And I suspect that before this over, most all of the South Lawn will have been paved over, which will give Trump even more space to hold outdoor 'events' including UFC fights and anything else that he might deem appropriate for his new concept of the Executive Mansion. If he really wants to make the White House feel like one of his resorts, I don't know why he doesn't just tear up all ot White House grounds and put in a golf course.

And Trump never even showed as he was too busy getting in a round of golf at one of his resorts at taxpayer expense, which included renting golf carts to the Secret Service and charging green fees for any of them who where present on the course, whether they were playing golf or not.

But they did play a video of Trump reciting a passage from the Bible. However, the White House didn't take the time to record a message just for the event, but rather recycled the same video that he taped from the Oval Office last month for the Bible reading marathon that he 'participated' in.

Note that our oldest son, when he was in Army infantry boot camp in 1989, was taught how to use a bayonet as an offensive weapon.

More of your tax dollars at work...

Yes, a slush fund from which Trump will hand out taxpayer's money to convicted felons and disbarred lawyers...

Ironically, Alex Haley grew up in Tennessee...

If this report is accurate, it could be more aircraft than what Iran has lost during Trump's 'skirmish'.

OCU

With all of his claimed knowledge of the Bible, didn't Trump ever come across the part about the 'Golden Calf'?

And all you have to do to get rid of the evidence is drop it into the mail.

Put a couple fake addresses on the package and it'll up in the dead letter office after they're unable to deliver it or return it to sender.

This represents nearly $60 million having been paid to the Trump family with nothing to show for it.

The great 'business man' is losing his shirt on his own company, which I guess is why he needs to grift the rest of the country to make ends meet.

What could possibly go wrong...

Is 'pausing' now going to be a new word for 'capitulation'...

OCU

This could set a horrible precedent...

I guess no matter how stealthy a fighter is, it doesn't help if they get destroyed while sitting on the ground.

Just the next payment that Trump owed Putin from their backroom deal. After all, he's already halted aid to Ukraine. There's not much left except the total dissolution of NATO, which I suspect will happen as we get closer to the end of Trump's term of office.

We got Bibi, Jewish Nationalist. We got Iran, Islamic Nationalists. And we got Kegsbreth, Christian Nationalist.

Sure sounds like a 'Holy War' to me...

Years ago, when my wife and I were still working and we didn't have the luxury of extra days to travel, we used to fly Spirit as they had a red-eye between LAX and Detroit. That was also back when you didn't have to pay for a soda or for putting bags in the overhead. It was still considered a no frills airline, but it was still at least closer to what you'd come to expect when flying. Besides, they were flying mostly MD-80's back then and since I used to work for McDonnell Douglas, it felt better, like I was supporting the company that was going to be paying me a pension some day, which they are, just that now the name on the 'check' is Boeing.

OCU

The evidence Trump wanted this brand new "assassination attempt" as a ruse to fast track his ballroom simply increases.

Our president is a psychopath who governs accordingly.

I suspect that he's trying to get it finished before he leaves office, which if it wasn't, it would be a big embarrassment for him, and besides, perhaps his diminishing influence and the likelihood that he's going to lose Congress in November, to say nothing of potential cost overruns, that his 'donors' are starting to have second thoughts about what it is that their money is actually buying, so he's now going to need the taxpayers to foot the bill.

Could Thomas Crook, the Butler, PA shooter, have been programmed to carry out his actions that day. Short answer: yes.

And what exactly does 'despisable' mean?

OCU

From what I've heard and read, the intruder was NOT armed. They were shot after they attempted to pass through a security line without having proper ID. This took place outside of the ballroom at the security perimeter. It's reported that there was some shouting taking place just before the shots were fired.

The last word is that they're going to try and resume the program. Whether Trump and his people will be returning, there's no confirmation of that at the moment.

OCU

The House of Representatives is so supposed to REPRESENT the people of America. It would help if it actually LOOKED like America.

OCU

It's reported that someone tried to 'crash' the White House Correspondence Dinner and they were shot and killed by security. Trump and his people were evacuated and the remainder of the attendees are being held in the ballroom. There are armed uniformed officers in the room keeping everyone from leaving.

The last time I filled-up was April 9th and I paid $5.399 for regular at our local COSTCO. According to their app, if I were to fill-up today, it would cost $5.359.

For the record, I live in Southern California, and at the name brand stations, like Chevron, the gas there is over $6 a gallon.
