Breitbart was drinking red wine at the "Brentwood" an hour before he died. Witnesses said he was not drunk, talked with people, etc. Informative article at the link.

There are 2003 comments pending at HuffPo re Britebart's death. The only

ones being published are the effusive feelings of love and loss. AOL, we've always known where they stood, HuffPo has become a joke.. Any negative comments most likely will not be published. Admission here: I only read the first page, perhaps the negatives are earlier, I'll look later on.

Nice article on Davy Jones in Palm Beach Post with Photos


http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/monkees-singer-davy-jones-complained-of-trouble-breathing-2207558.html

Davy Jones, lead singer of the Monkees, has died in Indiantown of an apparent heart attack, his publicist confirms. Martin County Sheriff's officials say someone called paramedics at 8 a.m. to an address in the 9900 block of Southwest Fox Brown Road after Jones complained that he was "not feeling well and having trouble breathing."

Those rescue crews took Jones to Martin Memorial South Hospital where he was pronounced dead, according to a statement released by sheriff's office this afternoon.

"At this time there do not appear to be any suspicious circumstances surrounding the death," the statement said. The district's medical examiner has confirmed the death.

"We are currently evaluating whether or not the Medical Examiner's Office will take jurisdiction," according to a statement read by spokeswoman Rebecca Shortridge. "It is quite a shock," said Helen Kensick, Jones' publicist of 50 years. Kensick said Jones keeps horses in Indiantown.

White House wants nothing to do with NYPD’s spying on American Muslims

The White House is distancing itself from a sweeping New York Police Department surveillance program of American Muslims that reportedly includes spying on entire neighborhoods and infiltrating Muslim student groups at area universities.

"This is not an administration program or a White House program; this is the New York Police Department," spokesman Jay Carney told reporters at his daily briefing.

The Associated Press reported Tuesday that the NYPD program relied in part on assets paid for by federal funds granted to the department through the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas program, known as HIDTA.

Carney told reporters that the White House does not have a position on how the money was spent, but he took pains to distance the administration from the NYPD program.

A question re "My Posts"

I like to delete the old ones and am not sure this is doable on DU3. Is there a way? Many thanks in advance

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Mitt dropped out of the race. Hear me out...

I truly doubt he will win South Carolina. He is really having problems coming to grips with showing his income tax returns, his numbers are dropping like rain and his demeanor is that of a tired and cranky middle-aged man. He is not used to being questioned about his money, his integrity or any of the other questions that pop up. How dare these people delve into my privacy. He is stiff/awkward and looks to be very uncomfortable the longer this parade goes on.

I know he's been readying for this for years, but now that he's in it I just don't think he's liking it very much. I truly doubt his numbers are going to improve. I do think the party will end up with Santorum or it will go to convention, and Romney will lose there also IMO. He's a guy who works with numbers and odds all of the time. This should be a no-brainer for him, get out at least with some shred of dignity. I could be wrong on this of course, but when he tires of something he gets rid of it. He should think in those terms about his campaign...

It was about watching the COVID registration thing at Publix never letting us in, but refreshing

every sixty seconds. I cracked up when I saw what I had done.
