Trump ally Kari Lake shut down Voice of America and handed its global platform to far-right network OANN, giving it access to 350 million viewers. Known for election lies and conspiracy theories, OANN’s rise fulfills a key Project 2025 goal—turning U.S. public media into a megaphone for extremism.

Yesterday, the National Significant Wildland Fire Potential Outlook showed us the first glimpse of August & it is not pretty. Neither is July. As for June, it looks rough in the SW. This, with diminished federal response capacity & who knows what with FEMA. Buckle up--you're probably on your own.

P.S. This is why I am never competing in bodybuilding. I like food.

The basic formula for peasant meals is grain + legume + flavor/micronutrients. Beans and rice plus whatever produce tastes good sautéed in butter or olive oil and chucked on top of a serving and voilà.

A reminder to reporters: Because Trump tariff numbers are made-up nonsense, using the phrase “reciprocal tariffs” is lying to your audience. The phrase itself is propaganda. They are not reciprocal.
