EACH DELAY HAS BEEN ON A "TACO TUESDAY." Trump Says He’s Postponing New Iran Attack,... he is calling off a plan to attack Iran on Tuesday after the heads of three regional powers in the Middle East asked him to “hold off,” CNBC reports. #politics #iranwar #tacotuesday

NYT: “[G]enerational wealth, 20-acre Mar-a-Lago estate, and lucrative family businesses, Trump is not an ordinary American...in recent weeks, Mr. Trump’s actions and words have opened him up to accusations that he is either out of touch or indifferent to everyday Americans.”

WHEN I SAID THIS WAS HAPPENING, PEOPLE LAUGHED AND SAID I WAS STUPID. Trump’s Flavored Vape Push Sparks Backlash “The Trump administration’s recent moves to make flavored e-cigarettes and vapes more widely available have caused MAHA splintering...” NBC News reports.

When these two headlines are in the same news feed, SOMETHING IS WRONG. "Trump Says James Talarico Is ‘Weird’ and ‘a Vegan’" and "Politics Is So Broken It’s Driving People Into Therapy." #politics #culture

JUST STUDY FOR THE EXAM! CNN: “Students attempting to access grades, study materials, and quizzes were met with a message from a hacking group on Thursday...Universities and school systems reported a ransom note on the school's Canvas homepage." #cyberattack #hackers #education

WELCOME TO MY DAY. A cybersecurity breach at Instructure, the Canvas learning management system used across higher education institutions, grew into a widespread outage as a hacker group claims it stole hundreds of millions of records tied to students and employees at roughly 9,000 schools.

Yup, from these folks. Know any of them? "The Supreme Court dropped a bombshell today (April 27, 2026), handing down a 6-3 ruling in Louisiana v. Callais that effectively neutered Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act..."

MOVING TACO TUESDAY TO MONDAY, APRIL 6. Trump announced yesterday that he is delaying the deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face the destruction of its power plants. On Truth Social, he says ongoing talks now push the deadline to April 6. #tacotuesday #globalnews

AS I WAS CRAVING A "TACO" OVER THE WEEKEND, THIS HAPPENED. "Trump on Saturday threatened to 'obliterate' Iran’s power plants if it doesn’t reopen the Strait of Hormuz within the next two days. However, early Monday, he changed his tune." I WAS AHEAD OF THE CURVE AND PRESS. BUT WHO LISTENS TO ME?

NO COMMENT, The Smithsonian just installed these two larger-than-life bronze bison outside the Natural History Museum — permanent sculptures by renowned paleo-artist Gary Staab.

“The continent was predestined to be the inheritance of their children and their children’s children.” For “in the interests of mankind” and “civilization,” it was “all-important” that North America be won by such a “masterful people.” The Winning of the West, Theodore Roosevelt.
