Why Millions Have Amnesia About Trump’s Presidency
David Corn: “To regain the White House, Trump needs to cover not just the pandemic but a lot else with the mists of time, including his attempt to overturn an election and his incitement of January 6’s insurrectionist attack, a trade war with China that cost the US hundreds of thousands of jobs and hundreds of billions of dollars in GDP, his love affairs with dictators like Kim Jong Un and Vladimir Putin, his broken vows to boost infrastructure and to replace the Affordable Care Act with a better and cheaper program, his two impeachments, and nine years of chaos, scandals, and mean-spirited, racist, and ignorant remarks.”
“That’s a lot of forgetting to rely upon, and the fact that Trump still has a good shot at victory is a sign that he can successfully stuff much of this history into the mental recesses of the electorate. Fortunately for him, the nature of human memory plays to Trump’s favor—even, perhaps especially, when it comes to a pandemic.”

More Wireless Devices Explode in Lebanon
“Hezbollah was hit Wednesday by another wave of exploding devices, as walkie-talkies used by the group blew up in homes, cars and in operatives’ hands across Lebanon,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“The militant group was scrambling to assess the extent and nature of the explosions, which hit just a day after an attack attributed to Israel caused thousands of pagers carried by Hezbollah members to explode at roughly the same time, injuring more than 2,800 people and killing 12.”
“Details emerging from investigations into Tuesday’s pager attack pointed to a highly complex plan carried out by Israel, in which explosives were planted in thousands of devices destined for members of militant group Hezbollah and then detonated by a remote signal.”
New York Times: “For a second day, there were reports of communication devices exploding across Lebanon and in the southern suburbs of the capital, Beirut.”

U.S. Faces Deficit of 6 Million Workers

Murdoch Family Battles Over Media Empire
Rupert Murdoch and his four oldest children were all seen entering probate court in Reno, Nevada on Tuesday for the second day of a pivotal trial over the family trust, the Daily Mail reports.
Eriq Gardner: “I keep getting asked about the likely outcome of this Murdoch trust trial, which is getting a lot more attention since I detailed the court location in Reno, the name of the judge, and the timeline.”
“Honestly, it’s tough to predict. Most of the substantive legal debate remains sealed, eluding even the most tenacious media efforts. That said, given the challenges of amending an irrevocable trust under Nevada law, and considering Rupert’s peculiar rationale—that he’s protecting James, Elisabeth, and Prudence from their own potential missteps by ensuring his politically aligned eldest son, Lachlan, stays in charge—I’d hardly bet on Rupert prevailing.”
