Trump should not be allowed to own the term "radical"
Who is the radical in this race?
Project 2025 is radical. Its good that weve got that on the radar and people are starting to wonder about it. We need to put meat on the bones and define who the real radical is.
Targeting your political opponents with federal law enforcement is radical
Having a loyalty test for federal employees is radical
Purging the federal bureaucracy is radical
Rounding up undocumented immigrants and putting them in camps is radical
Making the use of stop-and-frisk a prerequisite for federal LE funding is radical
Forcing the homeless to choose between tent cities and jail is radical
Feel free to add to the list.
Trump is the radical. Trump is the freak. Trump is insane.
Proceed accordingly.
Today's new Trump word is "imboten"

A five-point gain from Trump +6 to Trump +1 likely voters.
Just days after the president abandoned his campaign under pressure from party leaders, the poll showed Democrats rallying behind Ms. Harris as the presumptive nominee, with only 14 percent saying they would prefer another option. An overwhelming 70 percent of Democratic voters said they wanted the party to speedily consolidate behind her rather than engage in a more competitive and drawn-out process.
Her swift reassembling of the Democratic coalition appeared to help narrow Mr. Trumps significant advantage over Mr. Biden of only a few weeks ago. Ms. Harris was receiving 93 percent support from Democrats, the same share that Mr. Trump was getting from Republicans.
Overall, Mr. Trump leads Ms. Harris 48 percent to 47 percent among likely voters in a head-to-head match. That is a marked improvement for Democrats when compared to the Times/Siena poll in early July that showed Mr. Biden behind by six percentage points, in the aftermath of the poor debate performance that eventually drove him from the race.

I wonder if well get a chance to wash his soiled garments again.
From 2020:
Over the years, the Israeli leader has developed a reputation among the staff at the U.S. presidents guesthouse for bringing special cargo on his trips to Washington: bags and suitcases full of dirty laundry, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter. The clothes are cleaned for the prime minister free of charge by the U.S. staff, a perk that is available to all foreign leaders but sparingly taken advantage of given the short stays of busy heads of state.
The Netanyahus are the only ones who bring actual suitcases of dirty laundry for us to clean, said one U.S. official, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the details of a foreign leaders visits. After multiple trips, it became clear this was intentional.
Israeli officials denied that Netanyahu overuses his American hosts laundry services, calling the allegations absurd, but they acknowledged that he has been the target of laundry-related accusations in the past. In 2016, Netanyahu sued his own office and Israels attorney general in an effort to prevent the release of his laundry bills under the countrys freedom of information act. The judge sided with Netanyahu, and the details of his laundry bills remain secret pending an appeal in the Supreme Court.

California - John Mayall
?si=Z8VR64GAaA45sA0bBritish blues legend John Mayall dies at 90
https://x.com/sterlewine/status/1815910576020742651?s=61&t=EcvWMxA1syxTf8zqNwq-IAAmong the fans and organizations posting condolences was the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which was set to induct him into its ranks in October. Although he was not part of the standard voting round, the halls committee had selected him this year to be ushered in under the Musical Influence Award, along with Alexis Korner and Big Mama Thornton.
No cause of death was given in the familys initial statement, although it did refer to Mayalls recent health setbacks. It is with heavy hearts that we bear the news that John Mayall passed away peacefully in his California home yesterday, July 22, 2024, surrounded by his loving family, the statement read. Health issues that forced John to end his epic touring career have finally led to peace for one of this worlds greatest road warriors.
Mayall, whose keening, jazz-inflected tenor vocals reflected the heavy influence of the American singer Mose Allison, fronted his group known variously as the Blues Breakers or Bluebreakers in its earliest incarnation on keyboards, harmonica and occasional guitar, and penned dozens of original songs. Among the players he brought into his bands were such legends as Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Taylor, Jack Bruce, John McVie, Mick Fleetwood and Aynsley Dunbar.
