So, will Ernst say that Donal Trump is setting a bad example for the country with his McDonald's diet. He even had McDonald's served in his meeting with Musk, RFK Jr., and Don Jr.

HBO's mini-series "WH Plumbers" ridicules the bizaaro behavior of Hunt and Liddy. But Eagle Ed and his bunch take preposterousness to new levels. Look forwarrd to that mini-series.

Trump is like a serial killer who can use the U.S. Navy as his murder weapon. Remember when Trump's campaign speeches made all those weird references to Hannibal Lecter. Maybe Trump admires the fictional killer.

Paul Krugman's newsletter today discusses the economy's problems "under the hood." Sentiment is almost at 2008 levels, and job postings are flat. The overall unemployment rate is still flat, but the rate for black Americans is increasing rapidly. Perhaps Trump is getting his anti-DEI results?

Abbott's claim that the Guard would be surged to Austin Texas for No Kings Day could also be paired with the Austin Police Department statement. In the end, the National Guard did not appear on Austin's streets. It was just propoganda?

I think the 1988 version of D.O.A. is better than the 1950 original film of the same name. Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan are a good combination. Supposedly there was a glitch in the copyright on the original film, which led to many re-makes of it.

An original No Kings rally in Boston (July 18, 1776). They must think this is a Hate America Rally too.

When this era is over, don't forget the businessmen who were complicit in crimes against humanity, dumping immigrants in torturous African prisons. After WWII, the U.S. tried German corporate executives who cooperated with the Nazi horror. (IG Farber trial at Nuremburg below)

Too many to say "best." I like "Insomnia," Norwegian murder mystery. It was remade into an American movie with Al Pacino, which isn't bad...but I still like the original film, considered Norwegian Noir.

Will SCOTUS be remembered in history by the way they destroyed democracy? History remembers Germany's Justice Roland Freisler, who combined mastery of legal texts with his zealous conversion to Nazi ideology. Shown below presiding over People's Court.
