Wondering when DOGE will get around to examining Trumps golf outings. First term he played over 180 rounds and billed taxpayers about $151M for secret service use of golf carts, food & lodging at rack rate. If you're not proficient at math, that works out to about $840k/round.

Ugly loss by the Fright'ning Illini to a really bad Nebraska team. Though it went into overtime, I knew from 5 minutes into the game they would lose. Extremely talented athletes but a very immature team.

This action, unlike many of the empty and legally toothless EOs is terrifying — it makes these violent militias directly beholden to Trump in an ironclad way www.cnn.com/2025/01/20/p...

Eggs and poultry. Millions of birds are being culled in an attempt to stop the spread of avian flu. This will result in inflationary pressure, just as 47 is returning to office. We have all experienced his lack of ability for crisis management. I suppose he will blame the Dems #IFTYS

We're sitting here watching Beat Bobby Flay. Bobby's secret ingredient is Saltine Crackers. I swear to God I would just spread a couple dozen with peanut butter and serve them to the judges and dare them to tell me it isn't the best and highest purpose of the Saltine Cracker

Watch bonds. Yields rise when lenders tell borrowers they're not confident and want to be paid more to lend them money. Since the election bond yields have done nothing but rise. As Trump talks about tariffs, Greenland, mass deportation bond buyers are taking him seriously and literally. Buckle up.

Heck of a PNW road trip for the Illini basketball team. Road wins in the B1G are tough to come by

Great win for the Fright'ning Illini basketball team. Taking on #9 Ducks in Eugene and dropping a buck nine in a 32 point win. Emphatic.

As we depart New Jersey, I can report no drone sightings. Sigh. My well educated nephew was convinced he spotted one hovering above Clifton last nught. Upon further scrutiny, the rddish glow hovering menacingly over North Jersey turned out to be the planet Mars. The End.
