l of the house which it did there s even more at the link i m glad at least one journalist is writing about this by charles van den eycken belgian artist along the same lines jd wolf writes at meidas news trump heads to luxury golf club as sailors endure horrific conditions at sea president donald trump is heading to another weekend at his bedminster new jersey golf club as questions mount over promises he made to americans on energy costs and his pledge to take care of the u s military trump campaigned on cutting energy and electricity prices in half within his first year in office and repeatedly promised americans 2 gasoline however energy costs have not fallen anywhere close to those levels and gasoline prices remain well above the 2 target many are experiencing some of the highest electricity bills they have ever seen at the same time thousands of sailors aboard the uss abraham lincoln have reportedly endured food and water shortages disrupted mail long workdays plumbing problems and deteriorating mental health after more than 250 days at sea against that backdrop trump is once again retreating to bedminster for a weekend that is largely closed to the press trump doesn t seem to do much of anything other than sit in oval office talking to reporters and falling asleep and then playing golf at every opportunity in a speech last night a delusional trump claimed he could make the strait of hormuz a territory of the united states again it s 25th amendment time the hill trump says he will declare strait of hormuz a us territory president trump claimed during remarks on long island n y on friday that he will make the strait of hormuz a u s territory despite the fact that oman and iran share jurisdiction of the waterway pretty soon i will be declaring the hormuz strait a territory of the united states trump said during an address highlighting his administration s efforts to combat crime in the u s trump did not elaborate on how he would make the critical shipping lane a u s territory considering the u s does not have jurisdiction over the waterway trump has said since the conflict started roughly six months ago that the u s has controlled the strait he deployed a u s naval blockade in the strait twice claiming u s supremacy over the transit of oil exports from the region iran has pushed back on trump s claims that the u s controls the waterway in a post on the social platform x on wednesday iran s persian gulf strait authority said that whoever owns it does not change the reality the strait of hormuz remains blocked and will not be reopened until iran s conditions are accepted more trump insanity this time about the ballroom from graig graziosi at the independent trump rants about treasonists group that launched lawsuit to stop his ballroom president donald trump issued a long truth social rant complaining that treasonists allegedly revealed top military secrets by suing to stop the construction of his white house ballroom by julius adam german artist the treasonists in question are the national trust for historic preservation which has opposed trump s ballroom the construction of which began only after the president ordered the east wing of the white house demolished and has sued to halt further building at the site they are very bad for our country they stop many projects that are worthy and hurt many others in this case they are trying to stop one that is vital to our national security and the safety of all presidents of the united states both current and future their families staff and cabinet members trump wrote friday night the president fought the lawsuit to the u s court of appeals in washington d c where it ruled that the constitution gives congress not the president the power to make substantial changes to the white house the decision upheld a previous ruling by district judge richard leon who determined that trump is the steward of the white house not the owner at the new york times jamie bouie has a more serious opinion piece about trump s irresponsible leadership gift article trump is in a fantasy land of his own making this week i have been reading regime change inside the imperial presidency of donald trump the recent volume from my newsroom colleagues maggie haberman and jonathan swan on the first year of president trump s second term whenever i read an inside account of a presidency i am on the lookout for anything that tells us something about the way the president in question relates to the office itself is there a particular way he manages the white house or attends to challenges and crises on what issues does he defer to his staff members and subordinates versus take his own counsel how does he deal with the endless stream of information and intelligence from a nearly infinite number of sources by wilhelm schwar german artist the growing complexity of the administrative state and the enlarged responsibilities of the office led presidents beginning in earnest with harry truman to create new institutionalized processes designed to get the best and most accurate information available in addition to practical considerations this has been a way for presidents to combat one of the pathologies of executive authority a tendency to value one s own unique insight above all else even still it is immensely difficult for presidents to avoid the trap if you will of getting high on their own supply trump according to haberman and swan has not simply junked this process in its entirety he has set up his white house to affirm his frequently arbitrary instincts above all other considerations he has insulated himself from opposing views and made internal dissent verboten at no point does trump receive neutral information just about everything is tailored to his whims impulses and mercurial disposition the result is that he is isolated from reality to the extent that he is practically living in a fairy tale haberman and swan describe a trump who cannot see beyond the first few steps of any given action and is constantly taken aback by political obstacles and backlash recent controversies from the depletion of our military s stock of sophisticated munitions to worsening conditions on some of our naval vessels are easier to fathom when you consider the strong odds that trump is told precious little about the actual conditions of his war more likely he is told what he wants to hear that america is winning and iran is on the verge of surrender it s an excellent analysis read the whole thing

buss repeat1968 good day sky dancers as we continue joint operation chaos with israel in the middle east it s becoming apparent that more money and thought are going into project glitz up the white house than into taking care of our all volunteer army the headlines this week and today have been disgraceful the latest weird decision by the peerless leader which put others lives in danger as he escaped in a food cart to a different plane is to spend billions of dollars on the us navy to restore old technology it s also becoming apparent that almost all the ships at sea have deplorable living conditions trump has never had respect for those serving in the military but this is over the top it goes beyond calling them all suckers it endangers their lives senator mark kelly has a lot to say about this today this report is at the hill and covered by finya swai mark kelly on aircraft carrier catapult order donald trump knows nothing about this stuff i hate to think that the u s military is one of the things trump touches that dies sen mark kelly d ariz blasted president trump on thursday for ordering the u s navy to revert to older catapult systems on its aircraft carriers arguing the change would be costly while questioning trump s qualifications to make such a call he s a marginally failed real estate developer with multiple bankruptcies kelly said in an interview with ms now he shouldn t be weighing in on systems on aircraft carriers trump earlier thursday directed the navy to return to steam powered catapults and hydraulic systems on its ford class aircraft carriers ditching the newer electromagnetic technology the order would require changes to future carriers including the uss doris miller which is currently under construction and already slated to use the electromagnetic aircraft launch system emals kelly a former navy combat pilot and nasa astronaut who sits on the senate armed services committee warned the move would force the navy to redesign ships that are well into development and are probably going to cost billions of dollars the arizona democrat has said that despite his own experience in hundreds of career takeoffs and landings his degree in aeronautical and marine engineering and his work as a test pilot he still would not tell navy engineers how to design a carrier donald trump knows nothing about this stuff the senator continued in the interview not in any world would i suggest to the navy to change the design of some system on a ship at this point he added i mean does the guy know nothing about the way our government is supposed to work and how it s supposed to be managed as usual orange caligula is always thinking like it s still the late 20th century this is from the ap trump orders the navy to return to an older system of launching jets off aircraft carriers it s reported by konstantin toropin president donald trump is ordering the u s navy to remove the advanced system used to launch fighter jets from its newest type of aircraft carrier and return to using older steam catapults that he has long said he prefers according to a directive issued thursday the new mandate would likely cost billions of dollars and revert the navy s most advanced ships to a system that takes more sailors to operate and is more difficult to maintain the memo directs the pentagon and the navy to present trump with plans to remove the electromagnetic aircraft launch system also known as emals within two months it also says the ford class carrier s electromagnetic weapons elevators should be replaced the move comes after years of trump railing against the new magnetically powered catapult system that shoots fighter jets off the deck of the carriers it also comes at a time when the u s military is trying to find funding from congress for all its desired equipment and as the navy is struggling to fill its ships with enough sailors evidently france and china beg to differ while trump is looking to roll back the latest technology the newest chinese aircraft carriers employ electromagnetic catapults and france said it plans to use the system on its new carrier trump s memo directs the fourth ford class carrier the uss doris miller to be the first ship to include the new changes that will leave the uss gerald r ford as well as the forthcoming uss john f kennedy and uss enterprise untouched however redesigning an already finalized ship for such a major system change will not be an easy task ms now interviewed the wife of the sailor who recently jumped ship the boat is finally getting to me wife of uss abraham lincoln sailor who jumped overboard shares texts the sailor s wife told ms now her husband expressed his mental health concerns to leadership during his long deployment on the aircraft carrier in the iran war but was brushed off lindsey pipia and priya sridhar share the lede the wife who was granted anonymity to describe sensitive mental health issues said she was not contacted by navy officials about the incident until four days after her husband jumped off the ship on aug 3 i think that it was handled very poorly because they didn t inform me and they didn t want me to know and they re just trying to cover this up she told ms now as she awaits her husband s arrival back to san diego after he was medically evacuated off the ship she learned about what she described as a suicide attempt after one of her husband s friends on the ship messaged her that someone from his squadron went overboard she said later that friend told her it was her husband according to messages reviewed by ms now unable to reach him she reached out to the ship s ombudsman in hopes of receiving more information her account contradicts what navy leadership told family members of the sailors and marines serving on the lincoln during tense in person and virtual town hall meetings last week navy officials said they could not comment on the medical records of individual service members to protect patient privacy many family members are concerned about potential exhaustion low morale and the mental health of those on board as the aircraft carrier s
