Greetings! Bookmark this: DidTrumpGolfToday is my favorite new website.  It tracks how often The Donald golfs. According to the site, he visited a golf course almost 25% of the time he’s been in the office for Trump 2.0....Tucker Carlson has a new line of business in case his gig as a polarizing commentator goes down in flames.  He is the co-founder of  Battalion Metals, a company launched late last  year that helps consumers invest in gold. My two words of advice: buyer beware... Do-over? Does Markwayne Mullin want a mulligan after the contentious Senate hearings in which he got raked over the coals by lawmakers on both sides of the aisle?  As he vies for the role of the head of the massive Department of Homeland Security, he might want to rethink his response to questions like this one from Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI): Who won the 2020 election?” His BS answer: “We know that President Joe Biden was sworn in to office. He was the president for the last four years.” (Yahoo News)....Wishful thinking?

Sounds almost normal: Trump penned a heartfelt Truth Social post earlier this week about the cancer diagnosis of Susie Wiles, his Chief of Staff.  It was one of the most normal posts I’ve ever read from Trump where he expressed human emotions and did not sound like a heartless lunatic. What’s sad about this item is that I consider it noteworthy when the president expresses an appropriate reaction to another person’s distress...Sounds not quite normal: On the other hand, here’s Trump barely intelligible Truth Social rant this morning about the Strait of Hormuz: “I wonder what would happen if we ‘finished off’ what’s left of the Iranian Terror State, and let the Countries that use it, we don’t, be responsible for the so called ‘Strait?’ That would get some of our non-responsive 'Allies' in gear, and fast!!! President DJT”...I’m on a flight tomorrow morning so the newsletter may be delayed. Of course, I’m assuming I make it through the long security lines and my flight has WiFi...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard.
