I think I've determined a way that I can tell if it's raining today or forecast to rain soon in Taormina, Sicily, Italy without being there or looking at a weather report. Some days, Google sends a few people to this page in my travel journal: https://journeys.klebanoff.com/2023/05/taormina-in-the-rain/
It happened again today. This is the first time I've checked, so n=1, but it's raining today and forecast to rain there again tomorrow.

I have no idea as to John Bolton's innocence or guilt, nor am I in any way a fan of his politics, quite the opposite, but anyone who thinks he would have been indicted if he were a friend of Trump's rather than a foe is delusional. The indictment was sought for retribution, not justice.

Upcoming Trump settlement negotiations:
Trump to DOJ: You owe me $230 million for investigating my crimes, um, I mean fake news allegations.
DOJ to Trump: Yes, boss. We definitely owe you money for investigating you, but $230 million is a grossly unfair number. Let's make it $530 million.
Trump: Deal.
