"...the Reflecting Pool now drained to allow major work" reveals the TIRE MARKS of Trump's motorcade which drove through the pool after that liner was applied. "On May 7, 2026, the motorcade passed through the empty landmark so the president could make an unannounced trip to inspect the basin, which was undergoing a $2 million renovation to be painted and sealed in a color he called "American flag blue". The motorcade's drive through the pool drew public attention and media scrutiny, as experts and reporters speculated that the weight of the heavy vehicles and equipment may have compromised the drying process of the new protective liner."

Appreciate the levity of Smudge in a model airplane box.

Yeah, let's eliminate the ICC just in case they can lasso the war criminals.

For me it all began when Reagan went from governor to president and the supreme court unconstitutionally decided bush vs gore, but I never thought it would get this out of control.

Keep cool everyone

My subconscious rose up and told me I never put the link in because you can’t do a copy paste kind of a thing so I was waiting and then I forgot to do it. I’ve added it in below now. Skunk!

Off-topic but I just bumped into this short reel and wondered if you know the story… Or maybe the personality himself! Obviously it was the Aviation Week subscription that caused me to make the connection, and his subsequent pivot… quite a journey from receiving his first guitar when he was nine.

Of your many many topics reported in such great detail today… I love Judge Williams’ timing for acting Atty. General Todd Blanche to be included among those referred for censure, if not even the question of disbarment. I’d like to think this would factor into the whole AG confirmation issue. NO! VOTE NO! Again, I love her timing!

And Marco Rubio rattling chains about dismantling the ICC? Sheesh!

I know we all have good strong opinions about what needs to be dismantled!

Alert!

Jeopardy Alert!!

I'm posting before I even get to reading today's TAFM because it was on Jeopardy tonight. I'm assuming, rightly or not, that we are all Jeopardy nerds. In the first segment a clue (I forgot the category) was (paraphrasing): In a 1930 Laurel and Hardy film the title used the phrase "That's Another Blank Blank" and I surprised the Mrs. when I shouted out loud Fine Mess!!

I confess, I had to scroll/skim most of this today. Apologies, Tom, for doing so after all your hard work. It's 100 degrees here, 108 by heat/humidity index. My brain is fried.

Take care, Miselle.

Thank you, Jude. I'm sure trying. Talk about a long, hot summer in every possible way!

I've been on the Paramount lot. I got goosebumps going through the gate the first time. Back in the day. To think that these shits would be foolish enough to think they could just re-locate to Austin or Plano is mind-boggling. Beyond comprehension. All so they can destroy CNN.

Very tough opener today, we've lost too many legends already.

Thank you, TC for TAFM today. I believe the: "These traitors are terrified the next administration will bag the bunch of them and send them to the ICC to answer for the multitude of war crimes committed by this cabal of fascist scum." It can't come soon enough. Have a good evening. It was another busy day. Thank you for presenting Smudge to us today. I see where he gets his name.

Actually, he was a she. :-)

We had a Smudge but she was coal black!

I thought about when I said he. Next time if I don't know....I will say he/she! LOL
