He won’t be able to read it.
I actually think it derives from the fact that Michelle Obama’s “shapely arms” were one of her most praised features.
People looking for reasons to criticize her zeroed in on her appearance.
And then the bigots responded that the reason that Michelle had muscular arms was because she was male.

Black women have always been on the receiving end of that “looks like a man” bigotry a LOT.
Especially physically fit Black women, and especially Black female athletes. Hell, there are still people who will swear up and down that tennis GOAT Serena Williams is AMAB and transgender, despite her having given birth to two children.
Jeez, he looks worse than usual. I just watched a clip of this on tv and was distracted by how visible the swelling in his ankles seems to have traveled all the way up his legs. The White House tailor really needs to outfit him in some larger trousers.
I thought Republicans supported the right to bare arms…
No, that’s ursine forelimbs.
Kash is good for the country. He keeps his eye on the ball. Or balls.

Is it confirmed Twitler is not like his idol of old int aht department?
Besides the war, there was another TACO Tuesday item that was also good news:
The Trump administration has abandoned its effort to halt wind energy projects across the United States and dropped its challenge to the court ruling that tossed President Donald Trump’s order freezing federal permitting and leasing for wind projects. States that challenged the order hailed the development as one of the most significant legal victories against the Trump White House’s campaign against the energy transition.
Monday’s decision affirms the December 8 ruling by US District Court Judge Patti Saris, which concluded that Trump’s January 2025 executive order was unlawful, finding the sweeping ban on wind projects was “arbitrary and capricious” and exceeded the president’s authority.
Environmental and wildlife advocacy groups applauded the move. Nancy Pyne, a senior advisor to the Sierra Club, said renewable energy continues to prevail and grow in spite of Trump’s relentless attacks.
“While everyday Americans face soaring bills and unstable prices,” she said, “renewable energy offers an affordable, common sense solution to lower costs and protect our health and our environment.”
This latest victory in a string of legal setbacks for the administration comes at a time when clean energy production continues to surge despite a slew of policy, permitting, and procedural hurdles imposed by the White House.

Preach it, Brother Carville!
Democratic strategist James Carville has made the bold prediction that President Donald Trump will “walk away” from the White House in less than a year.
Fierce Trump critic Carville made the claim on the latest episode of his Politics War Room podcast with journalist Al Hunt and predicted the president would exit office because of the “massive rejection” he believes Trump will suffer in the upcoming November midterm elections.
“I’m telling you, this guy, by Easter of 2027, is just going to walk away from this job,” Carville claimed. "Because he doesn’t have any idea of what it’s going to be like when he comes to grips with the massive…rejection of him."
The campaign strategist for former President Bill Clinton cited that Trump has grown “bored” with negotiations to end the Iran war and how he “can’t stay awake” as other reasons why he believes the president will leave office prematurely.
Trump, who turned 80 on Sunday, often “gets distracted” and “won’t last past Easter of 2027,” Carville reaffirmed.
Even from the grave, he’s got the con’s number.
effrey Epstein sought to leverage his connection to Donald Trump in an apparent last-ditch request for leniency while in jail awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges , a 35-day stint inside a notorious New York prison that ended with his suicide in 2019.
Previously unreleased handwritten notes obtained by The New York Times reveal Epstein’s half-baked sentences and phrases scribbled on legal pads, including what appear to be ideas for federal prosecutors to investigate then-President Trump.
“Trump is a total con artist,” he wrote, adding the phrases “smoke & mirrors” and “never had money.”
He also suggested former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg “knows all” and suggested the president’s “college transcripts” should be publicly released. “Not a stable genius,” he wrote.
Thanks to Sean Penn, the ketchup will be flying left, right, and center–but mostly right–at 1600 Pennsyslvania.
Sean Penn will direct a new film about the January 6 riot set to star Bradley Cooper .
According to Deadline , the star, who recently won his third Oscar, will bring what’s been described as a “passion project” to the screen and act as both writer and director.
The as-yet-untitled drama will follow the life of a police officer who gets mixed up in the violent insurrection of 2021 . Cooper is reportedly in talks to play him.
The film has also been referred to as an “unexpected story about friendship” that will be made in collaboration with the real-life subject whose identity is being kept hidden for now.
Penn attended a January 6 House committee hearing in 2022, describing himself as “just another citizen” who was there to observe.
“I think we all saw what happened on January 6, and now we’re looking to see if justice comes on the other side of it,” he said.
Penn has also previously referred to Donald Trump as “an enemy of mankind” and a “narcissist”.
The felon is funding Iran to the tune of three hundred billion dollars.
The United States undertakes, together with its regional partners, to create a comprehensive plan agreed upon by both parties for the rehabilitation and economic development of the Islamic Republic of Iran, While ensuring financing of at least $300 billion. The implementation mechanism of this plan, as part of the final agreement, will be formulated within 60 days.
And the felon calls it fake news.
President Trump on Monday sought to cast doubt on Iran getting $300 billion in reconstruction funding as part of a peace agreement with the U.S. if the Middle East country upholds its obligations.
“Iran has agreed to never have a Nuclear Weapon! Also, the story that the U.S. is paying Iran 300 million Dollars is Fake News, put out by the Dumocrats!!!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, concluding the post with “President DJT.”
You know he just cannot stand not being the centre of attention.
There have been a few hiccups along the way, but the 2026 FIFA World Cup is truly up and running. After the United States Men’s National Team kicked things off with a 4-1 win against Paraguay , Spain stole the show for all the wrong reasons as they were held to a goalless draw by Cape Verde .
But in the midst of all the action, the spotlight was focused on President Donald Trump on Monday, June 15, after a report from soccer insider Ben Jacobs.
On Monday evening, Ben Jacobs reported that “FIFA have no objection to Trump breaking presentation protocol and handing the World Cup trophy directly to the winning captain, and remaining in the thick of the celebrations.”
In his report for talkSPORT, Jacobs added that President Trump has already informed FIFA of his wish to hand over the prestigious World Cup trophy to the eventual winners.
I do like some of the reaction to this, though.
It didn’t take all that long for Trump’s rumored wish to be criticized, as fans and analysts of the sport took to social media to vent.
Reporter Jimmy Murphy wrote , “Can’t wait for the winning team to say keep the trophy and p**s off!” A statistician for Liverpool Football Club also struck a similar tone, saying, “I sincerely hope that the winning captain poses for whatever obligatory photo he has to and then performs the trophy lift with his teammates after he has left the stage.”
Twitch streamer Micha added, “Only the WORLD CHAMPIONS can lift that trophy.”
Others took aim at FIFA chief Gianni Infantino, questioning why he couldn’t (or wouldn’t) take a stance and keep the trophy presentation sacred. More threw their weight behind Iran ’s World Cup campaign, hoping they would lift the trophy, though the chances of that happening are beyond slim.
And who do you think the felon’s flacks think is behind the terror attack Patel says he thwarted? (The link is to a video.)
Republican Senator Katie Britt bizarrely pinned an alleged White House terror plot on former President Joe Biden with zero evidence.Appearing on Newsmax on Tuesday, the Alabama senator baselessly accused the 46th president’s administration of bearing responsibility for an alleged terror plot that was planned to disrupt Trump’s 80th birthday UFC fight night at the White House on Sunday.
The felon issued an EO to order more bullets and bombs.
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is using his executive authority to force defense companies to quickly produce more weaponry as his administration presses lawmakers to pass additional defense spending to replenish stockpiles depleted during the U.S.-led war with Iran .
Trump quietly invoked the Defense Production Act last week to address rising concerns within his administration about the shortfall of munitions , according to a memo filed in the Federal Register on Tuesday.
“I hereby find that conditions exist which may pose a direct threat to the national defense or its preparedness programs,” Trump wrote in a June 11 memo to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth . Production constraints and supply chain concerns “may impair the ability of the United States to produce, sustain, and expand the availability of munitions, missiles, and equipment required for the national defense,” he wrote.
Yet another of the felon’s vanity projects takes a hit.
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump is facing a new lawsuit as he continues his building spree in the nation’s capital.
A coalition of six preservation and cultural groups filed a lawsuit on June 15 against the Trump administration over the president’s plan to build a statuary garden at West Potomac Park on the National Mall. The groups argued that the site of the garden runs afoul of federal laws and has not been authorized by Congress.
The project, the National Garden of American Heroes, is slated to feature 250 statues of historical figures from America’s past who have contributed to the nation’s cultural, scientific, economic, and political heritage , commemorating the 250th anniversary of America’s independence.

Jimmy Kimmel used a mix-up involving members of Donald Trump ’s family as the setup for a controversial joke during his latest monologue on Monday night, RadarOnline.com
During Monday night’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! UFC Freedom 250 event held at the White House in honor of the president’s 80th birthday.
During the event, UFC commentator Jon Anik appeared to confuse First Lady Melania with Donald’s eldest daughter, Ivanka , while introducing members of the Trump family in attendance.
“The First Lady Ivanka?” Jimmy said as footage of the gaffe played for viewers.
The comedian then delivered a punchline that drew gasps from some audience members.
“I guess somebody’s birthday wish came true,” he quipped.
*It’s okay when a republican president does it.
“I’m telling you, this guy, by Easter of 2027, is just going to walk away from this job,” Carville claimed. "Because he doesn’t have any idea of what it’s going to be like when he comes to grips with the massive…rejection of him."
As much as I hope for a Democratic landslide this year, I don’t think Trump would come to terms with it, because he would never accept it. Somehow, he would rationalize it away. “The Democrats cheated, Congress thwarted my true agenda, aliens hacked my Twitter account, there was an earthquake, a terrible flood, locusts; it wasn’t my fault!”
His confidence is pathological, and he has only one stage of grief.

I know, right? It’s amazing what radical liberal med tech can do these days.
The scary thing is, she was a nurse , yet she believed the BS.
Ooh, I can only imagine some spectacular line misreadings that could even surpass trump’s telling of the Revolutionary War:
“Our Army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do…” .
Silly duffer, ramparts are for eating. Gorging on ramparts for Christmas* was why the Hussians were so comatose that Washington could defeat them by throwing dollars over the Delaware River.
* Which fell on December 25th that year. Not many people know that.
And of course, any such mistakes will become an official part of the deal. “…and three hundred trillion dollars for Iran…” Cha-ching!
It’s either that, or Trump admits he made a mistake.
