I knew I wasn't going to be reading much of it when I saw the front page.
Hernandez’s fiancee may sue prison for failing to prevent suicide
That was the lead again, and what I'm noticing more and more is what is not in my Globe on a daily basis rather than the swill that is.
Trump assails 100-day mark as 'ridiculous standard'
I did scan the article although I'm no longer interested in what fallacy comes out of his mouth these days. I'm sick of $howman presidents. Apparently, he foisted this tax bill on Congre$$ with no warning (never a good idea; they like to be included or else their egos are bruised) and towards the end we find that "Trump also signed directives Friday to review financial measures put in place by the Obama administration. The presidential order asks Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to review the tax regulations imposed by Obama in 2016. Those include efforts to clamp down on “corporate inversions” — in which US companies merge with foreign companies to take advantage of lower tax rates abroad. Meanwhile, Trump is seeking to use negotiations on a deal to continue operations of the government to leverage several of his priorities. ‘‘I think we’ve made it very clear that we want border wall funding, we want greater latitude to deny federal grants to sanctuary cities,’’ White House press secretary Sean Spicer said."
That explains the National focus on page A6 of the print, but rest easy -- this guy talks out of both sides of his mouth worse than Nixon (with all due respect).

Attack on Champs-Élysées injects more uncertainty into French vote
It has almost become routine in France: A terror attack shatters the rhythms of daily life, bringing bloodshed and anguish. The assailant turns out to be someone known to authorities.
Yeah, like a movie we have seen one to many times. It's the same script, and the Globe even had an invisible eyewitness to the scene(?).
I'm told the incident, whatever it is, was to be a gain for Fillon. The fact that the incident, whatever it is, is supposedly helping that $tinking $cum says to me that -- in what is sure to be a rigged vote with the “movement toward one who has held power” narrative being applied -- the run-off will be between Fillon and Macron with Le Pen left out. The Ma$ters of the Univer$e are no longer chancing elections even if Trump is on board.
Pence aims to reassure Australia after tense Trump call
The affection the longtime allies usually share for each other is rooted in decades of cooperation on defense, intelligence, and trade. Australia has fought alongside the United States in every major conflict since World War I, and is one of the largest contributors to the US-led military campaign in Iraq and Syria.
