Trump has called off the livestream execution of Nidal Malik Hasan, a former U.S. Army Major who killed 13 soldiers and wounded 32 others. They'll still execute him, and they should, but the optics of riddling a paraplegic confined to his wheelchair with bullets was a bit much even for Trump.

Exactly how corrupt was Trump's ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, to the point that even Trump would fire her? And speaking of corrupt, how much is Trump going to have to pay her to keep her mouth shut about Jan. 6th and Trump, Jr.?

In the likely event that Fox News, CBS News, and the White House start spewing the lie that Texas Senate candidate James Talarico (D) has been in an Ohio rehab faciltiy, remember the following post. (And FTR, he had the flu.)

Factoid of the Day: In 1767, golfer James Durham shot a 94 at St. Andrews in the Silver Cup competition after the R&A had settled on 18 holes for the course in 1764. Durham's 94 set a course record at the time, a record that remained unbroken for 86 years.

I am NOT financial advisor but anyone nearing retirement age might want to look at 10 year U.S. Treasury bonds as they near 6% in interest. For example, $50,000 invested at 6% will be worth over $90,000 when those bonds mature, assuming they are compounded annually. Just sayin'.

We are now allies with Russia. Trump is siding with Putin against the world. I'm telling you that this ends with us attacking Ukraine.

Maybe Trump is exporting our diesel inventory to Russia so Putin can export it back to us and make Trump look good just before the mid-term elections. Oh, and don't forget to vote.

NYFed: By February 2026, Trump's tariffs had contributed 2.9 percentage points to consumer goods price inflation; without tariffs, goods prices would have fallen slightly. The tariffs raised the cost of imported goods AND their domestically-produced competitors.

Hegseth also removed the olive branches, a traditional symbol of wishing peace, from the Department of Defense seal. This, in addition to changing the name to "The Department of War," shows the dangerous belligerency that comes from appointing a frat bro who values testosterone over statesmanship.

And for the record, all fire departments are socialist programs adopted by democratically elected officials at the city and/or county level. Capitalism is when your insurance company denies your claim after the fire department puts out the fire.
