Good Morning, America!
Were just talking about Shaft.
Time to dim the lights for the day.
Sweet Dreams, America!
See you at dawn.
What if they threw a Nazi rally and nobody came?
“So to be honest with you, the numbers — when we did that convention — it dropped our numbers. Everybody’s numbers dropped. Right now, yeah, not good…”
U.S. out of Iraq…again.
Not getting much play is the difficulty the U.S. would have faced if it tried to stay on. It was less political - although that is real - and more logistical, with critical American bases in Kuwait and Bahrain still recovering from Iranian attacks.

Sun is rising.
Coffee is hot.
Time to hit the road.
Good Morning, America!
Welcome to a “Too Tall Xi” edition of the MAGA Minute!
Today, 6’3” elite athlete Trump stands eye to eye with 5’10” Xi.
Editor’s Note: We are standing by for a WH statement announcing tariffs on China because of Xi under reporting his height.
A bit to unpack with this, for instance “MAGA GOP” only make up about 32% of voters.
But the big thing is that it cuts the legs out of Reps who are now trying to distance themselves from him.
We didn’t vote for Trump…but you sure as hell did…and we won’t forget.
Any connection between this and Hegseth and Trump gutting federal cybersecurity offices is surely coincidental…

The sun is up.
The coffee of made.
