Happy 87th birthday tomorrow to Gary U.S. Bonds, of murky triple-tracked vocals fame on compelling dance tunes like "School Is Out," "New Orleans," and the two songs we're sharing today, 1961's "Quarter To Three," and 1962's "Dear Lady Twist." The saxophonist in Bonds' recordings is Gene Barge (a.k.a., "Daddy G") leader of "The Church Street Five" group which is referenced in Bonds' "Quarter To Three," as is "Daddy G" in The Dovell's "Bristol Stomp." Bonds made a bit of a comeback in the 80's with the help of admirer Bruce Springsteen, who knows a good thing when he hears it. Hope you enjoy.
Following a revolt of MAGAt Senators, the deranged and vindictive Malignant Fascist declared that he wouldn't nominate his unfit hatchet man Bill Pulte to be permanent Director of National Intelligence. However, Pulte will remain as acting DNI until a nominee for the position is confirmed by the Senate, with plenty of time to conduct the MF's retribution campaign in his acting position. From NBC News:
"President Donald Trump said Thursday that his newly appointed acting director of national intelligence, Bill Pulte, will not take up the position permanently.
Trump made the remarks while speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, two days after appointing Pulte to the acting role, a move that prompted pushback from members of his own party.
'It’s an acting position. It’s not permanent,' Trump said. 'I don’t think he’d want to be permanent.'
Republicans criticized Pulte’s appointment to lead the nation’s spy agencies, citing his lack of national security and intelligence experience. [snip]
Still, the president said that Pulte, a Trump loyalist who had used his position as director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency to launch investigations into Trump’s perceived political foes, 'may find out some things about the rigged elections” while he serves as director of national intelligence.'" (our emphasis)
Former Senate majority leader and human - turtle hybrid, the cynical Sen. Mitch McConnell noted that the position requires a person with extensive national security experience, which Pulte lacks:
“Very few Senate-confirmable positions come with statutory eligibility requirements. There are good reasons why the Director of National Intelligence is one of them. Anyone performing this role of such immense public trust must have the extensive national security experience required by statute, and no nominee who falls short of this requirement will earn my vote.”
It's clear that the MF has no concern about someone with national security experience. It's likely that the MF will drag out his "search" for a permanent DNI, while the fanatically loyal Pulte remains acting and picks up the "rigged elections" canard that his disgraced predecessor Tulsi "Kremlin's Girl" Gabbard pursued in places like the Fulton Co., Georgia, board of elections. The Federal Vacancies Reform Act allows an acting political appointee to serve in a position requiring Senate approval for up to 210 days.
Senate Republicans wanted to have it both ways yesterday in a marathon of votes on funding for an immigration "enforcement" bill. That's because it's a party of fascist weasels:
Senate Republicans have defeated the first attempts to kill President Donald Trump’s rioter slush fund with legislation.
The Senate voted against several proposals targeting the “Anti-Weaponization Fund” before passing a $70 billion bill to fund Trump’s immigration crackdown early Friday.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said he’s not surprised Republicans aren’t taking any action against the controversial settlement fund.
“There’s only one rule here: In the end, he gets anything he wants,” Murphy told HuffPost, referring to Trump.
For a few hours on Thursday, it looked like Senate Republicans might actually vote for a motion by Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to send an immigration funding bill back to a committee with instructions to outlaw the slush fund.
What was the fig leaf the Republicans used to remove funding for the MF's golden ballroom/bunker, but not outlaw the slush fund?
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced the settlement last month, then this week said the administration was actually “not moving forward with the fund” thanks in large part to backlash from Republican lawmakers. Blanche’s statement, uttered during a committee hearing, was all Republican senators needed to restart their immigration bill. Even though the president himself this week seemed to think the fund is still alive, some senators used Blanche’s statement to brush off questions.
“It’s a moot point,” Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) told HuffPost. “There is no fund.”
Everyone knows you can always take Epstein class consigliere Blanche's word to the bank (where he's keeping the Epstein-Trump files in a vault!).
What's important is that the cult leader still thinks there's a fund, and there's a $5 billion slush fund in the $70 billion bill that the MF's DHS loyal marionette "Markwaynes World" Mullin controls "at his discretion," so let's see if this turns out to be a cynical workaround to reward insurrectionists who attacked the Capitol and police.
The bill now goes to the even more craven and cultish House.
151 days until the mid-term elections.

Recently, we posted commentary by Paul Krugman, Josh Marshall and Brian Beutler to the effect that America and Democrats can't go back to a status quo ante following the destruction and abnormality of the Malignant Fascist's coup on our democracy. Now, in a similar vein, Jamelle Bouie writes in the New York Effing Times that "America Broke Something When It Gave Trump A Second Chance":
... “Broken eggs can never be mended,” he [Abraham Lincoln] wrote in reference to the fate of slavery as the war carried on, “and the longer the breaking proceeds the more will be broken.”
Fort Sumter broke the Union and with it, slavery. Whatever the nation was or would be in the aftermath of the war, neither the nation nor its Constitution would protect, support or sanction human bondage.
You can think of this Trump administration as a similar state of affairs. The American people broke something when they gave Trump a second chance in office. And there is no going back to the Union as it was. If Democrats hope to lead the nation to any kind of recovery, much less renewal, they must understand and internalize this fact of the matter.
Broken eggs cannot be mended. To try to do so, to try to return to some notion of normality, is to court failure. Worse, it is to play a repeat of the last Democratic administration when, in pursuit of the familiar, the Democratic Party all but passed the baton back to reactionaries working toward something revolutionary.
We share the concern that the embedded establishment Democrats and their consultants currently playing catch-up to the will of the voters will misread what needs to be done, some of which Bouie, et al outline in their commentaries. That can't be allowed to happen, because if a new Democratic administration becomes an exercise in mending broken eggs, it's courting the kind of failure from which America will never recover. We need junkyard dogs, not cosseted schmoozers.
The corrupt and mentally ill Malignant Fascist announced yesterday that he plans to nominate his former criminal defense lawyer, the lawless Todd Blanche for Attorney General. Blanche, now the acting AG, has pushed indictments of the MF's political opponents, devised the corrupt "slush fund" for the January 6 insurrectionists and cop assaulters, and given the MF and his crime family immunity from Federal tax fraud charges. From the Associated Press:
"President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he will nominate Todd Blanche to serve as attorney general, tapping his former personal lawyer who has aggressively pursued the Republican president’s agenda while leading the Justice Department in an acting role.
Trump said at a dinner at the White House that he plans to nominate Blanche formally on Thursday, according to a video of the event posted on social media by a White House aide.
'We are going to make him permanent attorney general,' Trump said at the Rose Garden event.
Blanche sought quickly to position himself as the favorite for the permanent job after Pam Bondi’s firing in April, accelerating investigations into Trump foes and announcing a nearly $1.8 billion fund meant to compensate the president’s allies for alleged political persecution. The proposed fund created a bipartisan firestorm that forced the Justice Department to scrap the idea earlier this week in an extraordinary about-face." (our emphasis)
Blanche was on the receiving end of angry push back from the Senate Republican caucus in a closed door meeting last week on the $1.8 billion insurrectionist slush fund. That indicator, and the fact that he's been evasive and hostile with Congress on his stonewalling of the remaining Epstein Trump files, would suggest that his nomination will be in trouble from the time it's formally presented to the Senate today. As with the MF's noxious placement of unqualified zealot hatchet man Bill Pulte in as Director of National Intelligence, the MF is showing his contempt for the law and "Justice" Department in nominating this corrupt sycophant as Attorney General.

Two late developments yesterday may indicate that there are just enough Republicans who, for varying reasons mostly involving voter wrath, are willing to buck the Malignant Fascist after a long, supine hibernation. First, the Senate.
Trump's Golden Ballroom / Bunker Bust
Senate Republicans have officially ditched an effort to fund President Donald Trump’s ballroom at the White House.
The fate of Trump’s gilded dining hall is now in legal limbo with likely no help coming from Capitol Hill.
Money for the Secret Service and the “East Wing Modernization Project” was omitted from a new version of Republicans’ bill Republicans announced Wednesday to fund immigration enforcement operations at the Department of Homeland Security.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) suggested there’s not much appetite for bringing the ballroom funding back.
“It’s not in here,” Thune told HuffPost, referring to the new bill. “I suspect if there’s something that people want to see get done there, they’d probably go through the appropriations process.”
There’s little chance Trump is getting ballroom money through the appropriations process, which is the normal way Congress writes bills funding government agencies. Regular appropriations bills require 60 votes to clear the Senate, and Republicans control just 53 seats, meaning they’d need at least seven Democrats to go along with a wildly unpopular Trump vanity project. Not much chance of that.
“Thanks to the outrage of the American people and hard-fought challenges by Senate Democrats, Senate Republicans finally gave up on funding Trump’s billionaire ballroom for now,” Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said Wednesday.
The ballroom billion had previously been included in an immigration bill going through a special “budget reconciliation” process that only takes 50 votes. The Senate parliamentarian said the provision couldn’t stay in the bill under the special budget rules. Republicans started reworking the provision, but then gave up and left town in a furor over Trump’s $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund.” [snip]
Trump started the ballroom project last year with the surprise wholesale demolition of the entire East Wing of the White House. He didn’t ask Congress, which has appropriated money for past major upgrades, and he didn’t ask the commissions set up to preserve historic architecture in the nation’s Capitol.
In March, a federal judge has said construction can’t continue unless Congress approves it, such as by appropriating funds, which is likely why the ballroom money suddenly appeared in the previous immigration bill. The next hearing in the case is on Friday. In the meantime, Trump has fumed from the sidelines, accusing the judge of jeopardizing security for all of America...
If, somehow, construction of the MF's golden ballroom / bunker continues despite these efforts, it must be among the first tasks of any Democratic administration to tear it down and restore to their previous state the East Wing and other public areas that he's vandalized.
The House for the first time Wednesday approved a war powers resolution that would halt the U.S. military action against Iran, defying President Donald Trump as a handful of Republicans [4!] joined with Democrats to end the three-month-long conflict that has reordered politics at home and abroad.
House Speaker Mike Johnson had tried to prevent an outcome that would show the mounting opposition to the war, abruptly shutting down floor action two weeks ago when the resolution was on the verge of approval. But displeasure has only grown as the conflict drags on and as Trump struggles to negotiate a plan for peace.
The roll call Wednesday was 215-208, but next steps are uncertain. Trump would likely reject any measure from Congress to limit his commander-in-chief authority. Still, the tally, with four Republicans joining Democrats, was a rebuke of the president’s war strategy, and cheers erupted in the House chamber.
“This reckless and costly war of choice needs to end today,” House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York said earlier in the week.
“All we need are a handful of Republicans to join us and we can end this reckless and costly war of choice — a war that has cost the American taxpayer over $100 billion — that’s extraordinary — and left our country in a weaker position relative to Iran.” [snip]
The war powers resolution from the House would not immediately stop the war, but it would provide a symbolic if not legal step against further military action.
The resolution next goes to the Senate, where four Republican senators last month joined Democrats in advancing a similar measure to curtail the U.S. campaign against Iran. The Senate has yet to take a final vote to approve or reject its own war powers resolution. [snip]
The House is also voting Wednesday on another Democratic-led effort that would authorize U.S. support for Ukraine’s military operations as it battles Russia and to help reconstruct the war-torn country. The House this week is also expected to consider a war powers resolution to block U.S. action in Lebanon. [snip]
Under the war powers act, the White House has a 60-day window to seek approval from Congress for military action. The administration, however, has indicated that because a ceasefire has been declared in the current conflict in Iran, the hostilities have ceased.
The symbolism comes somewhat late, after months of the moron Malignant Fascist's incompetent bungling, soaring gas and commodity prices, a shaken world economy, and America's further isolation. The MF's regime has already declared a war powers resolution moot by virtue of their saying Operation Epic Epstein Fury is over, despite what everyone's lying eyes are telling them.
Next up, perhaps: forcing the immediate removal of ΓΌber hatchetman Bill Pulte as acting as Director of National Intelligence?
UPDATE: Giving it a try.

The always readable and perceptive Nobel laureate Paul Krugman again gives us today's quote, commenting on the sinister appointment of MAGA fanatic and the Malignant Fascist's fiercely loyal hatchet man Bill Pulte to the Director of National Intelligence position. From his Substack post:
"Pulte is a bumbling hatchet man: so far none of his attempted lynchings have succeeded. But for Trump, willingness to engage in unethical behavior is all that matters.
What will Pulte do as America’s senior intelligence official? You might think that even someone like Trump, who has no desire to serve the national interest, who sees wars only as ways to enrich himself and distract from his domestic woes, would want accurate intelligence. After all, if you’re going to wag the dog, you don’t want the dog to bite back the way it has in Iran.
But Trump appears to have given up on governing — even governing aimed at consolidating his own power and legacy. He wants to punish everyone he imagines has wronged him but has lost all interest in making the government work, even for nefarious purposes. So he doesn’t need intelligence, just someone who will indulge his rage. And that will be Pulte’s job." (our emphasis)
Watch as Pulte discovers "domestic terrorism" among Dems and those that oppose his cult leader. His predecessor, the opportunistic Kremlin friend Tulsi Gabbard was bad enough, but we have a feeling we ain't seen nothing yet.
