The two people who are breaking through the noise and cutting through to the essence of what is happening right now with deeply damaged Donald Trump are Jon Ossoff and Hunter Biden. Here is Hunter's very perceptive take on the messy scene at the White House Correspondents Dinner:

Why are all new cars so hideously unintuitive? Forget electric vehicles. Electric schmelectric. My next car money will go to the manufacturer that brings back physical knobs, car door handles, and a gear shift. Make cars… cars again. I don’t want to drive a tablet.

Virtually every country in the world *except* for the US is responding to the Iran War in a rational way -- ie, trying to reduce their reliance in imported fossil fuels.
How the Iran War Is Driving Demand for Clean Energy
For decades, the case for clean energy was rooted primarily in climate policy. Today, it is just as much about geopolitics.

This comes as I wake up to smelly, smoky air the past two days. Air pollution from wildfire smoke caused nearly 164,000 deaths in the 15 years leading up to 2020, and approximately 15,000 of the fatalities were a direct result of climate change. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/16/w...

So far this year we've had: the warmest winter on record in the mountain west, a record-shattering heat wave in Europe, once in a thousand year rainfall and flooding texas and forest fire smoke blanketing the mid west and the north east. Feels like something's going on with the climate!

America didn’t just lose a World Cup match. We lost credibility. A President personally intervened with FIFA over a disciplinary decision and created the appearance that political power could influence the rules of the game. The reputational cost was far greater than the sporting cost.
America is at the point where it hears an open admission to crime, AND NOTHING HAPPENS.
