Duffy's "great American road trip" wasn't even real road trip! Over 7 months a company (that he should be regulating) paid for him & 9 kids to go to a spot for a few days. No driving at all. Fly into Philly or Boston etc. rent a car, see a few sites. (I'm sure the kids enjoyed the free vacation.)

Trump hasn't thought through making Venezuela 51st state. All ~35million Venezuelans would automatically become US citizens. Eligible for Medicaid & food assistance. Easy! Legal! No long waits, civics tests, language classes required for citizenship. So-called Venezuelan gang members all citizens.

According to @NPR official records show about 22k men were held, at least briefly, at Alligator Alcatraz. It has cost Florida over $1B in operating expenses, not including construction. That's $50k per prisoner, most just there briefly. No wonder FL has no money for its residents.

When Trump makes violent threats, MAGA says, "He's just joking!" When a comedian makes a joke that hurts Trump's feelings, MAGA says, "This is an incitement to violence!"

I find it hilarious that Kash Patel is desperately using lie detectors to find who in the FBI "leaked" accounts of incidents of his drunken behavior, "events which of course never happened!" And hard to explain away his branded bottles of bourbon, which are real.

Scholars in #medieval studies either focus on early Middle Ages up through the 12th century, or late Middle Ages (14th-15th). What happened to the 13th century? cdalebrittain.blogspot.com

Mainstream media (including @NPR ) reports things Trump says that may affect policy, but don't report on all his crazy incoherent blurtings or his unhinged personal attacks. (@MSNOWNews does) Most folks don't realize how thoroughly he's lost it. Come on! Report his dementia!

Finished a very good book. At the end the author thanked her agent for figuring out what she really wanted to say, the editors at the press who prepared a timeline to ensure the events were in the right order, & the book designer. You mean someone can do that for you? says the indie author. #booksky

Trump is visiting The Villages today, a senior facility in Florida. Wait. He's not safe! He's only safe behind bullet-proof glass in a ballroom! He's said so himself! <snort> Plus Florida is full of those highly threatening seashells!

Epstein files are still awaiting release. There's certainly enough that's been seen already that's far worse than seashells or a tasteless joke. But guess Kash Patel has his priorities straight! (not)

Should be obvious to everyone that Putin has kompromat on Trump. Why else will Trump still say nothing against him, when Russia is openly helping Iran fight against us? And now Trump, having abandoned Ukraine, is easing sanctions on Russia, making them richer. Not a hoax, guys.

Trump insists his ballroom must be built for his safety, though he regularly holds rallies, goes to UFC matches, goes to sporting events. No danger there? His current ridiculous motion to dismiss the suit stopping the ballroom reads as if he wrote it himself. DOJ filed just to keep him happy.

Church and state: We take it for granted that different people should be in charge of spiritual matters and worldly things. Did you know this is the "Gelasian" formulation and goes back to the Roman Empire? (Bet Trump doesn't know but Pope Leo does.) cdalebrittain.blogspot.com/2026/04/pope...

The SPLC relies on informants, sometimes paid, as does the FBI. The right, having discovered this, declares a great scandal, calling all the white supremacist MAGAs "antifa" in disguise, So tell me, was Trump fooled? When he pardoned the J6 rioters and told them he loved them he fell for a scam?

"The indictment is a grotesque attempt to recast white people as real victims of racism. In the DOJ’s telling, advocates who spent decades dismantling the Klan are its secret benefactors, 'enriching' themselves by secretly creating racism — something in such short supply it can only be generated."

The candy industry is facing its annual long drought. "Mother's Day candy" has never taken off. They have a good run with Halloween Christmas Valentine's-day Easter, but what then? No wonder Halloween candy appears in the stores in July.

Iran blocked the Strait of Hormuz, as everyone but Trump knew would happen. They said they'd open the Strait if real discussions/negotiations began. Trump decided he'd run a blockade himself. "Take that!" Iran stopped negotiating as everyone but Trump knew would happen.
