Democrat Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett demanded the 25th Amendment be invoked saying Trump is mentally and cognitively unfit for office. It only shows the split among Democrats. The Democratic Party will never be united until they can decide whether President Trump is Hitler or Biden.

President Trump flew to Saudi Arabia to broker business deals for the U.S. and generate progress toward the signing of an Arab peace deal. It's a different world there. The Bachelor was a TV ratings failure in Saudi Arabia because in the first episode after ten minutes, the Bachelor said I'll take them all.

The NFL announced the 2025 season opening game will have the Philadelphia Eagles hosting the Dallas Cowboys. It feels like the entire world is looking forward to the start of the NFL season. This week, billboards went up all over Chicago reading Popes from Chicago 1- Popes from Green Bay-0.

Bill Belichick's girlfriend Jordan Hudson looked glum after she finished 3rd in the Miss Maine USA Pageant. Transgender woman contestant Isabelle St. Cyr drew most of the attention and finished in the Top 10. St. Cyr wowed the judges during the talent portion when she spelled her name in the snow.

President Trump's five-day itinerary this week includes stops in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. While in the region, Trump may also include a possible stop-off in Jerusalem. The Middle East is the birthplace of Western Civilization's 3 great religions – Christianity, Judaism and Oil.

President Trump hinted to reporters Monday that he might stop by Turkey to attend the peace talks between the Russians and Ukrainians, with the ball in Russia's court. A real peace gesture by Putin would be to shutter all the windows on upper skyscraper floors. That would stop a lot of the killing.

President Trump's safety in the Middle East this week will be managed by the Secret Service and they must be on their toes. Qatar is offering to give President Trump a brand-new jumbo airliner that was manufactured by Boeing. That's the 3rd assassination attempt on Trump in the past year alone.

House Democrats angrily opposed Trump receiving the jet from Qatar saying it obligates us to Qatar. History bears this out. We accepted the Statue of Liberty from France in 1876 and after that the French gave us that Remember Our Gift look every time the German Army dropped by France for a visit.

President Trump addressed reporters before departing for the Middle East Monday and issued an executive order forcing Big Pharma to slash drug prices, leaving Trump's political opponents apoplectic. Now we're going to have to pay less for our prescriptions. When will this madness ever end?

Gavin Newsom countered Trump's prescription drug price order by pointing out that California offers free prescription drugs with the California Prescription Card. It's less risky than the old way. I remember when the only way to get free drugs in California was to wear a really short skirt to the party.

Elon Musk said Trump's $5 million Gold Card program allows wealthy foreigners with lots of cash to acquire U.S. citizenship. It's a win-win in the deportation debate. It's a way of telling the drug cartel and illegal gang members we realize you want due process in the United States, but nothing's free.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Friday he successfully obtained a cease fire between India and Pakistan in their bitter war over the Kashmir border province. Everyone's relieved that India and Pakistan agreed to the cease fire before the conflict went nuclear. World War 7-11 has been averted.

Ukraine welcomed Russian overtures to conduct peace talks Sunday but first insisted on a cease fire. At the present moment, it's wise to remain cautious. Ukraine's president Vladimir Zelensky has agreed to meet with Russia's President Vladimir Putin, but only if it's on the first floor of a building.

President Trump struck his first reciprocal fair trade deal Friday with Great Britain and assured reporters that a dozen other trade deals are in the hopper near agreement. There are other signs we're on the right track. It's a good sign the tariffs are working when even Popes are made in America.

The Chicago Tribune reported that the City of Chicago burst into celebration on news that one of Chicago's own had been elected Pope. On Saturday, Pope Leo XIV issued his first public statement since becoming pope. May G od bless every person in the world, except Green Bay.

Pope Leo XIV's boyhood home in suburban Chicago happened to be on the market just before his papal election but is now a tourist shrine. He grew up in the house as Robert Prevost. For some reason, the new pope's decided on the name Leo, and now nuns will be asked to retire once they turn 25.

ICE agents dealt with angry neighborhood resistance and Blue State lawsuits while conducting deportation raids Friday. There's one company that's profiting from the sympathy being generated. Hallmark just introduced a condolence card you can send to people when your drug dealer gets deported.

The University of North Carolina posted a denial on Instagram of reports that it banned coach Bill Belichick's 24-year-old girlfriend Jordan Hudson from the UNC football practice facilities. The 73-year-old coach angrily responded to the report and had one question for the school. What is Instagram?

Rosie O'Donnell posted a video from her new home in Ireland Monday in which she said she sold her New York townhouse for half its value just to escape living in Trump's America. Very quickly Trump retaliated and slapped a 200% tariff on Irish Setters. It's time we supported American Setters.

Billboard reports that Kanye West flipped out again Friday and released a new song titled Heil Hitler that received millions of hits on X in which the rapper continues feeding his obsession for being seen as a Nazi Party member. I don't think they're going to admit him. Certain restrictions apply.

President Trump sent envoys to Geneva to negotiate trade with China while Mattel lobbied him to give dolls made in China a tariff break. Trump backs a 100% tariff on plastic Barbie dolls, likely in retaliation for all their accusations, lawsuits and broken non-disclosure agreements in the last fifty years.

President Trump revealed plans Thursday to rename the Persian Gulf the Gulf of Arabia upon arrival in Saudi Arabia. Not to be outdone, California Governor and likely presidential candidate in 2028 Gavin Newsom renamed San Andreas. From now any earthquake will be known as Trump's Fault.
