When our grand dog Bennett can’t find anyone to play fetch, he plays a game he created that we call Lifeguard! He INTENTIONALLY knocks the ball into the water and runs around frantically declaring an emergency. Then he finally jumps in and rescues the ball. Over and over again.

For a long time I’ve expected Trump to send troops to major cities, wait until protests begin, and then declare it’s too dangerous to vote. However, I figured he would do this in September 2026. Perhaps he’s doing it now because he just doesn’t like opposition to his policies.
Besides the Epstein diversion, the deployment of troops to DC is to create two chilling possibilities. One, to invoke the insurrection act and put down any demonstrations as the country goes south. Two, to suspend elections and declare martial law if the country turns against.

Valuable analysis on the huge negative impact Trump’s tariffs will have on American small businesses. We should applaud the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for speaking out on this!.
Trump has thus far imposed, unilaterally, a $200 billion annual tax on American small businesses Here's the math:

I’m not sure I’ve ever agreed more with a Twitter X post.
sweet caroline was already one of the worst songs ever, but people adding that unnecessary "so good! so good!" really cements as an all-time Imbecile Anthem.
