Today I completed 30 sessions of radiation at Memorial Sloan-Kettering in NYC.
There is a happy tearful tradition that when each patient finishes, he or she rings a shipβs bell three times and reads verse on the plaque.
Everyone in the nearby waiting room applauds joyfully.
You are kind.
Yesterday my radiologist physician at Memorial Sloan Kettering declared, after my first check-up following radiation, that I am officially "in remission."
Hi
The good news is that after a 7 hour surgery and 7 days in the spectacular Sloan-Kettering Head and Neck Cancer Ward, I am declared free of cancer.
The better news is that I am approved to return to air on Monday 19 November.
answered prayers and cheers J

After spending 40 Million Dollars, reviewing 1.4 million pages of documents, & interviewing 500 people with the total support of the White House, the Mueller Report was a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT to the Democrats, so they want a DO OVER. It doesnβt work that way-so bad for our Country!

Agree. And

All is well. I am two weeks from surgery at Memorial Sloan-Kettering.
My surgeon gives me permission to go back on-air, though it will need another 2 to 4 weeks for complete recovery.
The way forward is to relearn how to enunciate correctly while I heal. Cheers J
There are several informed inquiries underway by the House and Senate as well as DOJ to discover the timeline and all discoverable details of the construction and presentation of the Steele Dossier in 2016.
This rises to the level of the legends of espionage and sabotage.

Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never--in nothing, great or small, large or petty--never give in, except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.

Day 151 of the Cuomo/DeBlasio shutdown. At an impromptu sidewalk cafe for cappuccino. Reading easily Pacific War Leyte Gulf gun battle October 1944. From Ian Toll. City very quiet. America awaiting the GOP rallying. Distant bugles? Strange days.
The Obama administration failed to protect thousands of Central American children who have flooded across the U.S. border since 2011, leaving them vulnerable to traffickers and to abuses at the hands of government-approved caretakers, a Senate investigation has found.
Democrats appear to have mustered only a slim majority in the House, while not even coming close to taking over the Senate. Their win in the House seems at best to have been in line with historical averages; they had expected more.

Memorial-Sloan-Kettering is a magnificent organization: the staff are uniformly deft, cheery, supportive, kind.
I am very lucky. Very very. And blessed by prayers.

In remembrance of and gratitude to my colleague, mentor and friend, Professor Stephen F. Cohen, 1938-2020.
The hundreds of hours of his thoughts on geopolitical mysteries are a towering tribute to his energy, genius, kindness and courage.
If he does nothing else, President Trump has an obligation to former aides like Michael Flynn and to the public to declassify and disclose the FBI documents related to the FBIβs Russia probe.
AG Lynch DOJ, with Deputy AGYates, could have staged the same presser that Rosenstein staged last Friday,.
exactly the same.
no Mueller needed.
Congress knew this then: it know it now.
the Obama admin knew of Fancy Bear and Cozy bear beginning April and June 2016.
knew of the spearphishing.
knew of the Wikileaks games wit Guccifer2.0.
knew that F Bear and C Bear were aiming to disrupt the election by feeding DNC emails into the game....
