Trump says the U.S. economy is the best by far. He insists it. Repeatedly.

How can anyone be so wrong?

He should buy groceries and pay for gasoline fill-ups himself. He is hurting the U.S. big time. How can he not understand it?

Trump wants to build new battleships. I thought they were obsolete. My recollection is the last U.S. battleship constructed was in 1944. He also wants his name on one or more of them. A waste of money in every regard.

Trump spoke Wednesday in Las Vegas. Typical Trump, including a gigantic pack of lies.

Trump and Hegseth were at it yesterday at Camp David re the extreme munitions shortage.

Trump is taking on the Supreme Court again re birthright citizenship. He issued a new Executive Order similar to the one the Supreme Court shot down. Trump added some minor adjustments to make the Order appear different. 

The Donald is abusing the court system. There are people and businesses who need the courts for their problems, not Trump’s bullshit previously defeated ones. Trump generally losses in court. His track record proves it.

Word is Trump is privately telling donors to back Vance in 2028 while making it appear to the contrary. He is playing a strange game.

Canada’s Carney is consistently making Trump look like an ass. A loser. Trump does not see it. As with many other things, the blind cannot see and Trump is definitely blind.

Enough of Trump. On to other matters.

The Senate’s Homeland Security Committee voted to hold Fauci in contempt. Each Republican who so voted should be ashamed. Eight of the thirteen Republican members voted for contempt. Five saw the truth and refused to cooperate in the disgraceful conduct of the majority. 

Republican Committee Chairman Rand Paul said he intends to send the contempt resolution directly to the Justice Department as a referral. He obviously is wasting no time in going after Fauci,

I say Fauci will never see a day in jail. The Rand led Republicans are totally off base. The matter will bounce round the court for several years. Period.

Fauci is not the first to plead the Fifth Amendment before a Senate Committee. Hundreds have done so before him. The Fifth Amendment is one of the Constitution’s most sacred protections.

Want to see a long term example of cursive writing? Take a look at Coca-Cola’s flowing cursive name which has barely changed in more than 130 years. It is one of the most enduring designs in commercial history. Coca-Cola is a “steady Eddie.” Whereas, Pepsi Cola has redesigned its logo more than a dozen times.

Twins, even identical ones, do not have the same fingerprints. No two people have ever had matching fingerprints.

Rained big time yesterday. Steve and I sat on his front porch watching the downpour. We agreed it was the biggest and heaviest we had ever seen in Key West. So heavy that the ground could not absorb it fast enough. A steady 4 inches or so remained sitting on top of the ground.

The Miami Herald in yesterday’s newspaper advised South Florida to be prepared for king tides which may flood their streets next week.

Amazing! First South Florida was hit with a period of too much heat. Now, too much rain?

Ten percent of people world wide are left handed.

Steve Jobs: “If you are working on something that you really care about, you don’t have to be pushed. The vision pulls you.”

Why won’t the U.S. pay off its debt? Not because it cannot afford to do so. Which I believe is the case at the present time. The real reason is if the U.S. paid off the debt, it would disrupt the entire bond market. Blow it!

Treasury bonds are among the most common bonds for investors and the majority of the national debt is in Treasury bonds.

Senator Mitch McConnell has been discharged from rehabilitation to continue his recovery at home. We are finally sure he is alive. May he continue to be.

The question which remains is whether he will be able to proceed as a Senator.

Paige will arrive at 11:30 to work me. Can’t wait. I am always anxious to see her. I sense she is helping me.

Still without a car. It was supposed to be ready yesterday afternoon. It was not. Difficult to live without a car.

Enjoy your day!
