Trump is letting Putin manipulate him again. Trump is so desperate to force a peace in Ukraine thereby perhaps getting him the Nobel Peace Prize he so desperately wants that the Alaska meeting may be Trump’s Munich.
At the moment, everything is “desperate” for Trump. He desperately wants “his huge ballroom.” He speaks of construction beginning soon. He forgets there is a National Capital Planning Commission. Its approval required. Takes time. Big time to obtain.
Finally! Major League Baseball has hired its first female umpire. Jen Pawol.
Popular quote: “The only way to prove you are a good sport is to lose.”
Trump wrong to assign FBI agents to Washington Streets to work overnights. Washington has its own police forces. Federal troops not required. Only Trump thinks so. He is always playing another game. One to gain notoriety.
The facts do not justify what Trump is doing. He is assigning 120 FBI agents. Statistics do not support Trump’s position. Violent crime is down 26 percent since 2024, homicides 12 percent. Juvenile arrests this year down 900, 20 percent fewer than the same time last year.
Groucho Marx quote: “Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend.”
A white-only town exists in rural Arkansas.
The group making up the population says it is about freedom and community. Critics say it is a dangerous step toward organized hate.
I searched for the community’s name. A strange one: Return to the Land.
A new Satanic neo-Nazi group is recruiting children as young as 12. Located in Germany. The group is named Milikolosskrieg. It emerged last year.
Most members 12-18.
Trump has stashed the portrait of former President Barack Obama in a hidden stairwell in the White House.
Wonder how Trump will feel in the future if his portrait is buried in hiding?
Winston Churchill: “Mr. Attlee is a very modest man. Indeed he has a lot to be modest about.”
America’s bees are dying at an alarming rate as scientists try to figure out why. Several reasons therefore. Losses running from 55 to 80 percent.
I repeat again. Trump is “desperate” for a Nobel Peace Prize” more than anything else.
Donald Trump has an approach to wielding power. There is a simple paragraph in his 1987 book “The Art of the Deal” that proves it: “My style of deal – making is quite simple and straight forward. I aim very high, and then I just keep pushing and pushing and pushing to get what I’m after. Some I settle for less than I sought, but in most cases I still end up with what I want.”‘
Yesterday August 10 was National Lazy Day.
Alcatraz. On this day in 1934, the first federal prisoner arrived at Alcatraz Island. The island became home to more than 1,500 prisoners over the next three decades before closing in 1963.
Enjoy your day!
It’s called “Return to the Land” and it’s been established in the Ozark hills of Arkansas.
Louis – ICE Agents are enforcing laws that have been on the books for decades, just not enforced by your recently adopted party. They wear masks to protect their identity and that of their family against radical lefties and other anarchists who do not believe in law and order (its too expensive).
Hat’s off to yesterday’s piece! Your mind is as crisp as a Western NY cucumber! I’m glad you’re writing. That can only mean you’re thinking and functioning.
Smartest man ever.
Keep going!
No Merle, ICE’s efforts are “FLOUTING” Laws that have been on the books for years and have NOT proved effective. Trump’s goons are only acting out the political pipe dreams of a demented despot, who is desperate to prove he’s both foolish and wrong, yet again. With all his saber rattling (and needless spending), he has not even collected as many people as he had done back in 2016/7 during his first term, which was then not even as many as the previous president, Barack Obama.
…and you do know that Lou has been a Liberal Democrat, for decades, and he is from Utica, NY, not western
Why is it you Republicans ignore reality (facts) and live in a world of lies and distortions.
Hey Lou, according to the US energy information administration, retail gas prices are at close to the lowest price per gallon in almost the last 4 years. What is your source that gas prices are rising rapidly at you claim?
…ah… most reports I read (including the Miami Herald) say that gas prices are indeed up, substantially, that includes the “US Energy Information Administration” own website. Same with my personal experiences at the pump, noticeably.
So why are you lying about this too?
Just a troll?
Since Trump is big on “demanding” all kinds of things from people lately, maybe he will “demand” that the Nobel committee give him “the prize” or he will withhold funding of put a big tariff on them.
Hey Lou, key west gas is about $3.30 a gallon. Eyw is always higher than the mainland. Still much cheaper than the $5 plus a gallon under Biden (Obamas third term) …
Where I live in Georgia, prices for regular are now nearing $4.00 per gallon.
It was ALWAYS under $3.50 with Biden.
TRUMP promised he’d have them at $1.99 a gallon, which hasn’t (and never will) happen.
Funny how you tend to accuse everyone but Trump – that’s TRUE TDS
