I'd venture that she's been sidelined by Miller and wants out now, and she has launched her reputational rehab job.
In a series of interviews published in Vanity Fair, Susie Wiles, the White House chief of staff, said President Trump “has an alcoholic’s personality,” called JD Vance a “conspiracy theorist” and concluded that Pam Bondi “completely whiffed” the early handling of the Epstein files.

Our Christmas weather is not looking good, rain every day, not snow (with exception of Thurs the 18th for snow followed by a high of 54 and rain that will melt the snow in a flash). Look for flooding and mud slides in the mountains around Boise.

Fortunately for me, invasive urbanized wild turkeys prefer scratching around wide open grass lawns, not clumps of native perennials, so they pass by my yard without wrecking havoc. 36 just strolled by (not all pictured, as the flock was spread out half a block). There are some big toms in the mix.

My microwave gave its all on Thanksgiving, bidding adieu to the world. My mug of tepid coffee misses it dearly, but I was not about to venture to the store during the madness of post Thanksgiving shopping.

Back in Dec. 1975, I remember getting in this little car and loving it. A man walked up and asked me if he could take a picture of me for the paper. We were down at PayLess Drug Store in Lewiston. Alas, I never got that little car for Christmas.
