It’s not the most famous Inaugural but I’ve always had a soft spot for Bill Clinton’s 1993 line, “There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America.”

It’s an appropriate thing to take heart to as we look back on 250 years, and work ahead.

History of the USA:
- King of England imposes taxes
- America declares independence
- Things go well for nearly 250 years
- America elects a moron
- Moron imposes taxes

@rodger Well, Cinderella *was* legit. That's, like, the whole point of the story 🤷

I am officially nominating Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) for the Nobel Peace Prize.

No President in History has ended the same war so many times.

Our Dear Leader has ended the war with Iran at least 38 times by CNN’s count.

No President has ever done this before.

And he is nowhere near finished ending it.

It’s a record worthy of the Nobel committee’s recognition. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Folarin Balogun scores for the USA against Bosnia. Pointed out on @Channel4News yesterday (after the Supreme Court blocked Trump’s attempt to abolish birthright citizenship) that @balogun is the perfect eg of a birthright citizen. His Nigerian Londoner mum over 7 months pregnant and airline said she couldn’t board a flight when he tried - so he was born in Brooklyn.

Finland's population was 3,7 million when we fought 2 wars against 170 million strong Soviet Union.

We are still here, Soviet Union isn't. 💁

As Trump announced his whimsy war in Iran, I was reading about an ancient imperial campaign against an Iranian people. I found a perspective on the wars of today, & a sense of why, beyond his obvious incompetence in military matters, Trump had to lose his

Yesterday I posted that I am against the new Texas law requiring the Bible to be taught in public schools. I got a lot agreement, quite a few angry responses, and some genuine questions about why a Christian pastor would be against state-mandated Bible study.

So, I decided to write an article about it. I hope it’s helpful.

Let me tell you what just got reported, because you will not believe it until you see it laid out.

The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan. Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing.

Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20% stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees.

The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in.

Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal.

The reporting found one or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on critical mining deals.

The total federal funding flowing toward those companies tops $8.9 billion.

This is your tax money.

It is supposed to secure our supply chains and protect our troops, not pad the portfolios of the President’s children and the Commerce Secretary’s children.

This is the most corrupt administration in American history. It is not close.

We must keep digging, and keep asking the questions they do not want asked. Republicans in Congress are unwilling to lift a finger. Mike Johnson is running a protection racket.

Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.
