Not happening, Donald! Just days after claiming it would be a “great discredit” if he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize, the prize went to South African anti-apartheid lawyer and human rights judge Navi Pillay.

Eugene Jacques Bullard was one of the first African-American military pilots, although he flew for France, not the US. Bullard was one of the few Black combat pilots during WW I. Also a boxer and a jazz musician, he was called "L'Hirondelle noire" in French or "Black Swallow". Today is his Birthday

As multiple polls show state Rep. James Talarico with a shot at becoming the first Democrat to win statewide in Texas in more than three decades, Trump warned the crowd in San Antonio, “We’ll never forgive you for what you have done if you let that happen." Get a backbone Texas Vote your conscience

Trump and Republicans in Congress passed a bill last year that delayed implementation of drastic reductions in Medicaid spending and new work requirements for social benefits until after the midterms. That could put a newly seated Congress in a tough bind.

In remarks Tuesday, Trump shouted out to Russ Vought “We have some big surprises coming up in a few weeks. He’s gonna be one of the important people in the history of our country.” He posted on Truth Social “Watch for the ‘Midterm Surprise!’” without explaining what he meant. Time to buy more ammo.

At a pivotal moment for the country, Trump is preoccupied by construction projects and old grievances. He couldn't care less. He's deluded himself into believing that his 'super intelegence' is so great that we should all be anxious to vote for him and his toadies. Nope. We have real intelligence.

Stand by for new pain with nearly everything you buy: Global bunker fuel supply has tightened sharply and is now genuinely running short largely because of the US-Israel-Iran war and, secondarily Ukraine's drone campaign against Russian refineries. Bunker oil is what ships run on. Connect the dots.

Claims of widespread voting by noncitizens by President 'chump' and Secretary Mullin, took a major hit Thursday after Nevada officials could not identify a single noncitizen on a list DHS sent them. Election officials said all 185 names DHS claimed were noncitizens were, in fact, U.S. citizens.
