On June 3, Trump told Fox that James Madison, the 6th president, was the 1st to attend St. John's Church. (He was 4th president.)

Yesterday, Trump told the WSJ that John Adams, the 5th or 6th president, was the 1st to attend. (It was Madison. Adams was the 2nd president.)


May be worth noting in the interest of fairness that the sixth president was John Quincy Adams.


You know he just thinks they are the same person.

Wouldn’t think so? Goldman and Blackstone funding her opponent should help her if anything (she can spin positively to her supporters). And think that I read she still has like 5x as much money as the challenger

I have no proof of this, but I will suggest that maybe someone coached her to be a little more strategic with her opinions as she has been able to be more tactical with her criticisms and on point to a larger audience in my optic

Yeah I have no idea. Just saw a good ad of her and know she's been attacked pretty hard. Hasn't seen numbers or anything.

"We want to show our support," Robin Stites, who's been camped out since Monday, told The Oklahoman newspaper. "We feel like President Trump and his family have dedicated their lives to helping our country. Sacrificing a week of our lives is nothing for what Trump has done for us."

Holy shit, the WV air guard flew surveillance over DC with a PA SOF group doing forward air control, and Rep. Adam Kinzinger flew missions from Wisconsin over Minneapolis with ground control by Arkansas air guardsmen.

Somehow kinsinger doesn't think that that is surveillance of American citizens based on the resolution of the camera and its inability to discern faces or license plates from 4,000 to 20,000 ft. I hate to break it to him, but that is aerial surveillance. And with regard to facial recognition, there is no actual airborne offset facial recognition as angle of attack and image quality are compromised. So that's just a load of b******* and a smoke screen over an illegal act.

Been doing some political stuff. Spoke last night and was very disappointed in myself. Actually wrote stuff for another forum that happened tonight and felt really great about it. One more to go before a big vote.

Klobuchar removes herself from VP consideration. Told Biden it's the moment in time for a woman of color.

That's nice but seems also obvious that she knew it wasn't going to be her so she's allowed to go out on her own terms.

Tweet storm in the forecast? Twitter put a manipulated media tag on a post by Das Furor after he posted a fake CNN video.

She and the Biden’s are very close personally. I imagine both sides were involved.
On a scale of 1 to Chris Brown, how pissed is he?

Looks like Booker is probably going to beat McGrath. Does he stand a better chance than her of defeating Moscow Mitch?

Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum declared a civil emergency Thursday and announced a curfew near the arena where Trump plans to hold a campaign rally on Saturday.

Bynum cited recent “civil unrest,” expected “crowds in excess of 100,000” in the vicinity of the rally and opposition protests in his decision to place a federal exclusion zone for a six-block radius near the arena.

“I have received information from the Tulsa Police Department and other law enforcement agencies that shows that individuals from organized groups who have been involved in destructive and violent behavior in other States are planning to travel to the city of Tulsa for purposes of causing unrest in and around the rally,” Bynum wrote in the executive order.


CONSPIRACY THEORY PROPAGANDA to fuel the rally theme that the fix is in and that lawless bands of anarchists will roam the streets suppressing votes of average good citizens. Probably weaves in a sub-theme that mail-in ballots free up the troublemakers to head to the heartland.

Any protesters, anarchists, agitators, looters or lowlifes who are going to Oklahoma please understand, you will not be treated like you have been in New York, Seattle, or Minneapolis. It will be a much different scene!
