Flu is thus yet another nightmare for Hegseth and his ilk. It’s a completely DEI disease, utterly diverse and equitable and inclusive in how it goes about spreading itself from one person to another. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/hegseth-an...

Yaaaaay, algae! Go forth, happy pond scum, and multiply! luciantruscott.substack.com/p/trump-has-...

The algae and floating bottom paint are now a tourist attraction with people arriving just to witness the neon green color of the reflecting pool. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/swath-of-p...

Algae, if you bothered to look it up, is about 50 times more efficient at removing CO₂ from the atmosphere than trees. Days after Trump’s pool guy painted the reflecting pool – not weeks, days – algae moved in and turned it bright green. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/donald-tru...

We are our tragedies. We are our joys. We are hopes. We are our regrets. The way to live another 250 years of our history is not to rest on laurels of the past but to act to achieve a future that will be ours only if we earn it. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/my-part-of...

There are no excuses for the fights themselves and no excuses for those who graced yet another display of Donald Trump’s foul pursuit of the worship of those who allow themselves to be dominated by him. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/nothing-on...

Not one country at the G-7 responded to Trump’s entreaties to help with his war on Iran. He is not meeting with allies. They are unwilling pallbearers at his funeral. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/loser

I know the gift that Donald Trump is giving the world today: A much, much more dangerous world than existed four months ago. There is new economic danger, new conventional military danger, and new danger of nuclear proliferation. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/the-new-ru...

The Kennedy Center was apparently the proverbial last straw, at least so far. The message of the dangling diaper seems to be, if my name can’t be seen, then his can’t be either. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/colossal-l...

The only thing we can count on is that Donald Trump and his sycophants will continue their campaign to desecrate everything in Washington D.C. and elsewhere until a new Congress is elected that will do its duty and stand up for the American people. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/win-some-l...

They say memories come to you for a reason. I don’t know if that’s true, but it should be. What I’ve found myself thinking about lately is the night I found the body of a man floating in the Hudson River. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/shaking-ha...

Tick-tock, tick-tock. Two or three days, you gibbering fool? Nobody believes a word you say, especially not the Iranian leadership you need to agree to end your war. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/what-if-tr...

It doesn’t matter if what’s good for Donald Trump is also good for America. What’s good for Donald Trump is good for Donald Trump, and to hell with the rest of it. That is now the foreign policy of the United States in a single sentence. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/allies-and...

They were quite a pair, weren’t they? One of Manhattan’s meanest, angriest, most humorless and self-hating denizens, Roy Cohn, mentoring his deputy-dog, the mean, angry, humorless, self-hating real estate heir from Queens, Donald Trump. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/has-the-ro...

Piece by piece, he is changing our nation’s capital into a suburban strip mall. Ready the dozers and jackhammers. 2028 will be here sooner than we think. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/hurtin-for...

Capitalism will have the final say. Eventually, the Ellisons will tire of the CBS red ink and try to sell it. By that time, it will be like trying to unload a Trump crypto coin on Ebay. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/60-minutes...

Don’t watch the pea under the cups, folks. Watch the man running the three-card-monte game in the Oval Office of the White House. He’s been shoving public money in his pockets since Inauguration Day, and he’ll keep doing it until he leaves office. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/dont-celeb...

It’s absurd for Trump to demand that Iran is never to have nukes. Iran is going to get nukes, and just like India and Pakistan having nukes as they face off across a border of permanent acrimony and hate, the world will go on. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/iran-will-...

Well, at least a judge has ordered Trump’s name off the Kennedy Center. Trump wants his name on everything. Maybe Iran will agree to rename the Strait after him as a sop to his Mount Everest size ego. How does “The Strait of Just Resting His Eyes” sound? luciantruscott.substack.com/p/fumbling-m...

E. Jean Carroll is as fearless as Trump is evil and his DOJ is incompetent and corrupt. Hopefully, justice will prevail for her. In the meantime, she deserves all the support and appreciation we can send her way. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/nightmare

The real question right now is how bad is the collapse of his physical and mental health? With no one in the White House and no one in Congress who is willing to risk telling him no about anything, how far down will his spiral go? luciantruscott.substack.com/p/trump-is-s...

We are not a broken country. We are a country with problems, some of whose citizens believed electing a charlatan would help to solve them, but we’ve done that before, and we’ve done it in much the same stupid way. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/we-are-not...

On this Memorial Day, I remember the two soldiers who died from drugs under my command at Fort Carson, Colorado. I honor their service. They didn’t deserve to die the way they did. I’m sorry that I was unable to keep them alive. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/my-own-pri...

What was it the hippies used to say? What goes around, comes around? Todd Blanche should read the history of the Chicago Seven. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/broadway-s...

Until then, we have a gangster in the White House and he’s going to steal all the money he can to give it away to fellow criminals and build monuments to himself. That’s where we are, folks. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/boom

How long before Trump renames the big obelisk on the Mall as the “Donald Trump Washington Monument?” When he starts making tourists pay him money to visit it, I’d bet. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/crime-boss...

It needs to be said that this country is in more trouble than it has ever been in. It can be saved by people of goodwill, but the question is, are there enough of them? luciantruscott.substack.com/p/things-tha...

If you think Russia wanted Trump in the last three elections, just wait until you see how badly China wants someone new in the next one. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/trump-and-...

The worst job in the world right now is being Trump's advance person. There is simply no good way to handle a person as erratic and damaged and mentally challenged as the current President of the United States. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/trump-is-i...

The people who were sent to separate schools and given hand-me-down textbooks that had been used in previous years at all-White schools were Black. Justice Roberts doesn’t want us to forget that history. He wants to shove it down our throats. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/its-not-re...

Every world leader knows that the way to get to Trump is to pay him off. The Swiss gave him a gold bar and a Rolex desk clock. Qatar infamously gave him a gold plated 747. The script is flipped: Trump will pay Iranians to get the Strait of Hormuz open. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/get-out-th...

Let’s put it this way: when you’re fighting a country with a GDP that is a tenth the size of yours, not to mention a landmass dwarfed by your own, you’re not doing too good on the battlefield if your casualties are more than twice those of your enemy. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/putin-is-m...

Upon seeing the crystal football given to him by Marco Rubio, Pope Leo, who is from Chicago and is known to be a fan of the baseball team, the White Socks, looked blankly at our Secretary of State and said, “Wow. Okay.” luciantruscott.substack.com/p/memo-from-...

It would seem that it would be one or the other with Iran’s nuclear capabilities, but it’s neither, because he just makes it up as he goes along – they have nuclear dust, or we destroyed it, he doesn’t care. It’s all meat for MAGA to him. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/i-took-a-s...

If you’re voyaging on a cruise ship this summer, make sure to look around the house for your old COVID masks. You might need them. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/hanta-schm...

This country elected a sex-criminal as president who appointed a sexual abuser to be in charge of the U.S. military. They started a war that they cannot win. We are getting exactly what our fellow Americans in the Republican Party voted for. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/the-strait...

Trump and Hegseth can’t stop this war. They love it too much. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/war-is-bre...

The whole world is watching our demented and insane president brag over and over that he has been officially tested three times by real doctors, and he passed because he can tell the difference between a bear and a giraffe. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/golf-cheat...

Trump will probably order new bombing so he can feel better for a while, and then he’ll go back to whining on Truth Social about how mean Jimmy Kimmel is to him on late night TV. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/war-is-hel...

Slavery was ended 161 years ago, but white supremacy is alive and well in the Supreme Court of the United States and in the Republican Party which put six of its members on its bench. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/go-sit-dow...

From Axios tonight: Trump is seriously considering resuming major combat operations either to try to break the logjam in negotiations or to deliver a final blow before ending the war. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/the-fears-...

He just said that Iran’s, or Ukraine’s, or somebody’s anti-aircraft apparatus “will be” knocked out in the first 15 minutes. He’s telling secrets right there in the Oval Office. You read it here first: Iran will be bombed again, and soon. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/trump-has-...

I don’t know what’s going to happen to this country with this unstable, disturbed man as president until 2029. My head hurts. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/my-head-hu...

One day we’ll wake up from this bad dream, and we’ll look around and see if there’s anything left. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/we-go-to-s...

Trump has a blowout in the midterms on his mind, and he doesn’t want to be thinking about a drunk Kash Patel. So bye-bye, 99 beers guy. I’m sure they’ll save a place for you at the bar in the Poodle Room. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/say-bye-by...

They should change the name of the White House Correspondents Association to the “Please, sir, may I have another” club and issue members little paddle-shaped pins they can wear on their lapels and dresses. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/the-night-...
