Last March, the president said “the world needs us to have Greenland” and the vice-president hurried up to emphasize our determination. But the new National Security Strategy doesn’t mention Greenland once. Was the president just offgassing nine months ago, are we sneaking up on them, or what?

I guess the BBC has to apologize and fire some editors because their coverage didn’t include the fact that there many other women in Bergdorf Goodman that day whom Trump did NOT sexually assault. BBC, we need you…stand up!

When they say “Department of WAR” does that mean “Wins Above Replacement”, that is, how much better we are than the average AAA-minor league country? Or what, exactly?

Time to change the Great Seal again — In 1949 when the DoD was created, the eagle’s beak was turned so it faced the side on which it was clutching an olive branch, instead of the arrows. Switch back? Or replace olive branch with a fistful of dollars?

The Executive Order renaming the Dept of Defense is going to allow the use of “Dept of War” as a “secondary title” that officials can use on their stationery, business cards, etc. — very butch! Perhaps a similar compromise for the Gulf of America? Anything else we need secondary titles for?

At long last, have you no sense of decency? Well, how about irony? Being accused of a false statement on one financial document makes someone ineligible for serving on the Fed, but being convicted of 34 felony counts of false statements is just fine for a President?

Check out the Declaration of Independence: “He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither….” This refers to George III, ie the Bad King.

Does anyone else find it odd that the president has started appending to his important truths "Thank you for your attention to this matter"? Did he see that on a letter from his dentist's office or local utility company asking him to pay his bill, and think it made it sound more official?

OMG — insurrection in LA!! Send the Marines!!! Also, forget about the trillions being added to the federal debt and Medicaid cuts, also Ukraine and Gaza, and pointless tariff wars — those are from a previous news cycle; probably been solved somehow. We got new stuff to argue about now

NIH doesn’t just give money to Harvard or Johns Hopkins because they like Harvard or approve of their fight song or think they tend to have the right political views. It’s a year-by-year conditional award to do specified research deemed to be in the national interest.

FWIW - NIH grants are made after a very competitive process to the top-scoring applications in scientific fields in which the NIH has previously published a request for more research.

The Trump Tariff Show has too many plot twists and bizarre subplots. They should start each episode with a “Previously on…” sequence.

No one on the “Houthi Small Group” even inquired whether the attacks were designed to minimize civilian deaths. Clearly no one even pretends to care. If we allow this to continue, it is our fault. Sin, actually, in my religious tradition ( Catholic)

“Hell yes, of course, count on us” — John Sheardown, Canadian diplomat in Iran, 1980, taking in Americans to hide them in his home, at great personal risk, for over 2 months till they could get out safely. If we want friends when we need them, we should be friends when we think we don’t need them.

Highlights from my accomplishments email this week:
Read almost all of A Short History of Canada by Desmond Morton...highly recommended. Appears that every time we send troops into their country, they shoot back, since even before they were a country. Let's tread lightly!
Wordle: all seven days!
