I don't know why people are angry about the Justice Department acting as Trump's personal lawyers in the E. Jean Carroll lawsuit.  The Defense Department performed his wife's boob job.

Phillies pitcher Zack Wheeler injured his finger while putting on his pants and may be out for the season.  It's always goofy in Philadelphia.

The NFL had a moment of silence before its opening game to protest police brutality and white fans booed.  For them I propose the WFL (White Football League).   Nothing but white players.  Not even any Samoan place kickers.  Enjoy.

Mosquitos driven out of the swamps by Hurricane Laura have killed hundreds of cattle and horses in Louisiana.  

The POW/MIA flag that used to fly over the White House has been removed, presumably to make room for a royal standard, and relocated to a place on the South Lawn/covid picnic area.  I like flags that don't get downgraded.

America's Mare marked the nineteenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks by attacking Black Lives Matter and NFL players who kneel for the national anthem.  I guess he's over it.

Chip Carter smoked dope with Willie Nelson on the White House roof and his father the president  knew.  Must impeach!

The many trials for covid vaccines and drugs have created a monkey shortage in the US.  I wish that was a joke, because I have four amazing punchlines.  Wait, five.

Maryland never joined the Confederacy, but "Maryland, My Maryland" is about to join the dumpster of history.   Its lyrics are much more incendiary than those of "Dixie," and it won't be played before the Preakness at Pimlico next month.  Its melody will live on, however, since Trump personally saved Christmas and we can still sing "O Tannenbaum."  Perhaps the state will replace it with 50 Cent's "A Baltimore Love Thing."  Perhaps not.

The New York Daily News reports that Trump's Treasury Department is withholding millions of dollars intended for first responders affected by the original 9/11.   Not police, of course, just FDNY; blue lives matter.  Treasury's response was bureaucratic gibberish about tax ID numbers.  The more likely explanation is WALL.

There is a big fire in Beirut.  In Lesbos a refugee camp burned down.  On the Pacific Coast massive fires have killed at least ten people.  I think the best response came from Lisa at All Hat No Cattle:

Sleep well.
