How stupid is Trump? How stupid are we? There is legislation pending that would integrate portions of U.S. and Israel defense systems. Section 219 of the fiscal year 2007 National Defense Authorization Act. The House has already passed the bill. The bill faces ongoing debate in the Senate.

How can this even be considered after Netanyahu conned Trump into joining forces to attack Iran? Look at the mess such began!

The bill represents stupidity at its highest level!

Is Trump planning a ground war for U.S. troops in Iran? Something the American people do not want. What’s the matter with Trump?

Is Trump in danger of a personal significant Epstein exposure? Word is that in excess of 1,000 photos and other materials exist in the not yet revealed Epstein papers that Republicans and their noble leader are preventing from disclosure.

Are Trump and Hegseth not speaking to truth re the number of Americans killed and wounded in the Iran War? The American people are entitled to an accurate report re each. What is is and should not be hidden!

Enough of Donald.

Sleeping is a problem these hot Summer months. Even with air conditioners going full blast. The heat hangs in many homes even after the sun goes down. Makes sleep difficult. A solution has been revealed. If such is a solution. “Cool bedding.” A “bamboo sheet set.” Good idea? I don’t know. Check it out. “Quince” the manufacturer.

There is a French phrase “to comb the giraffe.” Means “to do something useless.”

Scrabble enthusiasts be aware. I came across the highest scoring word. A single word producing 1,778 letters. The word is “oxyphenbutazone.” It is an anti-inflammatory drug.

When will the truth re Senator Mitch McConnell be revealed? Is he alive?

A desert no more. Tomato soup cake. Dates back to 1922. It was popular among Irish immigrants. It became so popular that in 1960 the Campbell Soup Company printed a version of it on its Tomato Soup label. The soup did not have a tomato taste because of the cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg ingredients which nullified the tomato taste.

Herman Melville, from Moby Dick: “I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, I’ll go to it laughing.”

Calamity Jane died this day in 1903.

“Bed rotting.” A phrase for spending long times in bed. From hours to days. Can be good, can be bad. For sure, it is the body’s way of resetting. Known to be helpful with mental health, or can be a sign of depression.

I spend a lot of time in bed. I consider it healthy. Dr. Norris has not made up his mind yet what it is for me. Don’t forget my age. I am 91. I am tired all the time in spite of the huge amounts of bed time I spend in bed.

About 25 years ago, there was a TV show called the Gilmore Girls. Both mother and daughter were named “Lorelai.” Today many have named and are naming their daughters Lorelai. In the year 2025, 333 out of every 1,000 baby girls were named Lorelai. 

America loves avocados. Those purchased at supermarkets are of one type: The Hass avocado. It makes up 80 percent of American avocado production.

What George Washington’s meals consisted of on a daily basis. Note first, Washington was a multi-millionaire. He had slave labor that cooked for him till he entered the White House. He did not continue with a slave labor cook while President.

Washington’s meals were consistent. For breakfast sliced cow’s tongue, hoecakes, and buttered toast.

He skipped lunch. Ate his second and last meal at 3 in the afternoon: Fried tripe, creamed cabbage, broiled bass and glazed onions. Some days he ate ham or corned beef or broiled lamb and mutton. He ate the meal with five glasses of ale or wine. Both of which he had made himself.

He ate nuts following the 3 p.m. meal and at bedtime.

The tripe meal I found interesting. My mother loved tripe. She consumed large amounts of it. Must have been some sort of Italian delicacy. I hated it! My father, too! She had to cook us separate meals when she enjoyed her tripe.

Tripe is nothing more than a pig’s stomach cooked. Tasted as bad as it sounds.

The weather is crazy. The U.S. and Europe experiencing one of the most hot and humid Summers ever. At the same time , the Antarctica has reached the Earth’s coldest temperature since 2012. Minus 119 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Nurse Paige visited me yesterday. She is the best! I am confident she will get me standing straight and walking properly when she is finished with me. Leaves me tired when she is finished with me, however. I went straight to bed!

Still without a car.

Enjoy your day!
