  • I thought this war was on the verge of getting wrapped up last week. 

    • New this morning:

  • Remember those boat strikes down south? They had still been going on -- Without a war declared against them or giving them a trial. Just summarily executed, regardless of guilt or innocence. 

  • Trump's online postings on Saturday were worse than normal. Truly the unfiltered words and thoughts of what's on his mind in real time, and it is not comforting. A collection of them is here.

     
  • Trump is big mad, too. And he wants to turn the Fourth of July into a MAGA rally.

  • The Great American State Fair, a "free 16-day festival set to take over the National Mall in Washington, D.C., with concerts, military tributes and patriotic bashes for America’s 250th anniversary" is having a little trouble. They better put Kid Rock and Lee Greenwood on standby again. 




  • Russia just casually bombing a NATO country?


  • We live in Idiocracy.

    • New this morning.  Gift link.

    • A month ago Trump said to “go out and buy a Dell computer.”  In the February before that, he had purchased shares of Dell in the "$1 million to $5 million band" according to financial disclosure forms. Now this: 

  • There was another South Korea-like cabinet meeting yesterday. Here are a couple of Trump quotes: 



  • The Texas D.A. who once indicted Netflix on pornography charges, and who was once a small time movie star himself,  will not seek re-election.
