Shepard Smith, once a star anchor at Fox News, made headlines last year when he abruptly left the network. Now, his highly anticipated — and heavily promoted — new show at CNBC is falling behind repeats of Fox Business show Lou Dobbs Tonight.
Since its launch on September 30, CNBC’s The News with Shepard Smith has presented a sleek hard news program with big name guests like Dr. Anthony Fauci — all while facing a continued decline in viewership.
The night before the expected arrival of some great news is often filled with tension. Word from the Marathon, Waterloo, and Apollo 13 after reentry were times like those. Men prepare mentally for the worst while secretly hoping for the best, in Benson’s words, “like men on the eve of a great voyage, [who] know not what may be in store, what shifting of scene, what loss, what grief, what shadow of death.” There is a sense of being trapped in a chain of events from which there is no escape, no way to start time again except by going forward and discovering what tomorrow brings.

The Post’s exposés on Hunter Biden appear to have helped spark a rush of early voters seeing if they can change their minds — with New York one of a handful of states giving some that unexpected right.More than 58.5 million have already cast their ballots, and searches for “Can I change my vote” started trending over the last few days — linked to searches for “Hunter Biden,” according to Google Trends data.The biggest interest has come from Arizona, Tennessee and Virginia, all states that — like most of the US — only give residents one shot at the polls.But “in some states, you can submit your ballot,
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) said on Monday that Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation to the Supreme Court will "go down as one of the darkest days" in the Senate's history.At the close of his speech ahead of the Senate's confirmation vote, Schumer lamented that "generations yet unborn will suffer the consequences" of Barrett's nomination and characterized Monday as "one of the darkest days in the 231-year history of the United States Senate."While notably more civil than the last confirmation battle to confirm Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Democrats have sought to cast Barrett as a retrograde jurist and a political pawn of the GOP.
Amy Coney Barrett officially joined the Supreme Court on Monday, one year to the day after President Donald J. Trump successfully assassinated ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and 38 days since the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Barrett was sworn in at the White House after the Senate voted 52-48 to confirm her nomination, an outcome favored by a majority of Americans. Barrett's "her-storic" ascension to the High Court is a victory for Trump, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, the Republican Party, and all Americans who support greater female representation
The US Supreme Court on Monday in a 5-3 vote rejected Democrat calls to reinstate the six-day extension for the receipt of mail ballots in Wisconsin.This is a huge win for President Trump, the GOP and the American people. President Trump won the historically blue state of Wisconsin in 2016 against Hillary Clinton by a razor thin margin. The Democrats fought to reinstate the six-day extension for absentee ballots and lost big time on Monday. (Tweet) Below is a key passage from Chief Justice Roberts, who voted to block the Wisconsin extension but allowed a three-day extension in Pennsylvania.
Moments after Amy Coney Barrett was officially confirmed to the Supreme Court, AOC had a meltdown on twitter demanding that Democrats expand the Supreme Court.
Her first tweet simply read 'Expand the court': (Tweet) At the time of this article being published, the tweet has already received over 100k likes in less than 20 minutes. She then followed up with a more thorough meltdown saying that they're going to play "Hardball": (Tweet) Get ready folks. If Joe Biden wins, they will absolutely PACK THE COURT.
Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court by the Senate Monday evening, filling the vacancy left by liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.(Photo) The vote was nearly entirely along party lines: Senator Susan Collins of Maine was the only Republican to dissent, voting with all 47 members of the Democratic Caucus against the conservative Trump nominee over concerns of the proximity to the election.The final vote was 52-48."Because this vote is occurring prior to the election, I will vote against the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett," Collins said in a statement over the weekend.

An LSU fan says he was brutally beaten and robbed inside a bathroom after a game at Tiger Stadium over the weekend. Daniel Dwyer, a longtime LSU fan, told The Advocate he lingered inside the stadium Saturday after LSU’s 52-24 rout over South Carolina to hear the university’s marching band play, as he typically does. “Normally, there’s 80,000 to 100,000 people at an LSU game,” Dwyer told the newspaper.(Snip) But Dwyer’s typical postgame routine took a turn when he stopped inside a stadium bathroom while headed to his car, he recalled. “There were three or four men and a young man
After weeks of partisan back-and-forth over whether a justice should be appointed so close to the presidential election, Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed to the Supreme Court on Monday, eight days before Election Day—making her the third successful nomination during President Trump’s tenure and the sixth conservative justice on the nine-person court.
Barrett was approved to be an associate justice on the Supreme Court in a 52-48 vote that ended Monday evening, with all but one the Republican senators, who have a majority, voting in her favor.
Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court by the Senate Monday evening, filling the vacancy left by liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

President Donald Trump rallied with members of the Pennsylvania Dutch community in Lititz, Pennsylvania, thanking them for their support.
“You know, we have Pennsylvania Dutch,” Trump said as the crowd cheered. The Pennsylvania Dutch communities are typically made up of Amish, Mennonite, Lutheran, German Reformed, Moravian, and other groups.
“I heard that the other day,” Trump said. “They said, ‘We can’t have a man who sleeps,’ They work hard. ‘We can’t have a guy that sleeps all day in the basement. We can’t. We like Trump.'”
The Republican-held Senate on Monday evening voted to confirm Amy Coney Barrett as the newest justice to the Supreme Court, giving President Trump his third appointment to the high court just a week before the Nov. 3 election. Barrett, 48, will be sworn in by Justice Clarence Thomas at the White House. She will be the fifth female justice in the court’s history. Barrett replaces liberal icon Ruth Bader Ginsburg and conservatives believe she will tilt the ideological balance of the bench for decades — infuriating Democrats.Trump trumpeted the victory hours earlier during a rally in Martinsburg, Penn., calling Barrett “one of our nation’s most brilliant legal minds.”

Few actors in Hollywood are actually brave enough to stand in front of their celebrity peers and profess their love of God and Christ. Matthew McConaughey is one of those, and he wants you to know that the culture in Hollywood is so hostile that his fellow Christian celebrities actually feel afraid to speak out and actually hide their faith for fear of being blacklisted.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday he saw nothing wrong with the business dealings of presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son Hunter in Ukraine and Russia.
The American mainstream media passed along Putin’s comments without any warning messages about “disinformation” or “election meddling,” even though they have breathlessly reported claims that Russia influenced the 2016 election and is attempting to influence the 2020 race.
Reuters suggested Putin’s remarks might have been “an attempt to try to curry favor with the Biden camp,” leavening that observation by noting Putin also objected to Biden’s “sharp anti-Russian rhetoric” during his remarks on Russian state television:
The president of Fox News and four of the network's top anchors have been told to quarantine after coming into contact with someone on a private flight who later tested positive for coronavirus. President Jay Wallace, The Five hosts Dana Perino and Juan Williams, chief political anchor Bret Baier and The Story anchor Martha MacCallum were on a charter flight from Nashville to New York with the infected person on Thursday.The flight was taking the network executives, personalities and other staff members who attended the presidential debate back to New York.

The triumph and tragedy of Trump
replies
First, the triumph. Against all odds, he won the presidency with promises to shake up a sclerotic Washington establishment. He did that and more.
He moved the U.S. embassy to the ancient capital of Israel over objections from the establishment who predicted a violent reaction from the culture of complainers that passes for Palestinian people. That move proved the first step toward an outbreak of Mideast peace.
With reports of Joe Biden cancelling all in-person campaign events, the Club members are trying to carry their Potemkin candidate across the finish line.
Everyone is now aware Joe Biden is a cover for the real person the puppeteers want in the oval office, Kamala Harris.
That said, the DNC needs to weaponize the COVID-19 threat as a cover story to explain the lack of campaigning by the Democrat candidates; hence, the media hype of the coronavirus is back this week in full swing.(Snip) cover-story is needed because the MAGA community was showing up in overwhelming numbers at Biden-Harris events, and the false illusion of support(Snip) was being exposed.
In early October a large number of Latino supporters for Trump in Miami-Dade county Florida surprised the Biden-Harris campaign by swarming a local Kamala Harris event.
It happened again… and then again… And then by mid October the organically occurring approach started to catch fire.
The Deplorables are on the march, and their assembled visibility, the political optics, have destroyed the media narrative.
The downstream impact on the messaging of the Biden-Harris campaign, their surrogates and the DNC club writ large, is devastating. That’s almost certainly the real reason Joe Biden has abandoned his in-person campaigning.
Vice President Mike Pence will not preside over Monday’s Senate vote to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.
Pence is currently on the campaign trail and is scheduled to make a stop in Minnesota on Monday despite an outbreak of coronavirus cases among people in the the vice president‘s inner circle over the weekend.
Five cases of the coronavirus were reported among the vice president’s close associates on Saturday, including Pence’s chief of staff, Marc Short. Pence and his wife Karen both tested negative
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas will administer the official constitutional oath to Judge Amy Coney Barrett on Monday night if she is confirmed by the Senate, a senior White House official told Fox News. Thomas has long been considered one of the more conservative justices on the Court, along with Barrett's mentor, the late Justice Antonin Scalia. The would-be celebration of her confirmation won't be a large affair, President Trump said, noting that it will be "just a very nice event."

The oil and gas industry is doubling down on countering Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden's promise to neuter fracking, which could upend America as an energy leader and eliminate thousands of jobs.
Biden said on Saturday that he supports a fracking ban on federal lands and waters, which account for 13% of the nation’s natural gas production. The comments came as he attempted to clarify remarks made at last week’s debate that supported transitioning the U.S. away from oil.
On Monday, President Trump in a tweet, reminded voters that his plans would hurt jobs.
For someone whose previous career was in San Francisco's trendy restaurant industry, California's Gov. Gavin Newsom has some bizarre ideas about why people gather; what a comfortable dining experience is; and how people, as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says, will do what they do.
Nope, he's got some weird stuff up, motivated, he says, by a supposed new wave of COVID: (Snip for tweet) Kelly ran out of space before she could mention another onerous restriction, which is that only three households may gather.

President Trump on Monday said Sen. Kamala Harris’ frequent bursts of laughter at serious questions suggests “there’s something wrong” with the Democratic vice presidential candidate. Trump mocked Harris’ “60 Minutes” interview, broadcast Sunday, during a campaign rally in Allentown, Pa.
“Did you see [Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s] performance on that show? The only thing almost as bad was Kamala, with the laugh. ‘Haha, that’s so funny. Hahaha.’ She kept laughing. I said, ‘Is there something wrong with her, too?'” Trump quipped.(Snip) She kept laughing at very, you know, serious questions.” Harris (D-Calif.) laughed off journalist Norah O’Donnell’s question during

That's why, as US elected representatives, we have a very clear message for our Colombian counterparts: Show us the respect of staying out of our elections.In recent weeks, we have noticed a deeply troubling trend: Several Colombian politicians are publicly choosing sides in the US election.

Thanks to a statement from a former Hunter Biden associate and leaked emails that were never supposed to see the light of day, we now know that former Vice President Joe Biden may have been involved in his son’s business dealings with China. This is concerning, since one of his affiliated investment firms directly supported a Chinese company accused of the espionage of nuclear technology in the United States.
This episode demonstrates the great lengths to which China seems willing to go to influence U.S. public policy and get ahead of its military. But this example is far from an anomaly. It only scratches the surface
Monday, MSNBC “Morning Joe” co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski slammed President Donald Trump for continuing to hold “superspreader events” as he campaigns for reelection.Brzezinski claimed the virus is “spreading more rapidly” because of Trump.

The New York Post and the Washington Examiner endorsed President Donald Trump for reelection in separate Monday op-eds.The Post praised Trump’s purported economic success before the coronavirus reached U.S. shores in late January and advocated against “cancel culture and censorship” in a front-page cover story.“We can return to the explosive job creation, rising wages and general prosperity we had before the pandemic,” the Post piece said. “We can have economic freedom and opportunity, and resist cancel culture and censorship.

QUINCY, FL – From rural churches to downtown streets, Democrat Joe Biden’s campaign is pushing hard to turn out one of his strongest but most uncertain bases of support - Black Floridians.

Former President Obama’s visit Saturday to Miami is among the most eye-catching events designed to rally black voters to Biden, who needs to regain

Joe Biden upended the historic formula of a Democratic presidential nominee. Usually, the hopeful plays his liberal greatest hits to the primary crowd, before tacking to the center as the election dawns and ordinary Americans start listening.
Since his assisted capture of the nomination, Biden has veered leftward, crafting, with the help of the party’s progressive wing, the most progressive platform since the ill-fated George McGovern in 1972.
This is not, as some attest, a political rebirth, but the reparations Biden and the party must pay to those the establishment bilked of the big prize.(Snip)At the final presidential debate, these cracks finally burst open. Biden first committed to collapsing the oil industry,

In foreign affairs, the United States would no longer adhere to every aspect of the 75-year-old postwar order it created—given the world now bore little resemblance to the world of 1945.
Prior bipartisan foreign policy had often ossified to the point of enhancing the power of our enemies, weakening our complacent friends, and terribly damaging our own power. When Trump entered office, ISIS was proving that it was hardly a “JV” organization. North Korea was recklessly testing missiles

As documented by my colleague Bonchie here, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has announced the formation of what he calls “the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.” Making allowances for a certain degree of, erm, geezerhood on the part of Joe Biden, I will assume here that Mr. Biden did not intend to reveal that he plans to perpetrate massive voter fraud. Instead, he meant that he will be fighting voter fraud, presumably defined as votes for someone other than Joe Biden, wherever he sees it. Please. No. A thousand times no. Our country cannot survive another Election By Lawsuit.

It is a Tudor warrant book, one of many in the National Archives, filled with bureaucratic minutiae relating to 16th-century crimes.

In this document, the king stipulated that, although his queen had been “adjudged to death… by burning of fire… or decapitation”, he had been “moved by pity” to spare her the more painful death of being “burned by fire”.

Joe Biden sat down for an interview with 60 Minutes host Norah O’Donnell and it didn’t go well.Biden ‘confused’ his agenda during the 60 Minutes interview so his staff had to step in and correct the record.“I can send every qualified person to a 4 year college in their state for $150 billion,” Biden said. “I can make sure every single person who qualifies for community college can go and we’d still have a lot of money left over.”Pizza for everybody! It turns out Joe Biden was lying about his tax plan. Shocker.“After our interview, Mr. Biden’s staff told us he misspoke and that the cost
A Lid Too Far
replies
Joe Biden didn’t conduct any in-person campaigning yesterday, nine days out from the election. The Biden campaign called a so-called lid on his activities yesterday at 11:30 a.m. He’s resting up. He’s sitting on a lead. He’s giving President Trump a chance to overtake him. I should like to think it’s a lid too far, but that’s clearly not the way his campaign team sees it.
By contrast with Trump’s rallies, Biden’s events are not exactly high energy affairs. Okay, it’s not just by contrast with Trump’s rallies. Biden’s in-person campaign events are embarrassing judged solely on their own terms.
With his daily lids Biden is also minimizing
An international team of scientists has reconstructed the hydraulic operations of the 1,900-year-old Barbegal industrial watermill complex in southern France, revealing the subtle brilliance of antiquity's engineers.
The Barbegal watermill complex was a set of sixteen water wheels arranged in two parallel columns of eight along a thirty-meter slope near the French town of Arles. It's been hailed as having the "greatest known concentration of mechanical power in the ancient world." Each wheel was connected to a grinding mechanism, which milled grain into flour, perhaps as much as 25 tonnes per day from the entire complex. When the complex was constructed at the end of the 1st century,
Six people were killed and 18 others injured in shootings across Chicago over the weekend.In the weekend’s last fatal shooting Sunday evening, a man was found with a gunshot wound to the head on the West Side.The 25-year-old was found under train tracks about 7:30 p.m. in the 1900 block of South St. Louis Avenue, Chicago police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Earlier, a suspected burglar was killed by a homeowner in Marquette Park on the Southwest Side. About 11:15 a.m., the man, believed to be in his 40s, was shot dead by the homeowner during a burglary in the 7100 block of South Mozart Street, police said.
Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) struggled to respond during a “60 Minutes” interview that aired on Sunday when she was confronted over the fact that she has been rated as the most far-left member of the U.S. Senate.“You’re very different in the policies that you’ve supported in the past,” CBS News host Norah O’Donnell said. “You’re considered the most liberal United States senator.”“I—somebody said that and it actually was Mike Pence on the debate stage,” Harris said as she laughed.
If you had told parents living in Los Angeles back in March, that we would still be under lockdown seven months later and that our children would not be permitted to freely trick-or-treat on Halloween we would have started our own peaceful playground protests.
As a mother of two small children, I have seen firsthand how my kids have been uniquely impacted by the extended confinement. Their routines were disrupted without warning and they've experienced broken promises of when life as they knew it would resume based on moving targets set by local officials.
Anyone who is still clinging to the notion that the mainstream press isn’t a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democratic Party needs to watch the exchange between premier journalist Christiane Amanpour and Republican National Committee spokeswoman Liz Harrington.
As the troubling Hunter Biden story has developed, the press’ reasons for not covering it shifted. At first, the media said they wouldn’t cover it because the veracity of the laptop and the smoking gun emails hadn’t been “verified” and speculated that it was all part of another Russian effort to get Trump elected.

When I was growing up, everyone in America watched the same handful of channels. This meant that they all saw the same campaign commercials (usually over and over). However, in our fragmented media error, campaigns have to hunt down voters to get campaign ads in front of them. That’s why, I thought I’d perform a public service and let you see some of the best, most creative, ads from the Trump campaign.
When Dr. Julian Bailes was the physician for the Pittsburgh Steelers, he said they were doing their best to manage concussions at that time.
“It was the standard back then if a concussion in a football player cleared and we watched them closely on the sideline, they could go back into the same game that same day. I don't think we were bad doctors. At the time, that was the state of the art,” said Bailes, who was famously portrayed by actor Alec Baldwin in the movie Concussion.
“That's the way it evolved,” he told the Washington Examiner.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that most Republicans want to see President Trump voted out of office but can’t say it publicly, Axios reported on Sunday.
Clinton told the New York Times Opinion podcast “Sway” that most Republicans “have been cowards, spineless enablers” of the president throughout his administration.
"Most Republicans are going to want to close the page," Clinton said on an episode of the podcast set to be released Monday. "They want to see him gone as much as we do, but they can't say it publicly."
President Trump’s Promise
replies
When Americans go to the polls November 3, The New York Sun urges a vote to re-elect President Trump and Vice President Pence. We do so in the belief that the principles for which the President, the Vice President, and the Republican Party stand offer far more promising prospects for the kind of economic growth — and full employment — that can best return our politics to a state of amity.
We have no illusions about how bitter — and personal — things have become. To those who say that Mr. Trump is unfit, we say, compared to whom? Not, in our view, Mr. Biden and his camarilla.
Confronting political censorship
replies
Some disasters arrive with the suddenness of an avalanche with no time to react, while others are preceded by a flashing early-warning sign. Americans are shocked by blatant censorship of news relevant to the impending 2020 presidential election, but they shouldn’t be. Unsavory political bias has been a growing phenomenon in the electronic public square. With millions of votes already cast, efforts to release the subversive grip on free speech are too little, too late.
The bombshell discovered on a laptop purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden, son of Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden, were quickly contained last week when dominant social media platforms chose to shield them from public view.

Universities in the United States reported $6.5 billion in previously undisclosed gifts and contracts from foreign sources as a result of an investigation by the Department of Education.
Federal law requires universities to disclose substantial foreign gifts and contracts to the Department of Education (DOE) twice a year. Many have for years failed to do so, while others have underreported. After the department opened an investigation into the matter in 2019, 60 schools that had never complied with the law
Back in March, the COVID mantra was, “15 days to slow the spread”, meaning flattening the curve. (snip) What if the latest surge is just another political move, an attempt to influence election, now a week away? What exactly is this current surge? Is it a surge in positive tests, cases, hospitalizations, or deaths? A positive test alone is not a case, according to the CDC. The “case definition” of COVID is a positive test and symptoms. People who might have had a mild case a month ago may still have dead viral particles in their noses, triggering positive tests.
These last 10 days before the election will be a blur of frantic activity by candidates. Donald Trump and Joe Biden will race around the country and — if one of them doesn’t call a “lid” on campaigning for the day — they are likely to hit 3 or 4 states in a single day.
The dozen or so still competitive House races are being fought in the trenches and on the airwaves as candidates spend the last of their millions on ads. Republicans almost certainly have no chance to win back the lower chamber and it will become even harder after Democratic Party activists
Governor Gavin Newsom’s Department of Health has issued an updated “Guidance for Private Gatherings” in time for Thanksgiving. Basically, fun is illegal in California:
Gatherings that include more than 3 households are prohibited. This includes everyone present, including hosts and guests.
So if you have three kids, you can invite two of them.
All gatherings must be held outside. Attendees may go inside to use restrooms as long as the restrooms are frequently sanitized.
This would not work well in Minnesota. We haven’t even gotten to Halloween yet, and where I live there are 8 inches of snow on the ground.
Brilliant yellow maple trees surround my mother-in-law’s home in rural Ohio and the roads in her part of the state are lined not only with the colorful foliage of late October but also with signs expressing support for President Trump’s election. Anyone can look at the results from 2016 and see that Trump racked up majorities of 2-to-1 or more in this part of Ohio — 72 percent in Morrow County, 71 percent in Crawford County, 67 percent in Knox County, 66 percent in Richland County, 64 percent in Marion County. In fact, Trump won 80 of Ohio’s 88 counties four years ago, defeating Hillary Clinton

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, took a veiled shot at her party’s leadership in the Senate on Sunday when she announced that she would be voting against the confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.
“Prior to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death, I stated that, should a vacancy on the Supreme Court arise, the Senate should follow the precedent set four years ago and not vote on a nominee prior to the presidential election.,” Collins said in a statement.
She added: “Because this vote is occurring prior to the election, I will vote against the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett.” Collins noted in her statement
With nine days before Election Day, more people already have cast ballots in this year's presidential election than voted early or absentee in the 2016 race as the start of in-person early voting in big states led to a surge in turnout in recent days.
The opening of early voting locations in Florida, Texas and elsewhere has piled millions of new votes on top of the mail ballots arriving at election offices as voters try to avoid crowded places on Nov. 3 during the coronavirus pandemic.
Joe Biden will not be doing any more in person campaigning through the election, according to a member of Trump’s campaign staff.
The news comes one day after emails, pornographic and drug-filled photos and videos of his son Hunter Biden were published online. JT Lewis of Team Trump tweeted on Sunday that “Joe Biden says he won’t do any more in person campaigning for the remaining 9 days.” [snip for tweet] Biden’s campaign called a lid early on Sunday, before news broke that he would not be making any more appearances at all. There are no public appearances listed on his schedule.

An army of enthusiastic Trump supporters crashed a tiny Biden rally in battleground state Pennsylvania yesterday, as Joe disingenuously suggested he likes the minuscule crowds he draws because they limit Covid spread. That did not stop two Kamala Harris aides from getting infected last week. After MAGA Nation started honking their horns during Biden’s anemic-sized drive-in rally, Joe got so triggered that he angrily insulted Trump supporters. Biden snarked: “We don’t do things like those chumps out there with the microphones, those Trump guys.”
American viewers on Sunday night saw for themselves the moment Donald Trump walked out of a 60 Minutes interview, ending the interview early irritated by the questions.Trump's refusal to sit through Lesley Stahl's questioning on Tuesday sparked uproar on social media, and the president, furious at being called weak, released the entire clip on his Facebook page on Thursday.'Look at the bias, hatred and rudeness on behalf of 60 Minutes and CBS,' he said, with a link to the 38 minute segment.Stahl, in her introduction to Sunday's show, explained: 'We had prepared to talk about the many issues and questions facing the president, but in what has become an all-too-public
