It’s Frozen Pizza Friday. Sync your watches.
It’s summer so I bought green salad fixings. It’s time to start having a side salad whenever possible.
Is trickle down working yet?

Good Morning. Coffee done, tea started.
Looked at headlines. Having Trump as president feels like being a passenger in a car on a two lane road driven by someone who is very drunk who half the time is about to hit somebody head on or over correcting and about to go into a deep ditch. Scary.
Today’s Quote:
It is a bad sign when the people of a country stop identifying themselves with the country and start identifying with a group. A racial group. Or a religion. Or a language. Anything, as long as it isn’t the whole population.

Matt Stoller asks, why is Google still in one piece? It seems like spineless waffling has set in and nobody has the guts to force a breakup of Google. Both the search and ad portions of Google should be broken up: Chrome, Android, search, ads, payola for search, they all should be broken up. Now.
Good morning. Nothing better than that first cup of coffee in the morning.
Musk ruined XTwitter, only Morlocks like it now. DOGE, Tesla, space company, boring company all in trouble or going nowhere fast. He’s self destructing.
MAGA caps are made in China, the Trump Bible was printed in China, Trump’s new cellphone is made in China. Trump sure likes Made in China when his profit margin is on the line.
I hope the US does not get involved in a war with Iran in any way.

Good morning. Drinking coffee and wondering what to do for breakfast.
Dear Leader Trump’s admin is threatening to withhold infrastructure money to states that don’t like his immigration policies. Meanwhile ICE isn’t raiding any Trump properties of big corp packing plants.
Today’s Quote:
[T]here seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States had become a place where entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance.

Good morning. Coffee.
ICE is running out of money to operate. The no free lunch rule still holds. Reports are Trump has fled the G7 conference back to Wash DC. I’m not clear why.
Israel and Iran continue to bomb each other. I hope the US stays out of it.
Donald is in Canada for the G7 meeting. So far Trump hasn’t started a war and they haven’t, politely, frog marched him to the border and thrown him out. But it’s early hours yet. I think all the G7 leaders plan to ignore what he says as demented, unfiltered garbage.

Never attempt to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and annoys the pig.

Good morning. I opened a new bag of coffee: Aldi house brand dark french roast, which is my favorite.
Trump’s parade didn’t pan out. Now he’s angry and threatening the major cities that had No Kings marches with more ICE raids. Petty, but what did you expect?
Today’s Quote:
Wolfe scowled at her. I could see he was torn with conflicting emotions. A female in his kitchen was an outrage. A woman criticizing his or Fritz’s cooking was an insult. But corned beef hash was one of life’s toughest problems, never yet solved by anyone.

Good morning. Coffee, of course. Breakfast will be something eggy.
The No Kings demonstrations were far bigger than I expected. Peaceful. Thank you to those who marched.
Added to directory: No Kings TV Track protest coverage from verified local news sources in 20 US metro areas
No Kings.

Somebody should make a movie, “Attack of the Giant Brain Eating Amoebas.”
Good morning. As usual, coffee. 1st breakfast TBD.
Trump lavish $45M birthday parade today.
I just checked and No Kings events seem to be happening, locally all around me. I was surprised at so many. You can check for one near you at:
Notice: ICE isn’t raiding any tacky Trump hotels, casinos, golf courses - all very low pay, manpower intensive businesses.
We’ve gone from trickle-down fascism to gushing, overflow, flooding fascism.
