• Palm Springs, California reported breaking its all-time high temperature mark Saturday at 125 degrees. The desert southwest is brutal. This week it's so hot in Las Vegas that people are playing roulette for the breeze, and David Copperfield just changed his name to David Coppertone.

• The U.S. hosted the annual meeting of NATO nations, otherwise known as the defense industry's Customer Appreciation Day. Having already put missiles in Poland and Ukraine, why don't we just invite Russia to join NATO? That'll give us missiles in Moscow that could hit Moscow even sooner.

• President Biden hosted a White House meeting Tuesday with Great Britain's new Prime Minister Keir Starmer, just elected Friday. Starmer said Biden was very happy about the Labor Party victory. Not only did Joe call to congratulate him on Friday, he called him 3 times Saturday and 5 times Sunday.

• Labor Party's victorious leader Keir Starmer received the Seals of Office as Prime Minister from King Charles Friday and addressed the nation, vowing change. The regime's proposed health care program really sounds over-ambitious. The Labor Government is promising to fix British teeth by 2025.

• President Biden shrewdly played his comedy card while he was seated onstage at a black church in Philly during the closing hymn Sunday. The congregation and ministers stood and clapped but Joe remained seated appearing frozen and alarmed. He looked like he wanted to call the police on everybody.

• David Axelrod told ABC News Sunday President Biden needs to exit the ticket or he will lose in a landslide to Donald Trump. But having won all the primaries, it would break party rules to unseat Joe. The Democrats may have to destroy our democracy to keep Trump from destroying our democracy.

• White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre held a press conference Monday where furious reporters questioned her about the president's mental health. It sounded like Trump was back in office. It wasn't a good idea for Karine to show up for work that day in a white coat looking like a Visiting Angel.

• The BBC said it'll hire a racially mixed cast in a movie about the Norman conquest of England in 1066. We were the original flash mob. My Hamilton line were Normans and we stole England from the Saxons then stole Southern Scotland from the Celts, then we stole Ulster from the Irish then stole America from the Indians, and I was the kind of guy who'd steal your cocaine then help you look for it.
