Summary of Trump’s speech to the UN today: 1. Your countries all suck. 2. None of you know what you are doing. 3. The US is better at everything. 4. All because of me. 5. I’m right about everything. 6. You should listen to me & do what I say. 7. And give me lots of awards.

Politico on firing of US atty Seibert: “Bondi and deputy AG Todd Blanche “lobbied hard to keep Mr. Siebert in place, arguing that he had been an efficient and cooperative partner on immigration and crime enforcement,” NYT’s Alan Feuer and colleagues report.” 1/2

To mark National POW/MIA Recognition Day, the Defense Department announced Friday it has identified the missing remains of Capt. Willibald C. Bianchi, a Medal of Honor recipient who was killed in the Philippines in 1945 while a prisoner of war. (from @wyattwolson.bsky.social)

Democratic congressional leaders and about 100 other House Democrats have voted in favor of a resolution honoring Charlie Kirk as a “courageous American patriot ... who boldly lived out his faith with conviction, courage, and compassion.” The measure passed, 310 to 58. WTF?

That didn’t take long. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

“They’re giving me all this bad press, and they’re getting a license,” the president said. “I would think maybe their license should be taken away.” www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Kash Patel told Congress it will take 14 years to recruit and train enough agents to replace the 5,000 he has fired. So we’re all more vulnerable to a terror attack until around 2040.

Excellent reporting by ABC News on the cratering DOJ investigation of NY AG Letitia James. abcnews.go.com/US/trump-off...

Agitating for civil war. Actor James Woods wrote: “Dear leftists: we can have a conversation or a civil war. One more shot from your side and you will not get this choice again.” Elon Musk: “If they won’t leave us in peace, then our choice is fight or die,” he wrote

Since we can’t discuss the Kirk killing, let’s talk about his wife. Does it strike anyone else that she’s overdoing the grieving widow bit? With a fundraising pitch as a chaser?

Trump supporting PA farmers say his immigration raids are wrecking their businesses. “…a multigenerational dairy farm that sold off all its dairy cows because the owner could not find workers and another where a farmer’s job listings have received no responses.” www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Kilmeade apologizes fir saying homeless people should be executed. “I wrongly said they should get lethal injection.I apologize for that extremely callous remark. ..Many homeless people deserve our empathy and compassion.“

The political party who celebrated Paul Pelosi's assault, ignored Melissa Hortman's assassination, laughed at the attempt to kidnap Gov. Whitmer, and cheered as insurrectionists on Jan 6th attempted a violent coup of Congress want you to be ultra respectful about Charlie Kirk

Political figures need to stop holding outdoor rallies. Charlie Kirk knew the dangers. After the attempt on Trump’s life, he discussed it with fellow podcast bro Jack Posobeic. But of course indoor venues cost more which may explain why neither man rented a hall.

Next No Kings Day marches will be in October 18th. Mark your calendars and find out where your closest one will be. We need to send a huge message to these fascists.

Big day in broadcast history. On September 8 in: -1952 CBC launches -1966 Star Trek debuts -1986 Oprah goes national

President Wm. McKinley was assassinated 124 years ago today. He was shaking hands at the Pan American Expo in Buffalo. His secretary feared that an assassination attempt would take place during a visit to the Temple of Music and took it off the schedule twice, but McKinley restored it each time.

To them, DEI means Didn't Earn It. “Podcaster Megyn Kelly claimed that Cook “DEI-ed her way” into the Federal Reserve job, saying, “There have been a lot of Black women who have ascended to these positions on very thin credentials.” -Media Matters

“Trump told them to stop caring about Epstein and his victims, and after some initial resistance, they’ve done it. Instead, the MAGA right’s most prominent figures are focusing on stories the president wants covered in the way he wants them discussed.” www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/don...

So Donald is making the citizenship harder. I saw the test ten years ago when I was working on a public radio report. I thought it was pretty hard. This question, in particular, stumped me. What are the five duties of citizenship? See how you do. I’ll come back later and give you the answers.

This is bad. Only 22,000 jobs created last month. A healthy economy produces 150,000. www.cnn.com/business/liv...

Rick Wilson makes an excellent point in his latest Lincoln Project podcast. If the government can justify a ten percent ownership of Intel because of the CHIPS Act, the government should by now own America’s entire health care industry. Which is an excellent idea even if Rick doesnt think so.

RFK Jr. was hooked on heroin for 14 years. The NIH says this causes: “some deterioration of the brain’s white matter, which may affect decision-making abilities, the ability to regulate behavior, and responses to stressful situations.”

It’s a big day in history. On September 3: -American Revolution ends, 1783, two years after hostilities ceased -Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin (1928) -1939 Britain and France declared war on Germany to retaliate for its invasion of Poland two days earlier

I just wrote President Trump and told him the Nobel Committee deducts 100 points for peacemakers who set the military on his own citizens.

Happy 56th birthday ATM. US debut on September 2nd, 1969, Citibank. But they weren’t widespread until the 1980s. And it was damned inconvenient without them.

Can you believe that fucker said that Lisa Cook “seems to have had an infraction and she can't have an infraction," adding, "We need people that are 100% above board, and it doesn't seem like she was". He was convicted of 34 counts of felony business fraud.

Giuliani crash comes into focus with this AP article. Apparently, the domestic violence incident happened first. Then when RG car was leaving, it was struck while entering the freeway. Both cars heavily damaged per police. apnews.com/article/rudy...

Famous events of September 1. 1666 Great London fire begins. Over a few days it destroyed a large section of the city. 1939 Nazis invaded Poland, starting WW II. 1985 Titanic is found.

This is the NH State Police press release on the Giuliani crash. It could not have happened as he says because the domestic violence incident was on the opposite side of the freeway. www.nhsp.dos.nh.gov/news-and-med...

Ghislaine Maxwell's deposition was not under oath. She was not video taped, which is very unusual for a deposition. And there are many cuts where they stopped the audio tapes so lawyers could confer with her off-the-record. None of that stuff is the way you do a deposition.

Saying you need an AR-15 to hunt is like saying you need dynamite to fish. Stop the nonsense.

We live in a country that is ok with going door to door rounding up brown skinned people but would lose their shit if we went door to door rounding up the instruments that fuel their worst realities of violent crime in the US.
