GET ME REWRITE: Trump team parties like it's 1950

 

Headline:  Wisconsin State Journal, 7/9/2026

Nandita Bose reports for Reuters:

Preliminary findings from his team's focus groups suggest the message strongly energizes Trump's base and could boost turnout among infrequent Republican voters, according to two people familiar with the matter. 

However, it appears less effective with independents — often decisive in closely fought contests — and younger voters.

Welcome to malpractice in journalism.

MISCREANT PREACHERS: Child exploitation in the Name of the Lord (#344 in a series)

 

Mugshot and headline:  Fox 26 Houston, 7/7/2026

Ronnie Marley reports:

Officials stated the arrest comes after an extensive investigation that originated from a CyberTip referral from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. 

Officials said after receiving the CyberTip, Precinct 3 detectives initiated a comprehensive investigation utilizing search warrants, digital forensic examinations, and other investigative techniques, ultimately developing sufficient probable cause to obtain an arrest warrant for Walker. 

Authorities said at the time of Walker's arrest, he publicly identified himself as a youth pastor and worship leader at Infinity Church in the Houston area.

"Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.  (1 Timothy 4:12)

Paul Krugman: Donald Trump is non compos mentis

 

AI-generated image:  Manus 1.6 Lite

Headline:  Paul Krugman , 7/8/2026

What we have is President Sundowner. I mean, this this is completely insane stuff. In any kind of normally functioning political system, in any kind of normally functioning party environment we would have a massive bipartisan call across the aisle, across almost everybody except for a handful of members of congress who are themselves crazy, to say okay this guy is non compos mentis. We cannot leave the fate of the United States or the world in the hands of somebody who is completely irrational, who is making demands and believing himself to have powers that he does not.
