I know so many of you have been wondering where I’ve been.  Please know I’ve read your comments, prayers and words of support and kindness. It meant the world to me.

Goodbyes are hard. But they are necessary before you can meet again…

Love,

Breaking News: A major earthquake struck central Venezuela, shaking buildings and knocking out electricity. https://t.co/ZltKers2Oc

Pretty rare earthquake activity tonight on Earth.

Both of these things happening within 2 hours of each other:

1 in 1,000 to 1,200 years

• A “doublet” earthquake in Venezuela (two quakes of similar magnitude in the exact same spot)
• A totally separate 6.9+ quake somewhere else (Japan)

The DOJ took the extraordinary step of seeking to force reporters for The Post and the Wall Street Journal to testify before a federal grand jury — but withdrew the subpoenas earlier this month after they were challenged by the news organizations. https://t.co/GyYVCW8IK0

@karolineleavitt The President himself asked the media to report on the Reflecting Pool: https://t.co/di05btaDub

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

You know who's obsessed with the Reflecting Pool? Donald J. Trump.

[Gretchen A Peck @GretchenAPeck]

What's more deranged: The media reporting on an ongoing renovation project costing tens of billions of taxpayer dollars, or the Administration deploying the National Guard to intimidate and prosecute curious Americans and tourists?

[Karoline Leavitt @karolineleavitt]

So true, and so sad. The liberal media is truly deranged.

[Gretchen A Peck @GretchenAPeck]

Quite a sign-off

WATCH: Emmy-winning reporter and KWQC TV6 morning anchor Dustin Nolan was visibly emotional as he announced on-air Friday that he’s quitting both the station and the news industry. He said the newsroom owed viewers “more than trends or sanitized news”
