President Trump gave a Memorial Day speech at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. Arlington was Robert E. Lee's plantation that the Yankees seized in 1862 when Lee didn't dare try to cross Union lines to pay his $90 property tax. It's why I rent to this day.

WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark was knocked out for 2 weeks with a leg strain. She's been taking a brutal beating on the court for four games. I don't want to say she's being targeted, but the new WNBA logo is a silhouette of Caitlin Clark driving to the basket above the league's slogan Kill the Boer.

Tiger Woods went public Monday with his romantic relationship with Trump's former daughter-in-law Vanessa Trump. Tiger issued a statement saying that he and Vanessa Trump are looking forward to their journey together for the rest of their lives. It's such a shame Pete Rose isn't alive to bet the Under's.

USA Today reported Thursday that a man in upstate New York is now facing a decade in state prison in connection to a murder-for-hire plot against a romantic rival for a woman's affection. The plan included feeding the victim's body to the pigs. This sounds like an episode of CSI Green Acres.

Newsweek reported that the nation's teachers and parents are increasingly alarmed by the nose dive in post-pandemic student test scores. Some say values need to be instilled. The good news is, Texas is putting the Ten Commandments in public schools, the bad news is, it's part of Advanced Math.

President Trump gave the commencement address at West Point Saturday and he went off-script and warned the graduating cadets that a trophy wife will never make them happy. I don't agree. Bill Belichick shows up for practice every day looking like he just won the Super Bowl again the night before.

ABC News reported that the Trump Administration accepted a $400 million 747 luxury airliner from Qatar and ordered the Pentagon to equip it as an Air Force One. It comes with some Qatari installed features. When it's parked on the runway, it has to face Mecca, or it self-flies into a skyscraper.

President Trump ordered the Alien Verification agency to partner with Social Security to allow election monitors to access Social Security numbers to keep illegal aliens from voting. In addition, Trump asked that bridges be built along the Arizona border. Apparently, Mexicans can't get past bridges.

The Supreme Court this week is hearing cases disputing the power of U.S. District judges to block Trump's power to deport illegal migrants. The president is determined to clean house. Over the last weekend, Trump demanded to see Bruce Springsteen's birth certificate to prove he was Born in the USA.

President Trump warned Thursday that if Apple and Samsung don't manufacture their phones in the U.S., he will slap a 25% tariff on them. And he didn't stop there. Trump ordered the National Institute of Health to manufacture Covid in America instead of China, or face a loss of federal funding.

French President Emmanuel Macron was embarrassed on landing in Hanoi Saturday by a video that showed his wife slapping him in the face at the open cabin door as they were just about to walk down. It was ever thus. Just once the French would like to be in Vietnam without getting slapped around.

Germany announced it's sending long-range missiles to Ukraine to fight Russia. The Germans will also send Ukraine their vaunted Leopard tanks. It's all allowed under the 1945 surrender terms, but the German tank units will NOT be allowed to sing as they roll through Poland like they did last time.

The Daily Mail reports a record number of Americans are applying this year to become British subjects. This is why comedians love to make jokes about Democrats. The people who are fleeing the United States for England complain that Trump wants to be a King so they move to a place with a King. Broadcast News reports a majority of Americans have now cut off their cable TV service and gone to streaming content. There was never a lot of love for Big Cable. During my jog yesterday, the cable repair guy was on my street and asked me what time it was, and I told him it was between 8 am and 1 pm.

The Cannes Film Festival was marred by a power outage during closing ceremonies on Saturday night in France. The festival honors movies, but it also gives celebrities a worldwide platform to air their political views. If a bomb fell on the Cannes Film Festival, our society could get off to a fresh start.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper is touring book stores and appearing on all talk shows to plug his just-published book titled Original Sin. In the book Tapper tells readers how the media conspired to hide Biden's mental and physical incapacity. You see better cover-ups on the red carpet at the Golden Globes.

Yellowstone National Park officials predict four million sightseers, campers and hikers will visit the park this summer. Be sure and observe good sportsmanship in the woods. The Forest Service advised against sacrificing slower friends during a bear attack, even if the friendship has run its course.

President Trump gave the graduation address at West Point where he ad-libbed a warning to the cadets against marrying trophy wives to attain happiness. Democrats claim it's clearly a sign of cognitive decline. Look, you either believe in a seamless transfer of presidential leadership or you don't.

President Trump incited a flurry of lawsuits last week by issuing an order banning Harvard from enrolling international students. The president said he's determined to protect Jewish students from being beaten, harassed and intimidated by anti-Israeli bullies. Trump has to be the worst Nazi ever.

A Boston U.S. District judge may have temporarily blocked Trump's attempt to root out foreign radical anti-Semitic students roiling Harvard. Our country's backbone seems to be losing its bone density. One good thing about having osteoporosis is, when you fall, you're already halfway to the floor.

Senate Republicans vowed changes in Trump's budget bill just passed in the House that arrived in the Senate Friday. The president described the House version the Big Beautiful Bill. It left the House looking like Caitlyn Clark, and by the time it comes out of the Senate it'll look like Caitlyn Jenner.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer sent out letters to Biden aides demanding they appear and testify. They'll investigate the cover-up of Joe Biden's mental decline while he was in office. Joe Biden remains defiant, claiming that he had no advance knowledge of the Watergate break-in.

The Trump Organization made a deal to build a $1.5 billion golf complex in Vietnam. The sport has taken off in the former communist country along with McDonald's restaurants with drive-thru window service. Democrats are terrified Trump will run for a third term, claiming he served in Vietnam.

Colombia is considering a ban on merchandise honoring Pablo Escobar who ruled the cocaine trade in the late '70s. The drug caused a hundred times more problems than the 20-minute-long sense of exhilaration it provided. I learned back then cocaine is NOT the solution, unless you mix it with water.
