Latrine John-Pissoir can't explain her book -- an Inside Look at a Broken White House, but she says she means the Trump White House, which she had no inside look at -- even to friendly leftwing media interviewers

Atari to release former competitor Intellivision with 45 games for $149
I always thought Intellivision was kinda lame (to the extent a cutting edge videogame box can be lame).
Intellivision insists upon itself.
Pitfall was a really good game. I don't know if it was available on Intellivision. Update: It was. But I don't know if it's included in the new unit.

Terrorist-aligned AP: "Reporter describes shock at witnessing East Wing's demolition"
White House press corps: "SO TRUMP CAN DEMOLISH ANYTHING HE WANTS TO?!?!"
Yes. Thank you for acknowledging that.

The Democrats are so attached to the East Wing and such pro-American history buffs that they... used a photo of Buckingham Palace and claimed it was the East Wing of the White House

How it's going: How 'Big Tent' Are Democrats Willing to Go? Many in the party say it needs a wider range of candidates to run. Does that include people with Nazi tattoos?

Senator Martin Heinrich of New Mexico said, "Graham has made a lot of mistakes in his life. He's had a very long journey to the place where he is today, but he's owned those mistakes, owned up to them, and he's evolved." Khanna called the tattoo "horrendous," but said: "Do we want our political governing class to be like the classmates I had at Yale Law School, some of them who dreamed of being president of the United States from the age of twelve?" He continued, "Or do we want normal people also having a chance at these offices?"

--The Atlantic, today. Have they SEEN the people who vote for them?

Black Conservative Perspective says there's a "Woke Civil War" going on in the left over this Nazi, with Race Marxists -- mostly black -- absolutely determined to cancel him, while the straight-up Communists -- mostly white rich-bitch nepo babies -- are fighting like hell for him. As many have noted: Communists are always willing to make a tactical alliance with Nazis. (And, of course, Communists are just totalitarian socialists with an internationalist foreign policy, while Nazis are totalitarian socialists with a nationalist foreign policy. They're two anti-human peas in a pod.)
The white communists are fighting hard for this guy because he is an open, avowed communist, and they think his completely-fake "normal blue-collar guy" persona can be used to do what they cannot do, sell communism to the working class.

"Reports from the Federal Reserve Banks indicate that economic activity in April and May continued to expand across the nation," the Fed said in its "beige book" report, an anecdotal look at the U.S. economy as seen through the eyes of its 12 regional banks. "Employment activity continued to improve, with hiring increasing at a faster pace in most districts; meanwhile, wages and salaries experienced little or muted upward pressures," the Fed said. "Many Reserve Banks reported modest increases in consumer prices, but most districts noted rising prices of inputs, especially energy-related products, building materials, and steel." Steel. The lifeblood of the cowbell industry. Key quote: "Employment activity continued to improve, *with hiring increasing at a faster pace in most districts." That means we're looking for better than 300,000 jobs per month down the road. 300,000 jobs per month -- if it continues long enough -- means that Bush will actually create net jobs by November. It also means that he'll be creating jobs at a much faster pace than the 10 million in four years promised by Kerry. Vote for John Kerry* He promises to create fewer jobs than his opponent. Rush Limbaugh notes that Bill Schneider has finally scooped the rest of the media on "the big secret" that the economy is actually doing "very well." Blaster links that, plus he discovers that even two future Kerry-endorsers -- the Washington Post and Andrew "Flip" Sullivan -- have figured out that the economy is roaring. Again, I'm unable to afford any cowbells at this time. However, I can offer a TOPPS trading card of C3PO sporting an erection: Hey...! "Didn't you already do those last two jokes like three months ago?" I believe in recycling. Don't you? Give me a break.
