At Least The War Is Over
If Iran sticks with its insistence that any deal involves Israel not bombing Beirut/Lebanon, Israel will violate it instantly.
Iran says 'no point' in US talks after Beirut strike, casting doubt on deal
Are You Suggesting A General Lack Of Respect For Standard Security Protocols
I don’t know if is is true or just an attempt to criminalize leakers, but I do not think anyone should be surprised if Trumpers do not respect protocols.
Top White House officials believe New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan obtained audio recordings of Situation Room meetings for their forthcoming book, "Regime Change."Why it matters: Such a taped leak would be a shocking breach of one of the most secure settings on Earth. Independent recording devices in the Situation Room are forbidden.
Nor do I think journalists should pretend to be surprised.

At Least The War Is Over
It looks like Trump is planning to announce a nonexistent deal with fake details for his birthday bug party.
Cheering For Bugs
You can do it, little guys.
The biggest threat to Donald Trump’s lavish UFC birthday bash may not be a lawsuit, a heatwave, or Americans outraged by the spectacle at the White House.
It might be the bugs.
At Least The War Is Over
More talk of imminent deals, along with more belligerence.
Even I occasionally buy into the idea that "this time" it is real.
I suspect there is no way to make a deal without various hawks and Israel calling him a big loser.

Ah, Well, Nevertheless
It was worth it anyway
The newly renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool seems unable to escape an old haunt: algae blooming in the shallow water.Thin layers of algae floated on the World War II Memorial side of the pool Friday morning, even after workers were seen cleaning out algae from the bottom of the pool Wednesday.
I Can't Believe Trump Went After Someone Who Actually Mattered
If he would do that to me, he would do that to anybody,” Mr. Cornyn said. “There’s never going to be good enough for him, other than 100 percent, you know, slavish adherence to whatever he wants. But obviously that’s not what the senator’s role is supposed to be, especially in terms of checks and balances.”

Long Sleepy Joe
We all know who is to blame - the guy who hasn't been president for 18 months.
The producer price index, a measure of final demand costs, increased a seasonally adjusted 1.1% on the month, putting the 12-month wholesale inflation rate at 6.5%. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for a monthly move of 0.7%.
The annual headline inflation rate was the highest since November 2022. The monthly gain matched the April increase.
As soon as the war is over, everything is going to be great. Let me check on that.. .
Where's My ZIRP
The other part is that Trump I was the great era of relative prosperity AND near zero interest rates and people loved that.
You might have noticed that interest rates did not magically come down due to Mr. Trump's genius policies.
