Crib Notes of History

Some presidents are really quite grand,
We had one who drew a line in the sand.
We don’t want a president
Who’s demur or too hesitant,
But do we want one who writes on her hand?

Keynotin’ Palin

She wants to sound like she matters,
Amid the political chatter.
So that’s why she’s talkin’
And fancy pageant walkin’ —
‘Cause Sarah’s the Tea Party’s Mad Hatter.

Dishonest to a Fault

Buck Banks | Jul. 22, 2026

From Trump’s “stolen election” lies, we can’t get no relief,
He carps on about stolen votes, but he never names the thief.
Somebody needs to tell this guy
Americans aren’t buying his lies,
And that he’s turned us into the United States of Disbelief.

$4,600

President Donald Trump is asking for $1,500,000 million for the military for next year. That’s close to $600 billion (adjusted for inflation) more than we were spending on the military in fiscal year 2025, before Trump took office, Alternet reports. This increase is huge by any measure. It comes to around $4,600 per household. It is around 8% of the total budget.

61% to 35%

Wall Street Journal: “Around 40% of voters in the 2024 election said the economy was their top issue, far outstripping any other matter. And those voters favored Donald Trump by 60% to 38%. Many say they were moved by his pledges to tame inflation, rebuild U.S. infrastructure, cut red tape and trim government waste. … About a year and a half later, more voters disapprove of Trump’s handling of the economy than approve, 61% to 35%, an average of polls by the Cook Political Report found this month.”
