Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

"Once Brockman was handcuffed and placed in the van, the agents pulled out, clipping the rear bumper off of a stopped car partially blocking their path and speeding away past an approaching elongated CTA bus and through the busy intersection."

If Trump indicts John Bolton, it won’t be for the reason he deserves: his role in the Spider-Man “clone saga” of the 90s.
Professor Warren, who created the Spidey clones and is a dead ringer for John Bolton.

Bob Dylan is one of only two Nobel Prize winners to have written a number one pop song; the other Evanston’s own Vice President Charles Dawes, who wrote the melody for what became “It’s All in the Game.” (Dawes is also one of two members of congress to write a #1 song, the other being Sonny Bono)

The Holy, Beat, and Crazy Next Thing. A signed Jack Kerouac episode from On The Road, written in London, was found in the estate sale of a 40-year dead, murdered mafia boss. You couldn't make it up (and Kerouac didn't, he only changed the names). Here's page one. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/o...
First page of 'The Holy, Beat, and Crazy Next Thing' by Jack Kerouac, the whole things is yours for six grand or so.

If her fetus is "in her placenta," that woman is in a ton of pain and the pregnancy's a nonstarter anyway. Good lord, don't take medical advice from this man.

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”
