It’s kinds why the singing of God bless America has somewhat bothered me. In someways, it comes across as a bit arrogant - that were more deserving of God’s favor than we are his mercy. Whenever I hear the chorus of America the Beautiful, in my mind, I think these words: America, America. God have mercy on thee…
Trump Spent Just 20 Minutes Speaking at Crypto Dinner to People Who Paid $148 Million to Be There
By all accounts, the attendees did not get their money’s worth out of the event. YouTuber CoffeeZilla, an investigative journalist in the crypto space, said he was told by attendees that the event was disappointing and “wack.” Christoph Heuermann, a “serial entrepreneur” who attended the event, said in an Instagram post that Trump gave a 20-minute speech and “didn’t interact with the crowd other than enjoying being celebrated. Even VIP token holders (I know some) couldn’t speak or even shake hands with the president.” Don’t worry, though: If you thought that was meant as a criticism of the whole charade, it wasn’t. “It was still well worth it to experience the president live and watch his mightily secured arrival and departure,” Heuermann wrote.

Chuckle. Could this be one of Trump’s heralded negotiating tactics to see who will come to with the bigger bag?He’s nothing if not the quintessential deal maker.
Some historians draw parallels between the second Trump term and Hitler's regime. Eighty years after the end of the World War II, is the comparison relevant?

This is Trump’s way of saying to black people; fuck all you black motherfuckers…I don’t give a damn about you:

The Justice Department moved Wednesday to cancel settlements with Minneapolis and Louisville that called for an overhaul of their police departments following the killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor that became the catalyst for nationwide racial injustice protests in the summer of 2020.
The Trump administration also announced it was retracting the findings of Justice Department investigations into six other police departments that the Biden administration had accused of civil rights violations.
Other than telling young men their disaffection is somebody else’s fault, I don’t detect the compelling message Republicans are making to them. It’s possible to be young, ignorant by choice, and irresponsible or you can be a similarly situated young Maxwell Frost.
Resistance tidbit. Went to the Rangers-Astros game Friday night. Was surprised to see that my bunch was not the only group who declined the invitation to stand and sing God Bless America at the bottom of the 6th.
Jill Biden has never claimed to be a Ph.D. People who hate her are the ones hung up on that nothing burger. And as previously stated, the term, doctor was first used to acknowledge teachers - not medical doctors.
Seems to me cognitive issues would negatively impact your ability to govern. I heard CNN toady, Van Jones, in an appearance with Jake Tapper, say the Dems will find it difficult to recover from deceiving the American people about Biden’s diminished state. Really? Didn’t the “American people” forget and forgive Trump for setting into motion an unprecedented assault on the nation’s Capitol?
Biden’s dementia must be the kind that comes and goes. He didn’t seem at all mentally diminished when I watched his appearance on The View. Not bad for a guy, who according to Trump has “stage 9 prostate cancer.”
