Every now & then I look at Quora. This morning, I found this, & it’s about the most perfect essay on the whole reflecting pool thing I’ve ever read. Answer to What are your thoughts on the criticism of Trump's Reflecting Pool renovations? by Chris O'Leary www.quora.com/What-are-you...

I love the Cape www.instagram.com/reel/DbvxdAC...

Perhaps I’m being unfair or judgmental. But it sounds like Fareed Zakaria is saying that the only way for Democrats to win is to stay Democrats on economic issues but be more like Republicans on social issues to get the “working class” vote. Seriously? www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

I wonder if the GOP, with all of their fear mongering and rattling on about Communism, a la Joe McCarthy and Roy Cohn, just assumes that their rank and file are just too stupid to look up the actual definition of Communism. What am I asking? They don’t assume it. They rely on it.

Elon Musk’s DOGE didn’t make “big errors,” in their claims. They told big whoppers. There’s a difference. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

This is exactly how it’s done. ⬇️

“…Bobby Brainworms Jr. is what would happen if Dunning and Kruger had a baby — and then dropped it on its head. …yesterday, he went on CNN… & taught a master class in why you should never put a whale-head-chainsawing maniac in charge of an entire nation’s health.” open.substack.com/pub/jefftied...

“…officers used the technology to spy on their wives, their girlfriends, their exes, their exes’ new partners or women they wanted to meet. “ www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

“…she couldn’t bring a conviction for Assault With a Deadly Sandwich, and her indictment for Grand Theft Paint Chips has just blown up in her inebriated face…” Gotta love Jeff Tiedrich ! good news, everyone! Grand Theft Paint Chips no longer a crime open.substack.com/pub/jefftied...

One of the many reasons to elect a Commander in Chief who listens to someone more knowledgeable than the voices in his head. wapo.st/4fQywc5

So… What Johnson seems to be saying, is that if you make an allegation for which you have no evidence, it automatically means the allegation must be true because the perpetrator wouldn’t /couldn’t have been so able to conceal it so completely unless it really happened. Do I have that right?

My very wise friend, Anne, who is way smarter than me, not to mention nicer, said the following today. I think it’s worth repeating: “A Trump never experienced losing a Little League game as a seven-year-old. He doesn’t know how to lose. He thinks coming in second in a two man race is a disgrace”

Honestly ? I don’t care why! If Texas elects James Talarico because he’ll be a terrific Senator or because the GOP draws their line in the sand before they vote for the one human on earth more revolting than Donald Trump & Ted Cruz, it’ll still flip the f***ing seat! thehill.com/homenews/cam...

We must remember that the people who voted & will vote for this unholy mess fall into two categories: 1) People too ignorant to know that government ownership of formerly “private,” companies and industry is THE DEFINITION OF COMMUNISM, and 2) People wealthy enough not to care.

“…mislabeled every single country it highlighted…coastal countries like Nigeria, Mozambique and Cote D’Ivoire were all landlocked and in the wrong locations…” Wouldn’t you think it might occur to them that a country called “Ivory Coast,” might be ON THE COAST? www.jefftiedrich.com/p/cookin-wit...

Trump’s racism is MUCH MORE than a flirtation. In fact, Trump and racism have been happily married just about forever!

“…comparing one female reporter to a transgender social media star, mocking politicians’ physical appearances & bringing his audience to mostly stunned silence, before donning a red campaign hat and declaring he was running for another term.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

How much further down the rabbit hole do you think we need to go? www.washingtonpost.com/style/2026/0...

You’ve GOTTA LOVE Jeff Tiedrich! open.substack.com/pub/jefftied...

Huh… He wants to re-name Penn Station, “Trump Station?” & Dulles airport “Trump Airport?” I have a better idea for a place to bear his name. How about renaming Las Vegas’ Apex Regional Landfill? With 2,200 acres of smelly trash, it’s the biggest garbage dump in the Country Seems appropriate, right?

Some days I love the law…

Unfortunately, this isn’t going to rein him in, but it’s a crack in the wall and I’ll take it. (And, by the way, things might get worse. The Houthis in Yemen, Iran’s proxies, will probably at least try to stop Saudi oil from transiting the Red Sea.) www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Looks like there MIGHT have been a call from Uncle Bibi… www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Ladies & gentlemen, endless essays, articles and speeches have been & will be written about this awful man & his shameful acts & the events that motivated them, but none will explain all of them better than this.

Wildland firefighters from Maine, Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Hampshire went to Canada to help fight fires, per the Northeastern Forest Fire Compact. Funny how that works. Canada helps us when we’re in trouble and we help them when they’re in trouble And nobody says a damn word about tariffs

Should read: “International Criminal warns he will commit further war crimes if Iran continues to kick his a** in master class in asymmetric warfare.” There. Fixed it. thehill.com/policy/inter...

Oh! You mean like the one Trump announced he planned to create in the Strait of Hormuz by charging a “fee” of 20% of the value of the cargo? thehill.com/policy/inter...
