Trump Innocent?

 AFTER NEARLY two years of waiting, Americans have some preliminary answers about Russia’s interference in the 2016 election. Attorney General William P. Barr on Sunday revealed that special counsel Robert S. Mueller III found no collusion between Donald Trump or his 2016 campaign with the Russian effort. But Mr. Mueller did not answer with the same clarity whether President Trump unduly interfered with law enforcement. That will be a matter for Congress and the public to consider as Mr. Barr releases more information — as he must. 

Say no to drugs!

The anticipated recreational-marijuana boom of 2019 has stalled in the U.S. Northeast, where New Jersey lawmakers scratched a planned legalization vote and New York’s governor cast doubt on the ability to strike an agreement in his state before a budget deadline.


Back to 2016

 Having missed the press screening last week for WarcraftI am a little late to the party on this one. But even though it grossed only $24 million in the U.S. since opening on Friday, I was enormously curious about this movie since in its first five days in China alone it grossed $156 million. Say what? And a total of $260 million-plus overseas. So I decided to check this one out over the weekend in a real theater with real people (who mostly just stared at the screen with little reaction), despite a marketing campaign that made it seem about as enticing as a dip in a cesspool
