Intellectual Giant Charles Krauthammer dies at the age of 68

Longtime Fox News commentator said in early June that he had "only a few weeks left to live" after a battle with cancer.

I am the co-founder of Moptu. Ultimately, this platform was a result of the co-founders love of politics. Not the divisive, loud, hyperbolic politics that we’re experiencing now, but a much more intellectual brand of politics. I have been reading Charles Krauthammer’s colimns for decades. I was amazed, literally, throughout by his insight, his mental acuity, his very real bravery, his sense of humanity and, most of all, his absolute dedication to intellectual honesty. This is a big loss for political discourse in our country at a time when reasonable voices are increasingly rare. He was a giant. I also found out today that he loved dogs; he was a great man. It’s a very sad day for our country.

CNN’s Jim Acosta: WH List on Underreported Terror Attacks Is a ‘Head-Scratcher’

CNN's Jim Acosta tonight said he had been given a list by the White House to back up President Trump's claims on underreported terrorist attacks.

Every new administration should be cut some slack at the beginning, but this is pure ineptitude. It's lazy, pathetic and a product of the bizarre hubris of the president and his staff. They are creating an alternate reality built on their narrative, designed to take advantage of a base that will believe anything they say. A free and independent press is the bedrock of this country and this president is doing everything he can to make people forget that fact. That makes him dangerous.
