Stars and Stripes...
....not for ever as it turns out;
--- WASHINGTON — The Pentagon has ordered the military's independent newspaper, Stars and Stripes, to cease publication at the end of the month, despite Congressional efforts to continue funding the century-old publication. The order to halt publication by Sept. 30, and dissolve the organization by the end of January, is the latest salvo in the Pentagon's move earlier this year to cut the $15.5 million in funding for the paper from the department's budget. And it is a reflection of the Trump administration's broader animosity for the media and members of the press. --- This really, really sucks. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/04/pentagon-halts-stars-and-stripes-newspaper-408945 -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

Did they run an article that he considered unfavorable, or was it something else? It certainly wasn't the money. $15 mil is a drop in the bucket for the defense budget. In reading the articles, I cannot find that Trump made the proposal. The Pentagon made the proposal, and Trump shot it down. -- Freedom Isn't Free! |

His news server subscription lapsed and he is not renewing although he might pop up on GG. |
