Reflecting pool renovations

The New York Times reported that in April, the federal government gave a no-bid contract invoking an exemption to competitive bidding intended for urgent situations. Trump wants the project completed for July 4 250th anniversary celebrations.

Apparently it was an urgent situation. How many years notice did they have that the 250th year anniversary would be this year?

Our "allies" are turning... US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth slams New Zealand for ‘freeloading’ on defence[

"US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth slams New Zealand for ~~‘freeloading’ on defence~~ being mostly harmless."

In The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, Ford Prefect updates the Guide: the original entry was simply "Harmless," and after 15 years of research, the editors expand it only to "Mostly harmless."

"Play stupid games, win stupid prizes"

Not mentioned in article, published publicly, included Department of Homeland usernames and password in cleartext.

This was only to be mentioned by third party security firm GitGuardian. For some reason, Russians, Chinese and Iranians stayed quiet to the slipup.

Trump is always outpacing any fiction writers with reality. 🤪

Lawmakers Demand Answers as CISA Tries to Contain Data Leak:
Lawmakers in both houses of Congress are demanding answers from the U.S. Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) after KrebsOnSecurity reported this week that a CISA contractor intentionally published AWS GovCloud keys and a vast trove of other agency secrets on a public GitHub account. The inquiry comes as CISA is still struggling to contain the breach and invalidate the leaked credentials.
...
Sen. Hassan noted that the incident occurred against the backdrop of major disruptions internally at CISA, which lost more than a third of it workforce and almost all of its senior leaders after the Trump administration forced a series of early retirements, buyouts, and resignations across the agency’s various divisions.

First freeloading New Zealanders on defense, now freeloading EV owners ;)

"The Center for American Progress" CAP has an American "Lean Left" or liberal bias, meaning "leans center" for countries that care about citizens.

Proposed Electric Vehicle Fees Would Only Make Life Less Affordable for Americans: CAP

Electric vehicles help shield Americans from volatile gas prices and are already cheaper to maintain and operate than gas-powered cars; yet some members of Congress are seeking to make this technology more expensive through the upcoming surface transportation bill.
...
Electric vehicles (EVs) offer an alternative that reduces costs and avoids exposing Americans to dramatic fluctuations in the price of oil. However, instead of prioritizing this alternative, some members of Congress—on the heels of the Trump administration’s assault on EVs—are pursuing policies that would make EVs more expensive, all in the name of patching a funding hole in the Highway Trust Fund (HTF) that, in reality, has very little to do with EVs.

American owned EVs deliver enormous cost savings

Transportation is the second-highest category of household spending after housing, making up roughly 17 percent of household spending in 2024. Of this spending, almost 20 percent goes toward gasoline.

Speaking of the 250th year celebrations. It's the new $250 dollar note that Trump will have his face on.

250 has special connotations for the Chinese. It means, stupid, foolish, idiot. How appropriate.

AlterNet - Trump’s new cringe ploy to save floundering festival ignites firestorm

30 May 2026

What do you do when you’re a president with a birthday party being abandoned by all the entertainment? If you’re President Donald Trump you offer to fill the hole yourself.

[posted on Truth Social]

“I understand Artists are getting ‘the yips’ having to do with their performance on Wednesday, so I am thinking about bringing the Number One Attraction anywhere in the World, the man who gets much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime, and he does so without a guitar, the man who loves our Country more than anyone else, and the man who some say is the Greatest President in History (THE GOAT!), DONALD J. Trump to take the place of these highly paid, Third Rate ‘Artists,’ and give a major speech, rallying the Country forward like I have done ever since being President!”

“Third rate” artists - which Trump nevertheless saw fit to hire - have flown his Freedom 250 event, many claiming they were lied to about the nature of the celebration ...

Sounding like the only kid to show up at his own birthday party, Trump insisted that his popularity was without peer on Truth Social.

The problem is that these entertainers signed up for a 250th Independence Day party years ago. The committee was disbanded, and instead a MAGAturd commission was put in place. Instead of a 250th Independence Day party, it's now a dictator's birthday bash.

Of course, those entertainers left. They don't want anything to do with this turd.

May be an image of text that says "Trump Gives Iran Final Warning Before Unleashing Ted Nugent & Kid Rock"

Word meanings change over time, examples being both bad and wicked also mean their opposites depending on context.

Additional meaning for presidential

Opposite of regal:

Our baby was presidential this afternoon so we put him in timeout
Uncle Ernie was presidential at the party so we had to leave early
M'lud, although my client did make those unauthorised transactions, he was acting presidentially
