AUGUST 14, 2026

A dear reader queried why I had not mentioned the brouhaha concerning President Trump’s surreptitious flight to England from Turkey, following the conclusion of the NATO Summit. I replied that I did not find it interesting. Allow me to explain.

President Trump and a couple of aides entered Air Force One in Ankara, Turkey, in front of the cameras. Once aboard, the President and those aides got into a catering truck, that then departed Air Force One, and went to service a U.S. military jet, which the President and his aides boarded. That military jet flew the President to England, while the press, White House staffers, and some Cabinet officials flew there on Air Force One.

Someone leaked the subterfuge to the press, which dutifully reported it, expressing outrage that the President was snuck onto another jet, while they were left on board as “decoys”, so as not to alert anyone watching that something was amiss. Oh, please.

Was–is–the President a target of Iran for assassination? Yes. Was Air Force One the likely target? No. And would the Secret Service and the U.S. military permitted Air Force One to take off knowing it was a target? No.

The Secret Service decided to take precautions for the President’s safe travel to England, for whatever reason. The President did not make this decision, the Secret Service made the decision.

So the President did not leave others behind to die. No one did die. And these hypersensitive, self-entitled, arrogant scribes need to get over themselves. You were wrong to reveal what happened. You are wrong to blame President Trump. And you exhibit an astounding amount of hubris to continually whine about what happened. You are not that important, in the great scheme of things. And you are definitely not interesting. Get over yourselves.

The inflation rate in July fell, slightly. Very good!

The U.S. Justice Department uncovered an immigration fraud ring, under which more than 1,000 Chinese nationals entered into sham marriages with American citizens. The going price for a sham marriage was $100,000.00.

The Trump Administration has halted all Medicaid funding for gender affirming care (i.e. genital mutilation surgery). GOOD!

Robert Gilman was arrested and imprisoned while China Joe was President. President Trump brought him home, joining over 100 other Americans Mr. Trump has managed to free from foreign incarceration. Welcome back!

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is leaving her post to concentrate on caring for her family. She recently gave birth to her 2nd child. Best wishes!

Has Puddin’head separated from her longtime (almost 10 years) hipster doofus “fiance”, Riley Roberts? Maybe. Most likely. We say “yes”.

Riley Roberts may be a hipster doofus, but he does not deserve to suffer through being with Puddin’head. Can you possibly imagine listening to her every night at home? Goodness!

“This [the Democrat Party] is a party that’s anti-law enforcement. It’s anti-military, it’s anti-business, it’s antisemitic, and it’s anti-American.  And that’s what the policy agenda is.”

–Senator David McCormick (R. Pa.). 

The Democrat Party insists it is not a socialist party. Yet when a petition was circulated in the U.S. House of Representatives affirming the superiority of capitalism and freedom over socialism, only 10 Democrats signed it; 202 Democrats refused.

An independent analysis by the CATO Institute of the proposed Democrat Socialists of America’s spending priorities reveals that the Marxists want to increase the federal budget by more than $200 trillion over the next 10 years. WOW! That is a lot of money.

In 2008, Barack Obama finished behind Hillary Clinton in the Indiana Democrat presidential primary, but he still picked up 34 delegates. BUT, Mr. Obama was only on the ballot due to his campaign’s submission of falsified signatures on voting petitions. He was only on the ballot due to voter fraud! Some people actually went to jail years later for this fraud. Huh. The Democrats are always telling us that there is no voter fraud, yet . . . .

Former Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall is suing the Trump Administration over the revocation of his security clearance. Of course he is. Maybe he should not have leaked classified information.

There will be a runoff election on August 25 in South Carolina, for the Republican Senate nomination. Newly appointed Senator Darline Nordone (R.) will face off against Representative Ralph Norman (R.).

Radical socialist Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong narrowly lost the Democrat primary to David Crowley, who previously had dropped out of the race. It appears that Thanksgiving, and other holidays, are safe in The Dairy State. For now.

“Knives will be out.”

–Democrat Socialist influencer Hasan Piker, expressing his anger over Francesca Hong’s loss.

Mr. Piker is not handling Miss Hong’s defeat well at all. He snarled at a reporter that her loss was the fault of “old people”, and that he wanted to “outlaw [Baby] Boomers and Thanksgiving”. Oh, my!

In Minnesota, radical Leftist Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan (D.) won the Democrat Senate nomination. She will face former football sideline reporter Michele Tafoya (R.). What is it with Minnesota?

“Ultimately, the question is, when I die and I stand before God and go through everything I did in my life, I don’t want to say I did it the easy way instead of the Shariah-compliant way.  Not because of fear but because of obligation.”

–U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D. Mi.).

Hmmm.  Sharia till I die.  I thought American Muslims were not interested in imposing Sharia law and culture. 

James Talarico’s (D. Tx.) U.S. Senate campaign is distancing itself from the “Republicans for Talarico” organization. It seems that all the members of “Republicans for Talarico” are Democrats.

The University of Michigan will no longer assign grades to freshman first semester students. All classes will be pass/fail, and however, the students perform, it will not account against them on their transcripts or class standings. The University claims that this will relieve stress on the students. Oh, my! Enrolling in college used to be an honor, a privilege, and an opportunity. Not it is a stressful experience? What creampuffs we are raising!

Lashawa Doyle has been arrested in Chatham County, Georgia 22 times since 2020. He has been arrested 8 times in 2026 alone. Lashawa Doyle was released about 2 weeks ago, and was immediately rearrested for attempted rape in a Savannah park. Huh. How is it that Lashawa Doyle keeps getting released from jail? Ask Judge Claire Williams, because she is the judge who keeps letting him out.

The Clarke County, Virginia Fair ends tomorrow with the always popular pig scramble, where very young children try and catch greased piglets. It is a longstanding fair tradition, and the winner gets to keep his piglet. But some people are perpetually aggrieved. There is a planned demonstration across the street from the fairgrounds, where angry Leftists will condemn the exploitation of pigs. Sigh.

Winchester and Frederick County, Virginia public schools are back in session. FOR GOODNESS SAKES, it is only August 14! It is Summer!

Zach Holland played collegiate golf, and sported a 2 handicap at his club, the WingHaven Club in O’Fallon, Missouri. Recently, Mr. Holland won a prize for a hole in one in a members only event at the club. But . . . he didn’t. In the early hours of the morning, Zach Holland went to the 4th hole, a par 3, at the club, and placed a ball in the cup. Later, as he was playing in the 1st foursome, he left the 3rd green early, telling his playing partners that he had to take a phone call, and would go ahead and tee off on 4, and wait for them to catch up. Zach Holland then pretended to discover his ball in the hole and celebrated with his playing partners on making a hole in one. His treachery was exposed when a normal review of security camera footage showed Zach Holland arriving early, and placing the ball in the hole.

Zach Holland is a cheat. Zach Holland cheated at golf, he cheated his fellow competitors, and he cheated his club. Absolutely disgraceful. He resigned from WingHaven, but that is not enough. Tarring and feathering may be too harsh, but an exile from golf for an extended period of time is certainly required. SHAME!

Congratulations to Jake Hall of Knoxville, Tennessee. Jake won the G Pro Tour Chatmoss Championship with a total score of -14 under par. That is some awesome golf! And for his efforts, Jake Hall has $20,000.00 in prize money.

The annual Chatmoss Championship is a staple and favorite on the G Pro Tour. Many thanks to Bill and Beth Sibbick, P.C. Wells, John Hart (the best greenskeeper in the Carolinas), Rickey David, the volunteers, and the members of the Chatmoss Country Club. Another successful event in the books.

Actor and former U.S. Representative Ben Jones (D. Ga.), most famous for his portrayal of Cooter on television’s Dukes of Hazzard, has died at age 84. R. I. P.
