Congrats to team Europe for winning the Ryder Cup. Historic and well deserved. Our fans were disgraceful. An embarrassment to the US team and the game of golf. No class, dignity or grace…just like their cult leader in the White House.

Stunningly poor understanding by POTUS of the actual state of the war in Ukraine, of why Soldiers “who don’t have the cards” fight (see Vietnam, Afghanistan, American Revolution), and why Ukrainian success is important to American strategic interests.

Kamala Harris: The courage of Americans who are speaking out to say, it is not ok to violate court orders. Saying it is not ok to detain and disappear American citizens or anyone without due process. The courage of judges to uphold the rule of law in the face of those who would jail them.
