Had em all the way...

What we used to call “Sunday Christians” all talk no God

Love It! JVL calling Trump's Freedom 250 as thr Trump Frye Festival. With bad planning, groups dropping out AND The Thunder Dome https://www.thebulwark.com/p/trumps-fyre-250-disaster?utm_source=substack&publication_id=87281&post_id=200123455&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&utm_campaign=email-share&triggerShare=true&isFreemail=false&r=45wcm&triedRedirect=true For our semiquincentennial I want Donald Trump on stage ranting like a lunatic. We squandered our inheritance. We should be confronted with our choices. America doesn’t need a celebratory retrospective. We need a mirror.

I’ve seen this a couple of times on social media. Works for me BREAKING: The National Association of Tuba Players is reportedly organizing a group of 200 of their musicians to go to Washington D.C. and blare their instruments during Trump's 250th Anniversary speech.

Bibi is much better at the Art of the Steal

Somebody has been two busy self promoting to actually do a smidgen of research on the founders view of Freedom of Religion. Most of us critical of organized religion support the right to decide who and how to worship, not just blindly follow what the TV and most MAGA Church leaders want us to believe. Basically they hate educated folks

Regarding the Johnstown Flood. Here's a good piece from Heather Cox Richardson https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/may-30-2026

At some of us who know still can't pronounce it

The Evans (I'm still going to call it the North) has never been as busy as the Mac. I haven't spent time there since pre pandemic. I was with the Ambassador Program, I not sure it's still in existence

Straight out of Central Casting...

Isn't this like the second time in recent months someone has slammed into one of DTW's Terminals?

It just seems that the whole vibe this year is meh. Looking from the outside from about 3 years or so ago the individual state committees, outside a few like Virginia and maybe Pennsylvania and Massachusetts nobody seems to know how to tie their story into the history of founding of the nation. Both the good and the ugly That plus SemiQuince Centennial is a weird word. If nothing else living where do for the past half dozen years has given me a bit of perspective on history. Especially since CW is also celebrating its Centennial year,

Soon it's going to be down to Kid Rock, Ted Nugent and Kash Patel's girlfriend...

How does JD Vance feel about this?
