Found this from an old post. It was from the first ever Bridgeport Index published in 1910. Don't worry about that bank, they said, if they rounded up every cent they had there would be $187,000
- I saw some pundits last night and this morning saying that the Senate might not confirm this talk show host for one of the most complicated jobs in the world. Are you kidding me? They will rubber stamp anything Trump wants. Plus, Trump's already told the Senate that he wants recess appointments so that he doesn't need their approval at all.
- That story overshadowed a bigger story that broke in the afternoon. Now Trump wants to make sure the military is only full of yes-men. Like wanting to bypass the Senate, it's all about consolidation of complete and absolute power in one branch.
- Also announced last night: A made-up department which requires two chiefs and is named the "Department of Government Efficiency" has a very Monty Python feel to it.
- This guy's influence is getting weird.
- Get ready. It's the beginning of modern day concentration camps. And private prisons will make money off of it (of course.)
- No. He's not the right kind of American.
- Ted Cruz even turned on him (again) this morning.
- Predictable breaking news from the Times this morning.
- A Baptist minister will be ambassador to Israel. You think he'll care about the carnage that Israel is doing to Gaza or its incursions into the West Bank? He has said, "There is no such thing as a West Bank. It’s Judea and Samaria. There’s no such thing as a settlement. They’re communities, they’re neighborhoods, they’re cities. There’s no such thing as an occupation.”
- With "little Marco" Rubio nominated to be Secretary of State, there are strong rumors floating around that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will appoint Laura Trump in his place as a Florida senator. And look who weighed in on it:
- A bullet of point about sports seems quant. But I'll do it anyway: This was a wild experiment in the 1980s. Notre Dame chose a high school coach with no college experience to lead the Fighting Irish. I knew it didn't work out well, but he actually had a winning record (barely) over four years.
- Didn't I just say that Democracy dies gradually, then suddenly?
