https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/doge-self-deletes-on-july-4th-the-grand-experiment-fell-apart-long-before-that/ar-AA27d37D?cvid=af78dbb4ffd64e19b72993e70c18087a&ei=9

DOGE claims it saved $215 billion, or $1,335.40 per taxpayer, with its cuts, which included slashing duplicative software licenses, canceling diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, grants as well as ending leases for underused office space. That's a pittance to the federal budget, which is now about $7 trillion each year. The effort faded relatively early too as tech mogul Elon Musk clashed with government officials and left DOGE in May last year.

It launched with a crash and a bang at the start of the orange buffoon's second term, but now Musk says DOGE is going to "self-delete" after achieving...um...? 🤷‍♂️

I'd rather if Trump speech was ruined by the ghost of Jeffrey Epstein emerging from the green slime in the reflecting pool refusing to leave his side

...but bad weather will have to do.

I asked AI: No one has ever said "storms bring luck to whatever the occasion"

Because storms interfere with life, it become shorthand for bad luck, and things going wrong

Storms are seen as divine punishment or wrath of gods throughout most cultures, from far south Maori to far north Norse.

Many cultures treat sudden storms as warnings, from wedding day's bad omen, sailors historically believing storms foretold deaths and disasters.

In rural European folklore, thunder during a funeral meant the deceased was unsettled or cursed.

Even Trump's, expensive yet still vinyl clad, Bible doesn't like storms.

Who knows? Maybe even Zeus’s angry?

I think this is definitely mean Trump's "hardened veterans", the octogenarians, will be going home for their rocking chairs, warm milk, knitting and watching communists threats on Fox news before 40 winks.

================

"Storms bring luck to whatever the occasion. We will wait it out.

I don't care if it's 2:00 O'Clock in the morning, or in one hour from now.

Looks like it is going to pass, they always do.

I will be there no matter what, but the "what" usually turns out to be a good thing.

It's Saturday night [Nope, it'll be Sunday morning the day after July 4th]

LETS HAVE SOME FUN, even if we are out late tonight.

Our great veterans, especially the old timers, many of whom are there, went through hellfire, and it didn't stop them. It's not going to stop us either!

I'm not going to let some rain stop our 250th."

================

It did, and I guess it's Biden's fault also

The Guardian - Trump tries again to delay $5m sexual abuse payout to E Jean Carroll

breaking

Lawyers for Donald Trump have requested more time to pay a $5m civil judgment to magazine columnist E Jean Carroll from 2023, days after the US supreme court declined to hear an appeal.

In a new filing, the president’s attorney said that since his former lead counsel, Justin Smith, took up a position as a federal judge last month (a post he was nominated to by Trump), his new lead counsel, Josh Halpern, needed more time “to become completely familiar with the facts and procedural circumstances” of the case. ...

In a response, Carroll’s attorney, Roberta Kaplan, countered that Trump’s request for an extension “appears to be little more than yet another play for time”.

It's only been 3 years - you can't rush these things ... 🤥

Reuters - Trump gives campaign-style July 4 speech on National Mall for US 250th anniversary

WASHINGTON, July 4 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump marked the 250th anniversary of the United States on Saturday with a campaign-style speech that repeated his calls for new voting restrictions, warned that "communists" could gain ground in the country and cycled through what he touted ‌as his achievements.

After a storm-related delay of nearly two hours, Trump appeared on the National Mall in Washington to deliver a speech that mixed broad appeals to patriotism with pointed attacks on perceived ideological threats at home and abroad.

Fox News was the only US TV network to give live coverage of Trumps speech.
Most of his audience were waiting to see the fireworks.
Trump apparently believes that he is the second coming of George III. 🙄

Trump tweeted his displeasure at the USA player Balogun receiving a red card and being suspended for the next game - he made threats that he'd cancel the World Cup.

Nek Minit:

https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/belgian-fa-reacts-baloguns-card-193500630.html

This Sunday evening, FIFA announced that Folarin Balogun, sent off after a VAR review during the United States’ round-of-16 match against Bosnia and Herzegovina, will ultimately be available for Team USA against Belgium this Monday in the Round of 16!

"Pursuant to article 27 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code, the application of the automatic suspension of American player Folarin Balogun is suspended for a probationary period of one (1) year," the FIFA Disciplinary Committee explained in an official statement published on the governing body's website.

A controversial decision welcomed by the White House on X and by Donald Trump on his social network, Truth.

No shit, Sherlock. The grift continues.

"Nearly 1 million people have lost a total of $3.8 billion after buying President Donald Trump’s $TRUMP memecoin, while Trump made $636 million."

"US President Donald Trump called Fifa president Gianni Infantino and asked him to review the World Cup suspension of USA striker Folarin Balogun, which was reversed by football’s governing body overnight, the New York Times reported"

I have no words for this insanity. What kind of country has a president that intervenes in sports results? It's almost heartbreaking.

gzt: US President Donald Trump called Fifa president Gianni Infantino ...

The NY Times - A Yearslong Effort to Woo Trump Culminates With the World Cup (unlocked link)

09 June 2026

For the past year, FIFA, the governing body of international soccer, has leased an office on the 17th floor of New York’s Trump Tower that has sat all but empty. The rent goes to President Trump’s family business, but soccer officials say the space sits largely idle.

Paying rent to the Trumps was the choice of Gianni Infantino, FIFA’s president, who has made being close to Mr. Trump a top priority.

He has lavished the president with praise, trophies and a medal *. He has made pilgrimages to Mar-a-Lago, the Trump National Doral golf club and even the “Melania” documentary premiere.

It was all in service, Mr. Infantino’s supporters say, of ensuring that the World Cup, which begins this week, goes off without a hitch.

Mr. Trump could disrupt the games in any number of ways. Mr. Infantino, allies say, is handling a volatile president who responds to praise and gifts.

* and don't forget the FIFA Peace Prize! 😇

The Washington Post - The 5-Minute Fix: Trump’s World Cup controversy, explained

today

President Trump is driving a controversy at the World Cup that risks undermining the United States’ success in the tournament so far and could add to a global perception that the nation is embedded in corruption that goes beyond soccer.

Why Trump’s involvement is so controversial

1. Red card decisions are rarely overturned in soccer. And FIFA has never before lifted a red card suspension in a modern-day World Cup.

2. It’s also highly unusual for a head of state to get involved in how the game is played or officiated. “Red cards are not overturned by political phone calls,” Sepp Blatter

3. Trump’s involvement risks undermining any U.S. win in one of the biggest games in American men’s soccer history. “Any support, affinity, or benefit of doubt from rest of world just got thrown out the window,” Alexi Lalas
