He’s In ‘Em
As his MAGA coalition is beset by competing conspiracy styles.
Now Trump says they were written
By Obama, Clinton, Comey and Biden.
But there’s a simple reason why Trump won’t release the Epstein files.

Trumpian Soliloquy on Peace
Forsooth, when you consider the deals I’ve made, logic it defies.
Look at what I did for India and Pakistan,
And all I accomplished by bombing Iran.
Alas, cruel world, am I to never get my Nobel Peace Prize?
Trump’s Botched ‘Operation Excalibur’ Assault on LA Park a ‘Laughingstock’
The Trump regime staged another military assault on Los Angeles yesterday, this time targeting historic MacArthur Park. Not coincidentally, the park lies in the Westlake District, which is home predominantly to immigrants from Central America.
The primary, but unstated, objective of the assault, billed as “Operation Excalibur” was to produce deceptive video content for the Fox propaganda channel and its immitators.
Journalist Ken Klippenstein, who covers national security on Substack, spoke with National Guard members off the record and obtained leaked documents about Operation Excalibur, the assault on a park in a US city by the US military and the Trump Department of Homeland Security:
The news media is describing the operation as an ominous crackdown, but National Guard sources tell me that it was a botched laughingstock. The military aspect of the operation, codenamed Operation Excalibur, has not been previously reported.
The documents reveal that the erstwhile justification for the operation was to try to shut down the distribution of fake IDs. The mission of the 1st Squadron, 18th Cavalry is described as protecting DHS [Department of Homeland Security] “security points and blocking positions” while they undertook their assault. The Squadron was ordered not to “restrict pedestrian movement” and not to “conduct law enforcement activities.”) …
The Harshest Truth About Trump’s Big Bill
“This may have been a loss for the American people, but this was a big Trump win. He continues to plow through the norms, institutions, and guardrails of government, and he will use the BBB to accelerate his momentum. … Acknowledging this is not defeatism: it’s a recognition of the challenge ahead.”

U.S. Measles Cases Just Reached a 33-Year High
Measles cases in the U.S. have reached a 33-year high, according to data from the Johns Hopkins University Center for Outbreak Response Innovation (CORI). The center reports that there are now 1,277 confirmed cases across 38 states and the District of Columbia, the highest annual tally since 1992. The U.S. had achieved measles-free status in 2000.
“It’s a harbinger of things to come,” Eric Ball, a leading pediatrician, told the Washington Post. “Once we see a resurgence of measles, we know that other diseases are going to come behind it.”
Even amid a flurry of vaccine disinformation, the rate of MMR (measles, mumps and rubella vaccine) jabs administered in 2019 was at 95% — the rate experts believe curtails outbreaks. It has now slid to below 93%, and outbreaks are occurring in dozens of states. Anti-vaccine messaging and distrust in federal health agencies have contributed to the decline.
Three people have died of measles-related complications this year, while 155 people have been hospitalized. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that just three people died of measles complications between 2001 and 2024.
Everglades Devil’s Island
And Ron DeSantis and James Uthmeier are his kind of lads.
The boys built an ICE camp for Trump
In the heart of a dismal, dangerous swamp,
So it’s just hot, nasty and cruel enough, Trump’s Alligator Alcatraz.
Politics of Names
But his “America Party” and “Democrat Party” are both grammatically lame:
See, “America” is a proper noun, but not an adjective,
Whereas “American” can be either one — it’s relative.
As with “Democrat Party,” Musk is about to find out what’s in a name.
