The problem of people who use Reader Supported News but will not contribute is so serious that it often overshadows the efforts of those who are quite willing to help sustain the organization, and there are many.
We are a long way from finished for March. Let’s take a moment however to thank sincerely our sustainers, large and small each and every one.
In solidarity.

Is the Air Force Helping to Keep Trump's Scottish Resort Afloat?
Daniel Politi, Slate Politi writes: "The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is investigating why a five-person crew with the Air National Guard stopped at President Donald Trump's Turnberry resort as part of a routine trip from the United States to Kuwait to deliver supplies." EXCERPT:
When all these things are considered, there seems to be a real possibility “that the military has helped keep Trump’s Turnberry resort afloat,” reports Politico. After all, Turnberry seems to be doing much better since Trump came into office: “The property lost $4.5 million in 2017, but revenue went up $3 million in 2018.” So far, the Pentagon has yet to reply to any of the inquiries. “The Defense Department has not produced a single document in this investigation,” said a senior Democratic aide.
Rep. Ted Lieu from California wrote in a tweet that the whole thing “smells like corruption.”
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also shared the story on Twitter along with a simple message: “The President is corrupt and must be impeached.”
