Morpheus from Matrix movie: No, Frog. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready, you won't have to.

A person his age (especially one in deteriorating physical condition) SHOULD get a check up at least a couple of times a year. It probably shouldn't be described as a "routine yearly check up," however.

It was funny when he said this to Jonathan Karl who probably eats out in DC more often in an average day than Trump has in both of his administrations combined.

Karl said nothing, of course.

I don't think it's inappropriate for a man his age, in questionable physical condition, to see his doctor multiple times a year... but I think it's inappropriate to call it "his routine yearly checkup."

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

“If I can get seconds, thirds and fourths on that raw milk now? Ooh boy!”

Bryce Harper on the birth of his fourth child, a boy, last week: "I've got an incredible wife, man. She pushed that thing out in three pushes and 30 seconds. She's an absolute monster doing it. Women, man, what a breed.
I'm serious, it's an incredible thing."

Look the President clearly has some kind of dementia and there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, it will be a home run, and so that'll make it a 4–0 ballgame

One of the first tests of mettle for Bari Weiss as Editor-in-Chief will be the way it handles those "nightmares of urban dystopia based on conservative media doom loops" and injected into public discourse by the President himself. When asked about it, how will she deal with lying the size of a city?

I don't have the bandwidth to make this case explicit. But today, Todd Bessent put Frank Bisignano in charge of IRS, in addition to Social Security.

Bisignano, at Social Security, gave Big Balls access to all our Social Security data.

Now he's in charge of IRS.

Let me add that I LOVE well written reviews of almost anything (I miss Luca Turin's perfume reviews, for gods sake) and I'm enjoying these enormously. I started at Honeycrisp and am working my way forward.

Ananas Reinette, Black Gilliflower, Snow Apple, Karmijn de Sonnaville, Orleans Reinette and Reine des Reinettes. There are three of each so we'll be eating at least one "out of hand," as they say. But my wife makes the world's best apple cobbler so if you have any suggestions...?

My kids just surprised my wife, who had (successful) hand surgery, and me with a lovely box of heirloom apples from Scott Farm Orchard in Vermont so this is right in my wheelhouse.

Just shoving a Gala or Honeycrisp into your mouth and crunching on it isn't all there is! Ananas Reinette!

Can we just go ahead and officially change ICE’s name to “The Stasi?” We will eventually so why wait?

I’m in favor of Stephen Miller becoming the face of the administration.

a) EVERYBODY is repulsed by him
b) it will make Trump berserk
