The bridge that ain’t is for sale again. This time for $5,000. Trump’s promise to pay every adult American if the Republicans win the Senate and House in the mid-term elections. Even if the Republicans do, don’t hold your breath. Trump promises are without value.
Has Trump won the battle over the Smithsonian? We will not know till we know who the new Smithsonian leader is.
Oh, the lies he speaks! Trump, of course. He is back to lying about the Kennedy Center. Recall the Board has been entirely chosen by Trump. It has been announced the Kennedy Center could be closed as soon as tomorrow. The claim is the Center is so broke that bankruptcy is inevitable. The only way to keep the Center open is to add again Trump’s name to it. So say Trump’s people.
Mid-term elections are seven weeks away. The fear is that Trump will try to screw up the election results by seizing the ballots, posting troops at the polls, and reject ballots for various non credible reasons by the batch.

The official drink of the U.S. open is “Honey Deuce Melon Ball Punch.” A spiked pink lemonade. A vodka drink with a touch of raspberry liqueur and lemon juice. Served 30 minutes cold . Topped with a honeydew ball.
Trump’s 660 million pounds of mystery meat in all likelihood will be dangerous to all Americans. There is no law requiring Americans to be told the source of meat purchases. There is bad meat for sale world wide. I fear Trump may purchase some or all of it. From places like Brazil and Uruguay. The meats could be beef trimmings added to fattier American cuts to mock ground beef. Or small frozen chunks of meat kept in cold storage overseas for years. Beef from cities recognized to sell bad meat.
Beware!!!
During a Pennsylvania speech, Trump spoke/screamed of “dick sizes.” Even Arnold Palmer’s which he described as “all man.”. Not a subject for political or public discussion. At Trump’s age, guaranteed his which has shrunk or not working.
