“Erik and Lyle Menendez …. who have served more than three decades in prison for the 1989 murders of their parents, will appear before California parole officials Thursday and Friday in a bid to convince the panel that they are suitable for release. A Los Angeles judge found three months ago that the men do not pose an ‘unreasonable risk’ and resentenced them to 50 years to life — a decision that effectively canceled their previous prison terms of life without the possibility of parole and made them eligible for ‘suitability’ hearings immediately. … If they are found suitable for parole, a review process that can take nearly a half-year follows. The decision to release the brothers will ultimately land with California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has 30 days to affirm, reverse or modify the decision or refer it back to the parole board.” (08/21/25)

“It has been more than 16 years since the second Bush of the father-son political dynasty left office, but the damage done by these two men continues to affect the lives not only of people in the country but around the world. Unfortunately, in the present age of Donald Trump, both Democrats and never-Trump Republicans are rehabilitating their disastrous presidencies, asking us to forget their legacies of death and destruction. Over the next two weeks, this column will remind our readers of the carnage these two presidents left behind.” (08/21/25)

“A Bangkok court has acquitted controversial billionaire and former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who was accused of insulting the monarchy. The charge related to an interview he gave to a South Korean newspaper ten years ago. He would have faced up to 15 years in jail if convicted. Thailand’s lese majeste law forbids insulting its monarchy. But critics say it is often used to target activists and political opponents.” (08/22/25)

“A pair of federal lawsuits filed in San Francisco and New York this week accuse Delta Air Lines and United Airlines of misleading passengers by charging premium fees for window seats next to blank walls. A New York law firm brought the cases as proposed class actions on behalf of any passengers who say they wouldn’t have selected or paid more for their reserved places if they had known the seats did not include a window. … Alaska Airlines and American Airlines also sell such seats but disclose the information when customers choose their seats, the lawsuits assert.” (08/21/25)
