There's a madman in the White House. It's unprecedented and truly unbelievable. No one in the US or the world had a contingency plan for this reality. (Hint: the way to deal with this? Is not spelled mid-terms).

The WSJournal woke up. Chaos/blitz is the strategy. “Assuming all of this is legal, it’s still an unseemly display of using the Presidency for family profit...The main difference between Hunter Biden’s foreign dealings and the Trump projects is that the Trumps are brazenly open about theirs.”

This is how the White House communicates. (From The Daily Beast 7/1/26) In a statement to the Daily Beast, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung said, “You must be f---ing blind or stupid, because that was a perfect walk.”

From the Daily Beast. This shameless garbage spewing out of the WH makes me vomit. “White House spokesperson Davis Ingle told the Daily Beast…”President Trump’s sharpness, unmatched energy, and historic accessibility stand in stark contrast to what we saw during the last administration ….”

Anytime any respectable journalist mentions our two chief negotiators with Iran, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, they should note both receive sizeable paychecks from Middle Eastern nations with deep equities in these talks. It is a fundamental corruption.

… what would happen if 1000s of Americans showed up in DC on the 4th & touched the water in the Reflecting Pool & accidentally looked under the tarps on The Kennedy Center. Just thinking conceptually here, of course—they can’t arrest everyone. PS - bring gloves.That water is nasty.

Hands Off The Arts got around the tarps and took this photo of The Kennedy Center facade minus trump’s name. WaPo verified/printed it today. Proof that Trump cannot get it up or keep it up, so he hides it behind a tarp. Oops, meant to say his name on the The Kennedy Center.

Jamelle Bouie nailed it (again). “Sunday’s U.F.C. fight is not just a garish spectacle; it is an expression of the president’s contempt for the ritual and symbolism of American democracy — which is just another way to say, his contempt for democracy itself.” I’m embarrassed today.

Not gonna lie, I’m not proud of myself for watching the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills - Reunion, season 1, circa 2011. It's a bad sign and possibly a cry for help. But this looks like a cabinet meeting, USA, circa 2026. Help? Anyone?

This Memorial Day I feel great sorrow for heroes buried at Arlington & those who fought & died everywhere. My family has a tradition of fighting tyranny. Anyone can do it, but it takes more than posts & likes. We must protect our own country & stop them. Plot One, Arlington. My grandparents’ grave.
