Today in history: In 1793, during the French Revolution, Marie Antoinette was beheaded. In 1859, radical abolitionist John Brown led a raid on the U.S. arsenal at Harpers Ferry. In 1995, the Million Man March was held in Washington D.C. In 2026, Americans groused about Trump on social media.

Trump on phone with R&A. “You can’t penalize DeChambeau. He’s my buddy. Awesome guy. Really really awesome. Hugely awesome. Besides, since when is improving your lie a penalty?”

you know the tune: was once proud to be an american in the days when we were free and i won’t forget the men who died trying to save that right for me and I’ll gladly fight on against these scum reject their Nazi ways cuz there ain’t no doubt they have betrayed the good old USA #america250

Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs. Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026. This is what corporate greed looks like.

Give me ONE thing Trump has done that benefits the country. Not his pocketbook. I can come up with a lot of those. The country. I’ll hang up and listen ….

Speaking to reporters following a G7 meeting in France, Rubio said Iran may seek to set up a toll on the strait, an act that he said could cause significant economic damage to many nations around the globe. Uh, kinda like Trump’s tariffs?

A tool that helps thousands of communities decide when to evacuate residents during hurricanes will expire tomorrow. Why? Because of Kristi Noem’s DHS policy to personally approve expenses over $100K, which is still in place. But she had time to spend $220 million on ads. Priorities.

Just got an $18 tariff bill from USPS on a $23 item sent from Ireland. Help me out. Do I forward bill to White House or Mar-a-Lago???

Dear Grocery Store, I just paid a ridiculous price for coffee. Perhaps you forgot that neither businesses nor consumers would bear tariff costs. Those would be paid by the countries begging to do business with the USA. So please reduce price and bill the guy in the White House. He never lies. Thanks

Supreme Court: We grant POTUS the power to starve out the disadvantaged with hopes he can force an end to shutdown and then hammer them with unaffordable healthcare premiums. We’re with you Donnie! USA! USA!

I highly recommend the series Chernobyl on HBO Max. It's a sobering look at how an autocracy operates, the rampant lies it tells to mislead the public, its disdain for otherwise accepted science and how it places its own image above the well-being of the citizenry.

Within the last week NY’s lame governor fired corrections officers striking over unsafe conditions and its senators voted to keep the Trump/Musk dictatorship rolling. Moral: in NY, crime pays.

A see a story saying that former NFL official Walt Anderson, employed by NFL Network, says the roughing calls against Texans were legit. That should reassure Houston fans.

The communication by the Los Angeles area government and related agencies has been impressive - and they’re still in the midst of their disaster. Contrast that with Florida, where 4 months after devastating ‘canes government has shown no leadership, chaos reigns and DeSantis couldn’t care less.

You are up to date.
