Can you feel the love?
In Scotland, Donald Quixote decided to lecture the world on windmills:
But if you go all the way to Scotland, you can find journalists who still do journalism.
"Was part of the rush to get this [EU trade deal] done to knock the Jeffrey Epstein story out of the headlines?"
"Oh, you gotta be kidding with that! No, had nothing to do with it. Only you would think that."
It had everything to do with it. The trip itself, timed to distract from Todd Blanche's meetings with Ghislaine Maxwell. The need for Fox News to have something beside Epstein to talk about -- and they do. If Trump weren't staging a triumphant visit to Europe they'd have to put together three hours a night about Monica Lewinsky, or maybe Al Franken. Or deep-fake a photo of Monica Lewinsky with Al Franken. The impending execution of Barack Obama for treason, and now a fresh demand to prosecute everyone who endorsed Kamala Harris. This one is actually funny. Did you know Beyonce got eleventy billion dollars and didn't sing a note? Neither did Al Sharpton. "YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PAY FOR AN ENDORSEMENT," says the expert on law. Trump used to while away the days between visits to Epstein Island by filing nuisance lawsuits like the one just dismissed against Bob Woodward. Now he wants nuisance prosecutions which have just as much chance but will be financed by Joe and Jane Scratchcard like his golf vacations, and be reported as if they were based in reality. Especially on CBS "News."
It isn't all fun and cheating, of course -- a tariff deal of 15% with the European Union was supposedly made, or at least the outline of a plan for a deal. Trump wanted to impose a 5,000 percent tariff on France for recognizing Palestinian statehood, but someone carefully explained how the EU works -- all or nothing. Then they explained it again. Then they gave up and praised his putting.
Trump is beloved in Scotland, so it was chosen for the debut of his armored golf cart, which media are calling "Golf Force One." No word on how much this set us back. Barack Obama received threats of racist violence every day he was in office, but somehow he never thought to go golfing in a tank.
Back home his minions are keeping things ticking over. Knowing his master's love of shiny gold things, Pequeno Marco decided to improve the chances of an American team winning the Little League World Series by cancelling the visas of Cacique Mara from Maracaibo, Venezuela, winners of the Latin American championship. They certainly would not have donated the trophy to Trump as Chelsea did, settling for a cheap replica. Is Master pleased? Next year the LLWS will probably be held in a civilized country like Bolivia.
School's out but the War on Education rages on. MAGA thinker Charlie Kirk was on Fox yesterday to argue that college be replaced by a careful study of YouTube and the podcasts of Joe Rogan. Rachel Compos-Mentis was impressed that Charlie can quote Aristotle without having been to college. I'm impressed that she's heard of Aristotle. "You could be autodidactic, which is to be self-taught," Charlie explained, dazzling her still further. Weekend host Charlie Hurt is a proponent of the Wackford Squeers method of learning by doing: "Wonderful, rewarding jobs like picking blueberries...the idea that your government, your precious government, doesn't allow children to work summer jobs in blueberry fields is just mind-blowing to know." Well, some minds are more easily blown than others. Hurt sees children as a viable substitute for all those "aliens" who are not showing up for work. He seems unaware that in many migrant families children already work alongside their parents so the family can survive, "rewarding" or not.
Kids will have to get tougher if the Lawrence County (Tennessee) School District is anything to go by. They are no longer accepting sick notes from parents or doctors, to teach "work ethic and reliability." After all, sick and injured adults also need to go to work. And think of the possibilities for spreading contagion! Brainworm Bob must be thrilled. Sawbuck says they're also anti-vax and anti-mask. These people are serious -- miss enough school and the courts get involved. When did the Scopes Trial state get so goldurned excited about book-learnin'?
Speaking of education, what's all this about Oklahoma schools superintendent Ryan Walters watching nude women on the TV in his office during a meeting? Highly unusual for someone who wants to replace education with Christian indoctrination. Of course he calls it a hoax, but the Republican speaker of the state house wants him to turn over all his "relevant devices" for investigation. If he was a little sharper he could have claimed he was doing "research." It was two board members who turned him in, not some Democrat spy from the woke media.
There has been excitement in the skies, too. Last Friday a Delta/SkyWest flight out of Minot, North Dakota, nearly collided with a B-52 bomber returning from the State Fair. The airport lacks radar and the controller apparently didn't know the bomber was there. Also on Friday a Southwest flight out of Burbank had to plunge 300 feet to avoid a Hawker-Hunter Mk. 58, a fighter owned by a British defense contractor. There were several injuries to passengers and cabin crew. Today a Delta flight from Minneapolis landed in San Francisco without incident, until passengers watched ten agents from DHS and local law enforcement "storm the cockpit" and arrest the pilot, allegedly for possession of child pornography. It must have been horrific if it took ten of them and they couldn't wait for him to get off the plane.
And in Pissy Little Bitch news, Democrats in Congress are facing obstruction as they attempt to reserve meeting space in the Capitol for caucuses, shadow hearings and constituent gatherings. As of today, they are still permitted to use bathrooms (birth gender only). Before this year is out, I expect a serious effort to outlaw the Democratic Party, something they never managed with the Communist Party even in the darkest days of HUAC. After his meeting with poor Keir Starmer Trump uncorked another unhinged rant about Epstein: "I haven't been overly interested in it...those files were run by the worst scum on earth. They were run by Comey, they were run by Garland, they were run by Biden, and all of the people that actually ran the government, including the autopen...Christopher Steele...they can put things in the file that are fake..." Then the press was ushered out so Steven Cheung could bring a fresh diaper.
Meanwhile Senator Ron Wyden has spent years tracing the $1.5 billion in suspicious transfers from Epstein's accounts at four banks, discovering payments to many women, art purchases for rich friends, sanctioned Russian banks and individuals -- something tells me this is just the beginning. Wyden accuses the Bondi Department of trying to bury yet another file. Shocking.
