And just when you think you've seen it all...  fairly sure that the Secret service will likely nix it being on the actual Whitehouse grounds thou...

 

 

 

"DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — President Donald Trump said Thursday that he’s thinking of staging a UFC match on the White House grounds with upwards 20,000 spectators to celebrate 250 years of American independence.

 

“We have a lot of land there,” said Trump, a UFC enthusiast who has attended several of its mixed martial arts matches in recent months and is close friends with Dana White, the league’s president."

The women’s perfume smells like vanilla and gardenia with a “light gourmand strawberry touch.”

 

So now you know.  😉

The Washington Post - 6 ways Trump’s tax bill could shape the battle for control of Congress

 

03 July 2025

 

The bill is deeply unpopular, but Republicans still have an opportunity to influence public perception because many Americans know little about it.

 

(headings only)

 

 

     

  1. Increasing heat on GOP members in districts with big Medicaid populations

  2. The Elon factor  [starting a third major political party?]

  3. Promises made, promises kept?  [no tax deduction for low-income seniors]

  4. A key win for GOP lawmakers in New York and California  [Federal tax deduction]

  5. Senate races in 2026 and 2028  [vulnerable Senate Republicans]

  6. Vance as [tax bill] tiebreaker and [Presidential] GOP contender for 2028

He is a marketing genius, I will give him that. To sell something that will harm many Americans, market it. It will be great, in fact it will be more than great, this is the new America. Many people will suck that up unknowingly. If you hear that Acme Inc is awesome, often enough, its awesome.

The Guardian - Trump is waging war against the media - and winning

 

05 July 2025

 


Bernie Sanders, the venerable democratic socialist senator from Vermont, was not in a mood to pull punches.

 

Trump is undermining our democracy and rapidly moving us towards authoritarianism, and the billionaires who care more about their stock portfolios than our democracy are helping him do it,” he fumed in a statement last week. ...

 

The reason for his ire was highly specific: a deal struck by Paramount, the corporate parent of CBS News, to pay Trump $16m in a donation to his presidential library ...

 

The settlement puts an end to the US president’s lawsuit over the network’s editing of an interview on 60 Minutes, the flagship CBS news magazine show, with then vice-president Kamala Harris during the 2024 election. Trump claimed - without any serious evidence - that the edit of the interview betrayed bias against him.

 

60 Minutes journalists countered - and nearly all other observers agreed - that it was just standard editing, common to all major interview segments.

 

So then why settle?

 

The key may lie with the fact that the super-wealthy Redstone family, which owns Paramount, is seeking to gain approval from Trump administration regulators for an $8bn deal to sell Paramount to the movie studio Skydance - a deal in which they stand to profit by $2.4bn ...

I'm beginning to understand what triggers revolutions.

 

A regime may become vulnerable to revolution due to a recent military defeat, or economic chaos, or an affront to national pride and identity, or persistent repression and corruption. Wikipedia
