The New York Times is not the best source of news. A recent photo of the Pope with the President’s family showed a girls bare foot coming out of the lemo, and that the talks were very bad. This does not compare to other news services. The Times is not the truth going on, and not a reliable source, best listen to what is said by Politicians, and not read the Times.
Maybe the truth is best served.

Dear Martin: Could you please bring Ian Bremmer instead of Gideon Rose next time. I think Mr. Bremmer has a better undertsanding of the world and it politics.

Re Clinton: She suffered a fractured right elbow. Do you know what that means in terms of pain, medication, brain fog from meds? She seems to be recovering. Give her a little time to heal.
