Below is Donald Trump’s announcing that, on June 14, 2026, he will be hosting a UFC event, i.e., mixed-martial arts, fought in a cage. There will be 6000 spectators on the White House lawn, and another 9000 on the Ellipse.
Americans who thought they have seen sleaze and lowlife in their government before must admit that this must win some sort of prize.

What Neil deGrasse Tyson (supposedly) said at left isn’t true. The theory of evolution is about 170 years old. Science demonstrated that Earth is approximately 4.55 billion years old in 1956.
There are still people who believe that Noah put two of each species on his ark sometime in the last 6000 years, at time at which God created the Heavens and the Earth as asserted in the book of Genesis.
I once took my son and some friends camping in the High Sierras in Eastern California, and I was chatting with a park ranger about an exhibit that showed that there are trees on Earth far older than 6000 years. I asked her, “Don’t Christians occasionally object that God hadn’t yet created the universe?” “All the time,” she responded. “I change the subject immediately. I’ve gotten very good at this over the years.”
I’ll happily pony up $10,000 if that will put Musk on board to Mars.
Are scientist really testing these wind-powered pumps? No, not unless they lack a high school education in science.
Suppose you want to cool your kitchen. How about opening the door to your refrigerator? You may respond: Oh, I don’t think that would work. But exactly why not?
Cooling things off means using energy taking the heat out of one area and moving it to another. With air conditioning, that means running a system of evaporation and condensation that results in pumping that unwanted heat outside.
In the illustration at left, the heat removed is going back into the atmosphere that will remelt the ice.
Worse, for those who understand the second law of thermodynamics, is the fact that every transformation of energy from one form to another comes with a waste loss, meaning that additional heat goes into melting even more ice.
To answer the question here, sure. Here’s why:
Like all patriotic Americans, I trust President Trump to do what’s good for America, regardless of how it weighs on his own wealth and power.
He’s truly selfless. This constantly becomes more evident. Did you see how he leapt across the Oval Office to perform CPR on the man who had collapsed the other day?
He’s doubtless the best president we’ve ever had, certainly better than “Washed up Washington” and “Assassinated Abe Lincoln.”
He claims that America is the only country on Earth that allows mail-in voting, which is totally true, outside of several dozen others.
Trump says that mail-in voting will necessarily mean the complete corruption of the U.S. voting apparatus, and God knows that “Honest Don” Trump will put up with none of that.
It appears that Trump supporters have no problem handing over America’s democracy to a dictator.
Never thought I’d see the day.
Yes, we’re a country that’s packed with tens of millions of cruel idiots, but it seems that some of Trump’s most outrageous ideas (like the one expressed at left) may be starting to backfire and unravel his presidency.
Former Bush Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Donald Trump: “I believe Mr. Trump is beyond repair. He is stubbornly uninformed…he is unqualified and unfit to be Commander-in-Chief.”
It sure would have been nice if statements like these, that are as obvious as the nose on your face, could have dominated the public discourse in time to have made a difference.
Also, not to pick nits, but “beyond repair” implies that there was a former state to which the subject could be restored, e.g., “He repaired the damaged automobile.” This is not the case with Trump, who appears to have been a sociopath all his life.
About this now-famous photograph at left, a woman wrote: “Imagine. More than 77 million gullible fools.”
I’m afraid I have some bad news for you, lady. “Gullible fools” isn’t the half of it. These are 77 million people who are (generally) cruel, meanspirited racists.
That’s the real tragedy here, i.e., learning that we live among some truly horrible people.
I believe, however, that the fever may be starting to break. This hasn’t been a good couple of days for Trump.
Trump flip-flops? Who cares? Anyone who believes a single word coming out of his mouth is an idiot.
