Tuesday's Final Word

Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a tab of wealth and taste ... AP Photo/Charlie Riedel Ed: DespicaPeople. === NY Post : Cartoonist, author and political commentator Scott Adams died Tuesday after a battle with prostate cancer. He was 68. His ex-wife and caregiver, Shelly, made the announcement on Adams’ livestream Tuesday morning. “Unfortunately, this isn’t good news,” Shelly said. “Of course, he waited ’til just before the show started, but he’s not with us anymore.” Ed: The NYP has the video clip with Shelly's announcement. Keep her and all of Scott's family and friends in prayer today, and pray for the repose of his soul. === Ed: Leave it to the NYT to make one snarky comment (about a poll!) the central event in Adams' life, while overlooking murder and terrorism in the eulogy subhead for Qassem Suleimani. Maybe we can call them the DespicaTimes? === Scott Johnson at Power Line : Joe Thompson has reportedly resigned from his position in the Office of the United States Attorney for the District of Minnesota. Over his years in the office he served as head of the Fraud and Public Corruption section by designation of former United States Attorney Andrew Luger, as Acting United States Attorney by appointment of President Trump, and as First Assistant United States Attorney by designation of current United States Attorneuy Dan Rosen. ... For reasons I have stated repeatedly on Power Line and elsewhere, by my lights Thompson is a hometown hero. We owe him a debt of gratitude and convey our best wishes for success in his future endeavors. Ed: Absolutely. Scott has often written at length about Thompson's determination and excellence. However, he's not the only one stepping down in that office. Read on. === Alpha News : Alpha News contacted the U.S. Attorney’s Office to inquire about Thompson’s resignation. However, an auto-reply message said, “The U.S. Attorney’s Office is currently without a PIO. While this box is monitored, responses may be delayed.” The New York Times said that Thompson and other prosecutors left the office over the Department of Justice’s reported push to investigate Renee Nicole Good’s wife and its alleged reluctance to investigate the ICE agent who shot and killed Good in Minneapolis. However, sources familiar with the situation told Alpha News the federal government does plan to investigate the ICE agent. Ed: I don't think the DoJ should shy away from an honest investigation of the shooting. If it's justified, an honest investigation will establish that, and the videos seem pretty conclusive. The same is true about Rebecca Good, who clearly participated in the obstruction and then can be heard telling Rene Good to flee the scene. If that's not enough to get a grand jury indictment, so be it, but there's no reason to avoid an honest investigation in her case, either. === Ed: What are the odds that Reid's eventual NY DespicaTimes' obit will mention her racist comments in the subhead? She has a far longer track record...
