Claims she has a button fitted on her belly, and when she gets the nod that he’s asleep she moves her hand and presses a button that wakes him. They’re calling her The Zapper. No idea if it’s true but it *appears* to line up.
The White House was never supposed to be a palace.
George Washington and architect James Hoban deliberately rejected the lavish style of European monarchies. Instead, they designed a President’s House that reflected the ideals of a republic: dignified, restrained, and accountable to the people.
The White House belongs to the American people. Every president is just a temporary tenant.
I have no good memories of Lindsey Graham.
His transformation from a guy who utterly despised trump, his infamous "If we nominate trump" tweet, into trunmp's chief lickspittle and ball washer, was sad.
The disgraceful legacy he leaves behind is of spinelessness, and as a war monger, eager to nuke women and children in Gaza.
That's how I will remember him.
BREAKING: CNN just aired a devastating montage of all the times that Donald Trump accused others of using their public office to make money. Donald Trump's net worth has almost tripled since he took office. Everything he accuses others of is an open admission.
By David Abbruzzes:
This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."
Very well stated.

This is Tyre in South Lebanon today.
Israel is leveling entire civilian neighborhoods in one of the most intense bombardments yet.
One of humanity’s oldest cities.
Is being systematically wiped out.
And not a peep from the complicit international community, of course.
Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend
Jim Schlossnagle walks off the field here at Blue Bell Park with a series opening loss. Texas will look to bounce back tomorrow afternoon in game 2.

Thank you to the seniors who came to Texas A&M in their final year of eligibility, and gave everything they had to laying the foundation of Bucky Ball.

They all deserve to be celebrated.
Bucky McMillan took the time to answer extra questions with local media after we didn't get the chance at the podium. "I know y'all didn't get to ask a lot of questions... but I appreciate you making the trip." Not something many coaches will do after a loss. But this is Bucky.
The Texas A&M baseball team, 1896. Don't you just love the uniforms? The batboy and the coach are fantastic. The player whose face is close to the doorhandle looks like somebody famous, but who? I'm scratching my head trying to figure it out.
