Bari Weiss taking over CBS was yet another nail in the coffin of a free press in the United States. We need a free press, for without it we cannot know facts, cannot know what our government is or isn’t doing, and therefore we cannot make informed decisions. Full stop. Dan Rather, a journalist and […]
Hear Ye, Hear Ye …
In this last political post of 2025, Dan Rather looks back at the freedom of the press and freedom of speech. It’s important now, more than ever before, to fight for our rights to speak our minds and put Trump’s regime right where it deserves to be. Release the Epstein Files but unredacted, please.

📽️ TRIBUTE
One of the best all-time films of the 20th Century is one that was directed by Rob Reiner entitled Sleepless in Seattle. Produced in 1993, it looks at two star-crossed lovers who find their way to each other, despite all the obstacles that were in front of them. One lost his wife to cancer, the other was about to marry someone who was allergic to everything. And the son of the widower found a way to make the love happen between two perfect strangers who were simply meant to be in the end. It reminded me of my romantic with my wife which started in college and has remained strong ever since. ❤️
What really made the movie a smash hit was the soundtrack to the film. It featured a collection of love songs, past and present, including one that is absolutely in the top three of my all-time favorites. It was one that I even performed with my friend and former classmate at talent shows and the homecoming concert in highschool during my senior year. It’s a song that brings tears of joy to a loved one and brings back memories of romantic moments with long-time couples, like in my case. It was performed by Celine Dion and Clive Griffin.
Have a look at When I Fall in Love, which made the Top 25 in all but one country, reaching Nr. 2 in Canada and Nr. 6 in the US Billboard Charts for Contemporary Music.
