President: it's a job, not a title.

Lara Trump's RNC litmus (lie-tmus) test.

Four blondes, no joke.

During part of my misspent youth, I hung out with a friend who occasionally tried to talk me into questionable behavior. One of his favorite lines was "You lie and I'll swear to it."

Uncle Sam has a question for all Americans.

It's hard to believe any loyal American would support a dictator seeking retribution...or a dictator who kills his political opponents and invades his democratic neighbors.

Is one of these men too old to be president?

The NYT headline on the Hur report was "Special Counsel's Report Puts Biden's Age and Memory in the Spotlight." The fact that Biden was exonerated of any and all charges seems to have escaped their notice.

Stink eye at Home Depot.

Like so many misadventures, today's drama started with innocent good intentions- a trip to Home Depot to replace my bird feeder. I wandered up and down several aisles in a fruitless quest to find either 1) a bird feeder or 2) an employee who could tell me where to find the bird feeders. Finally, I spotted an employee- an older gentleman wearing the telltale orange apron of his clan. He was busy helping a short woman. I pulled up behind them and waited unobtrusively for them to finish their conversation.

It seems the woman was looking for a specific light bulb. She was reading off 14-digit part numbers to the employee who laboriously entered the same numbers into the inventory app on his phone, waited a few seconds, and then said "Nope." This process was repeated with the same outcome. After the third attempt, which evidently was not the charm, the woman was saying "well, I could order it online but that would probably take THREE days..." at which point the employee turned his head slightly to acknowledge my presence. Grabbing the moment like a life raft I blurted out: "Excuse me, do you know where I can find the bird feeders?" He said "if we have them they'd be against the wall (pointing)."

The short woman turned around 180 degrees and stunned me with some world-class stink eye for interrupting her light bulb consultation. My instinct was to bow and offer a plaintive "I am not worthy"...but in a rare (for me) moment of lucidity, I said nothing and scuttled away.

Coda: They didn't have any bird feeders against the wall. I fled the store.

Haley is offering MAGAts a face-saving exit from supporting Trump.

Part of the self-defeating foolishness of the left is the comfortable belief that all Trump supporters are stupid and/or evil. Many are enmeshed in a warped information matrix. They are drugged by team loyalty but also increasingly uncomfortable with Trump's unhinged, hate-filled rants. He's their drunk uncle and syphilitic mob boss. They want to be loyal to him but it is increasingly difficult to ignore his mental flailing or pretend he is competent to provide leadership. Shunting him to the sidelines would not betray their loyalty if it's understood as an act of compassion and good judgment.
