Skeets Of The Day

 

The Epstein-Trump files / stick it to Blanche! --

 

To be clear: As I say in the post, I don't think Trump fired Bondi to prevent sharing NM files. But I do think the NM files can be a politically damaging point of pressure for Blanche in this week's hearing.

Operation Epic Fail / "diplomacy" threatened 😏--

BREAKING: The U.S. and Iran each asserted Monday they controlled the Strait of Hormuz after a weekend of attacks stretching across the wider Middle East, further threatening any diplomacy to end the war.

 Despicable Trump --

Trump approved disaster aid requests from six red states last week. Two days later, he rejected aid requests from four blue states. Not only is he punishing states who didn’t vote for him, he’s playing politics with people’s lives. Despicable.

I cannot emphasize this enough: At ICE, incompetence is the point. That's why Miller and Trump picked a jackass like Mullin to run the place. www.salon.com/2026/07/13/n...

Lindsey Graham and the rot of modern conservatism --

 

New in PN: Lindsey Graham and the rot of modern conservatism "Graham died a coward. From Gingrich to Trump, he embodied the movement-to-racket transformation of the GOP. Has America ever seen a capitulation so self-abnegating as his conversion from snarling Trump critic into swooning cheerleader?"

A key part of Lindsey Graham's legacy: when he called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/12/u...

... and how way too many media and Dems are treating his demise --

Deeply saddened to learn of the loss of my dear friend Satan, the Prince of Lies. Though we often disagreed about matters such as the appropriate role of torture in the afterlife, I will most remember how his quick wit and affable nature made our weekly golf outings a ritual. He will be missed.
