a terror attack, he finds himself playing the good guy. Stuck pretending he’s a cop, he gets paired with some lady detective who is more than a little suspicious of him. To make matters worse, he starts to have new feelings toward her, feelings he’s never felt before. Love, maybe? That’s stupid. What is he supposed to do with that?

And this job isn’t fun, as it soon spirals into secrets, betrayal, and a whole planet out to kill him. Well, it’s a little fun. Still, Rico may have finally found himself in a situation he can’t shoot his way out of.

But that doesn’t mean he won’t try.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Screw the Distancing—NFL Plans On Filling Stadiums This Fall. “The National Football League is either filled with optimists, really drunk people, or a functional combination of the two. An NFL spokesman indicated yesterday that the league is going with a glass-half-full approach and planning on business as usual when regular season play begins in the beginning of September.”
