Any damn Wednesday
It's hardly gold at all. Tea will be a chilly affair.
Look what greeted him on the White Tower of Windsor Castle:
"Hey, Donald, welcome to Windsor Castle." Four people were arrested but it's still on Instagram. The main event is scheduled for today in Parliament Square. They really hate "paedos."
By the way, Queen Camilla skipped the Duchess of Kent's funeral on grounds of ill health. Could she be setting up an alibi to avoid having to meet Flatulent Don? I'm just asking questions.
This! The Australian Broadcasting Corporation reporter Trump snarled at yesterday was their Americas Editor John Lyons. Australia's treasurer, Jim Chalmers, said Lyons "was just doing his job," and several legislators defended him. Prime Minister Albanese, who is coming here for the UN opening and not just so Trump can whine about rude journalists, has not commented yet. Freedom of the press -- remember it?
Congratulations, Brian Kilmeade! You have at least one loyal fan in Minneapolis. Although you retracted your call for the homeless mentally ill to be killed "by lethal injection," overnight more than a dozen unhoused people were shot at encampments across the city. "Here we are again in the aftermath of a mass shooting. This is not normal," said police Chief Brian O'Hara. Normal? It's barely newsworthy.
Donny's Warfightin' Navy continues to blow people out of the Caribbean for the crime of traveling by boat, and he's getting pushback from -- well, first the quote: "There has to be a line between crime and war. We can't just consider anything that harms the country to be a matter for the military, because that could potentially include every crime." Remember John Yoo? Deputy assistant attorney general under George W. Bush? Author of the infamous "torture memo" justifying "enhanced interrogation"? Yeah, he's gone rogue. Now he's worried about the Geneva Convention. He teaches law at Berkeley, so maybe they radicalized him.
Yes, the latest installment in the War on Education ("Smart people don't like me" -- Trump) is to claim that it turns well brought up Christians into violent lefties. Like Tyler Robinson, who dropped out of Utah State University after one semester and transferred to the electrical apprenticeship program at Dixie Tech. Those guys are real Stalinist badasses. Other alumni of elite institutions include Ted Cruz (Princeton/Harvard Law), J.D. Vance (Ohio State/Yale Law), Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (Harvard, London School of Economics), Scott Bessent (Yale), John Neely Kennedy (Magdalen College, Oxford/UVA Law) and Greg Abbott (UT, Vanderbilt Law). It doesn't always take.
Despite all the disappointments caused by a collapsing economy and flagrant incompetence, MAGAs still cling to Trump because of all his talk about ending human trafficking. They won't like hearing -- if they do -- that the administration has scaled back all efforts in that regard, according to a Guardian investigation. No, this is bigger than Epstein. Key initiatives at State, DHS, HHS, Labor and other departments are being defunded in favor of noisy, well-publicized workplace raids and mass incarceration without trial of "illegals," which delight the right. The annual report on trafficking in this and other countries, due in Congress on June 30, is still undelivered. In response to a written request for information, one of Trump's spokesmodels provided an attack on the Biden administration and a lie about "totally secured borders." Let's all act surprised.
Well, we need to laugh. The Daily Mail reports that Trump brought his own sheets to Windsor Castle; they speculate that he didn't want to ruin the king's Egyptian cotton bedding with cheap tanning chemicals, though thoughtfulness doesn't sound in character. Also, Melania has a separate suite, just like at home.
Back here Karoline Leavitt shared an X post that -- I'll quote: "On the night Charlie was shot, a 4.1 earthquake struck Utah. In scripture, 40 represents trials, 41 signifies a shift. It hit at 5:57 local time, 7:57 Eastern. Acts 7:57 describes Stephen, the first martyr, stoned as the crowd silenced his truth. The Bible says the earth trembles when God is angry." Karolyin's response: "Wow." (I won't even ask why God found it necessary to kill thousands of Afghans: She's fed up with the Taliban's treatment of women.) So was Stephen also a racist and transphobic? Acts doesn't say.
The Reverend Trump also has thoughts about the Kirk martyrdom. Surprise! They loop in Jack Smith, Judge Merchan and Joe Biden.
I don't know how to pronounce his name but I congratulate Xp Lee on winning the seat in the Minnesota House which fell vacant when Melissa Hortman and her husband (and Gilbert) were killed in their home by a MAGA in a police uniform. Trump, who now claims he never heard of her and that he called the family, can STFU.
New College of Florida ("Library? We don't need a library") became the first to announce a Kirk statue for its Sarasota campus. What sculpture could do justice to that tiny face? Next week New is holding a discussion of media bias with four far-right speakers. They're all about free speech, just not "hate speech," which is anything the left says.
Back tomorrow with more hate speech and jokes.
