Pretty old but the older I got the more progressive I became. A good book, coffee, a cookie and I’m set. Ridiculous rule follower: I cross at crosswalks, return my grocery carts and clean my lint filter after each use.

The midterms look promising but what I find disheartening is what is going to take Trump down. Not his lying or cheating or attacking the Capitol. Not his cruelty or ineptitude. Not his bigotry. Not starting a war. Not his embarrassing stupidity. It will be the price of gas and inflation.

Read the NYT interview of Jensen Huang CEO of Nividia. He thinks our fear of AI taking jobs ( among other things is overblown). I think a perfect job for AI to perform would be CEO of an AI chip manufacturer.

FBI employee records were just hacked : the hack had stolen data "on almost ALL FBI Agents, and individuals who filed an application with ⁠the FBI for a job." Remember Kash Patel last week testifying that bestiality charges would no longer be disqualifying for an FBI job? Uh oh…

So glad NBC told me that Dolly Parton’s message that played last night at the AMA was recorded before she died. If it had been recorded after she died I would have been really spooked.

Trump adm proposed new rules to allow subsidies for families in which 1 parent stays home to provide childcare: “children are clearly happier and healthier when they spend the day at home with a parent.” Not unmarried parents though- clearly it doesn’t matter if THOSE kids are happier & healthier.

Today Trump made another attack on Iran. He said “if they retaliate for this very justified attack” we will hit them harder. But he posted on March 14, 2026: “ We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability.” So what exactly would they be retaliating with?

There aren’t sufficient laugh emojis for this: Mr. Yiannopoulos himself had reveled in Mr. Trump’s mass deportations, calling for ICE checkpoints at supermarkets and gas stations and “total legal immunity for ICE agents when they’re on duty.”

Speaking of qualifications : Our Secretaries of Energy under President Obama were Stephen Chu and Edward Moniz. Both highly regarded physicists from Lawrence Berkeley and MIT respectively. Under Trump we had Rick Perry (!) and Chris Wright former CEO of an oil company.

Sure less government. What a great idea. Fewer regulations, fewer food inspectors. Who needs ‘em? “Taylor Fresh Foods, Inc. also donated to other PACs in 2025, including: $100,000 to the conservative super PAC More Jobs, Less Government, June 13, 2025.”

If Trump had even one molecule of integrity or humanity, he would be so embarrassed that the Navy has even entertained the idea of removing the name of a true hero to replace it with his, he would stop it immediately. And WHO in the Navy came up with this? Should receive mental discharge.

Trump wants a fortified billion dollar ballroom to keep him safe. Much cheaper option -catering truck. It’s on wheels and he can crouch and cower inside wherever he goes. Especially handy on the golf course.

Yes the death of Hayden Panatierre was a tragedy but it should not have been the lead story on the national news last night. Trump threatening to bomb an ally and praising Kim Jong Un should have been blared like a brass band.

Per NYT, Trump was asked Tuesday why it was too dangerous for him to fly on Air Force One from Turkey but not too dangerous to evacuate the plane. He claimed the secret plane was actually “at greater risk”. That has to be the STUPIDEST thing he has ever said and that’s a sky high bar.

Trump today denied that the U.S. is running low on munitions and said “ vast resupplies are being produced”. This is Trumpspeak for - we are dangerously low and he has no idea how or when we can replenish them.

A reporter should ask Trump why he doesn’t compensate the Jan 6 rioters himself. He’s made a couple of billion this term. He’s the one who instigated the march on the Capitol. He urged them to fight like hell. And it was to stop the election for his benefit.

Think about this for a second. We have a man nominated for Attorney General of the United States and the Senate has to get his pledge about the slush fund/tax immunity in writing. Attorney General and he can’t be taken at his word.

I think the Republican attacks on Dr. Fauci stem from 2 reasons. 1. When he was caught on camera barely containing his disbelief at the inanities coming from Trump’s mouth. 2. The Congressional hearings where he sparred with Rand Paul. The Infectious disease expert vs the mediocre ophthalmologist.

I wonder if Medicare is being billed for Mitch McConnell’s hospitalization? You know that program that he’s been consistently warning about its rising costs as a principle driver of the national debt? Oh wait. I should use the past tense… that he has “warned” about.

Direct quote regarding the Iran deal from our Genius in Chief today at the G7 : “Nobody knows what it is, but it’s very strong. Most people seem to be very happy, adding: “who’s really happy is the market”. (No further comment needed)

Trump appointed Bill Pulte an heir to a housing construction fortune with zero relevant experience to the critical job of director of DNI. Proof positive that he has absolutely no regard for the security of our country and another gift to Putin.

JD Vance defended the Dr. Jesus meme as a Trump joke and Trump’s criticism of the Pope. He said “ it would be best for the Vatican to stick to matters of morality”. As if starting a war and threatening to wipe out an entire civilization are not matters of morality. I think he’s not very smart.
