What, me worry?

Nice! It was a trick ending, being about Isaacson. I expected the King and thought, "Whoa." I was curious about this because I had heard the part written on the chyron about flying 18 hours and recalled it because Trump said "telephonically" at the end in that enunciation style of his.

It can't be mentioned too often how frequently Trump meets with the press and takes questions. Unscreened questions, at that. Can you imagine any Democrat in the last quarter-century doing that?

Tell me again how he's a senile dunce, our Leftist friends.

Fuck Israel and every American who chooses their country over ours. Our people and ways our better. But sell us out... what have you to lose?

Democrats were all giddy about Merz and his stupid comments yesterday.

Today who is grovelling?

I also notice that Russia said they were supporting Iran now. I am sure Iran will appreciate all of that support they are going to get from Russia.

But does this mean Democrats are allied with Russia now?

It has been 10 years since they were allies with Russia and selling them Uranium!

Oh the humanity!

When in the future people ask me about the Trump presidency, and how it all happened, I'm gonna have to tell them that he was the premier roast comedian of our generation.

Trump the Insult Comic President.

I did utter a little gasp and then a laugh when Trump said out loud what some of us might have said to each other when watching the gathering on our tv. I took it as a gesture of fondness and admiration for the man's obvious expertise in his field. I don't think Trump ever teased about Obama' large sticking out ears.

Bob! You called him by his name!

Least I could do.

Wince said...

The old expression “prick up your ears” is double entendre.

Jared "Rook" Isaacman, according to his NASA bio, grew up in New Jersey. Imagine the grief he got from Jersey kids in school.

At age 16 he founded a payment processing company in his parents' basement. It went public in 2020 and he left as CEO in 2025.

He's a skilled pilot.

He commanded the first all-civilian orbital spaceflight.

Graduated from Embry-Riddle in 2011 and an honorary doctorate from the same in 2024.

This guy is amazing! And now he has made NASA relevant again. To the moon!

And he's just one of the very, very talented people Trump has hired. Compare to him to the losers that Biden's auto-pen hired.

And did you see the Secretary of War carve up that dope Congressman yesterday? It was a beautiful thing.

There's a book to be written about Trump's second Cabinet.

"I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you! And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!" — President George W. Bush at Ground Zero on September 14, 2001.

Trump hears from everybody. Practically everybody has his number.

Estimated net worth of NASA administrator Jared Isaacman

AI, "As of April 2026, the estimated net worth of NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman is approximately $1.9 billion. Some assessments place the figure between $1.1 billion and $1.5 billion based on recent stock fluctuations and varying valuation methods."

The Mayor of NY, the Governor of CA and Bernie Sanders all want some of that money.

I had noticed Isaacman's ears in the last day or so. I immediately knew what Trump was talking about.

A good thing we're not flying 18 hours for talks. That means they won't be able to assassinate the Iranian negotiators as they fly back to Iran from Islamabad.

The Merzbau (c. 1923–1937) is the room-filling life's work of the Dada artist Kurt Schwitters in Hanover, a walk-in, abstract sculpture and an early example of Gesamtkunstwerk (total work of art). He transformed living spaces into a cave-like structure using trash, found objects, and geometric forms; it was destroyed in 1943. Reconstructions can be found, among other places, in the Sprengel Museum Hanover.

I grew up with ears like his, and I did have excellent hearing, but decades of side sleeping have flattened them...at last.

Definitely not Team of Rivals. Team of Rambos? Team of Rakshashas? Team of Raptors? CC, JSM

Oh. We can do that in any case.
