So proud to be an American this afternoon. Watching two dedicated, honorable public servants having a respectful, serious policy debate with no other motives than the interests of the American public brings a tear to my eyes. We were wise to put them in charge. Yikes!

Of course not. This is a country where we elect criminals to the Presidency.

The most frightening thing about the $400 million Qatari jet is that the citizens of the US elected someone who can’t see what is wrong in accepting it to the presidency.

The US Congress has proposed cuts to Medicaid, a programme with 72 million people enrolled, reversing the Affordable Care Act expansion. In a letter, authors estimate the potential effect of the cuts on mortality & catastrophic health-care spending: tinyurl.com/mwp53v8t

It’s unlikely that Kristi Noem’s purse was snatched randomly. The high value target item would be her cellphone. If they got it, this administration would never admit it. And if they got it, there is no longer any point to discuss national security. It’s been obliterated.

On March 30, 2017 Clinton Watts gave us all the insight that Trump was a Russian asset. If you refract the last 2 months through that lens, it makes sense. It doesn’t make sense in any other context.

The thought that the US could conquer and hold Canada Greenland or Panama is absurd. The US could not hold Afghanistan, with multiple NATO allies helping us, much less Canada with NATO opposed.

Three days gone by. There is still no comment from the editors of the New York Times on Signalgate. Thank goodness for Bluesky and Stephen Colbert.

The people who claim that these are not war plans also claim that they won the 2020 election.

I think the police may need to go to the offices of the New York Times for a wellness check. Over 24 hours have past since Goldberg published on Signalgate and no comments from the editorial page. Kidnapped? Held Hostage?

Donald Trump on his National Security Advisor Waltz. “Sometimes people are hooked in, and you don’t know they’re hooked in” You might think a NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR would know.

I’m a bit amused by the pundit’s shock at how bad the Signal - Houthi-Waltz leak is. After all, this administration is led by the same guy who told us to inject bleach. Do they think he became any smarter in five years?

Where does the buck stop on the national security breach by Waltz, Hegseth, Rubio and Vance? I would argue the most egregious failure was that of the feckless, craven Republican senators who confirmed a cabinet they knew to be absolutely unqualified.

The person who is telling us that Elon Musk is finding fraud and waste in the Federal Government is the same person who told us that they were eating the dogs in Springfield Ohio.

Listening to the rhetoric (if you could call it that) that has come from Trump about how US citizens should just suck up the inflation and the recession that his mismanagement is causing I’m stuck by this: Notice how it’s the poor and middle class, not the billionaires who must do all the sucking.
