I'm hearing that Fight Night at the White House was organized and funded by the Make-a-Wish Foundation. This was arranged shortly after Trump's most recent "annual" physical exam.

CPB’s use of a laser to shoot at a “drug cartel drone” that was actually just a red balloon near El Paso embodies its failures - poor training and communication, exaggeration of a threat, excessive use of force. The only bright spot was that it didn’t say the balloon was a domestic terrorist.

Congress: Do Your Job!

If he ends the War in Venezuela will had add it to the list of wars he has ended in his bid for the Nobel Peace Prize?

As a businessman, Trump would make contracts and hire people, then break the contracts and not pay the people, then drag things out so long that they would give up. Much of the time, they did. He’s handling the Epstein file release the same way. It won’t work this time, though.

Trump is such a kidder. You knew he was joking when he said he hated his opponent, because right afterwards the drummer did a rimshot (budda-BOOM"), and then Trump said "thank you, ladies and gentlemen, I'll be here all week!) www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Vance claims Trump was kidding about ‘hating’ his political enemies (but he wasn’t)

After the president said he “hates” his political opposition, the vice president said he was “joking.” Recent history proves otherwise.

President Trump says he hates his opponents. Some enterprising reporter should ask him if he hates Putin.

For years we've wondered what it would take for a significant number of Trump supporters to give up on him, or at least start reconsidering their support. We can now add one more item to the "won't" list: A MAGA supporter assassinating a MAGA leader in one of the reddest states in our country.

Interesting juxtaposition of headlines on this afternoon's The Hill website.

My proposed constitutional amendment in celebration of the 4th of July: "The words 'person' and 'people' in this Constitution refer only to human beings." If you disagree, please say why.

Door to the Ace Hardware Store in Crested Butte, CO. I was in the store to buy a flag for the march in nearby Gunnison on Saturday. Thanks, Ace, for supporting this important event.

I'm looking forward to the release of the new opera "Trump Und Musk." It will be composed by AI in the style of Richard Wagner and performed in the original German.

The Oval Office scene of T and V telling Z that he has no cards, while Z was sitting on a bodacious plan to do serious damage to Russia, has become an instant classic, right up there with Neville Chamberlain's "peace in our time" video and Truman holding up the "Dewey Defeats Truman" newspaper.

My friend Auden Schendler is coming to the Alliance Center in Denver on June 10 to discuss his great new book about climate complicity. I'll be there. If you will be in town I encourage you to attend as well. givebutter.com/XndBsw

If Secretary Warm Cookies wants to claim there's a War on Mining he'll have to get in line behind the War on Cars, the War on Christmas, the War on Guns, the War on Straws, the War on Stoves, the War on Shower Heads, etc. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Still, there's no one better than the commander-in-chief to bring Beijing to the negotiation table, Burgum said.

It's official: Trump is a PANICAN.

Tremendous organizing opportunity for the opposition. Line the route with people holding signs saying "We support you, troops, but not your commander in chief." 47 is organizing the event for us; all we have to do is show up. Book your travel to DC now! thehill.com/policy/defen...

Dude has been in office for two months, has produced nothing on his promises to get everything fixed quickly and easily, now says it will take delay and pain, but believes he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, his face on Mt. Rushmore and a third term. I'd like some of the meds he's on for myself.

I'm not sure why President Trump wants "anti-American ideology" removed from the Smithsonian. I thought his entire administration was grounded in anti-American ideology. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I love the sign that the Lutheran church at the corner of our block in Denver has put up.

Trump is canceling federal funding for tree-planting. He seems to have forgotten the executive order he signed in 2020 committing the U.S. to the international "One Trillion Trees" initiative. New mantra: "Rules were made (by me) to be broken (by me)." trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/articles/pre...

Elon has given federal workers a tremendous opportunity to showcase their value. They can create a compelling government-wide portrait of all the great things they are doing. I hope they take full advantage of it! They should be accurate and proud of what they do. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

In view of recent layoffs at the National Park Service and threats to sell off public lands, it may be time to dust off my 1982 article "In Defense of Federal Parks Near Urban Areas" about efforts early in the Reagan Administration to divest federal parks back to the states.

"Sticks and stones may break our bones, but words like "climate change" and "clean energy" will hurt us even more, which is why we are scrubbing them out of the lexicon of the federal government."

When bad guys in action movies take over a building, they disable the guards first and then turn off the cameras. Remind you of anything?

It's usually illegal to put electronic goods in the trash or regular recycling. A great option in Denver is Blue Star Recyclers. Today I brought them a slide projector, a digital scale, accoustic headphones (all broken) and some old VHS tapes. They were able to take all of them. Disposal w/o guilt!

My city could rename my neighborhood park as "Rule of Law Park." It could do the same with its other parks, e.g. "Climate Change Park, Kennedy Center Park, USAID Park," etc. Other cities could follow. All parks would revert automatically to their original names four years from now. Thoughts?
