Mary, you left out the absurdist part of the Ghislaine Maxwell – Todd Blanche “meeting” – the over-the-top unctuous praise for “Mr. Trump” The DOJ interview had all the air of a hostage tape disguised as etiquette lessons. Every bit was rehearsed, clipped and careful: Trump was not merely absolved but exalted, “a perfect gentleman.”

This was eerily familiar—like those Cabinet meetings where officials took turns praising Trump’s leadership…each one trying to outdo the other. Guess what? It works. What came across wasn’t sincerity, but an oh-so-obvious ploy. Does anyone think her performance was pardon-worthy? I guess it only takes ONE, right?

Correction: The Orange Dictator TRIED to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook - however, he has no legal right to do so and she has confirmed she's there to stay.

Mary, when I share on Facebook are you paywalled? I typically pull a section from your writing and put in intro and I know one friend subscribed. Heard from someone today who said he couldn't read you on my FB posts. Hmm

Sometimes there is a 24 hour paywall

Are we just being toughened up…the real boom will be lowered after Nov ‘26?

Expect it . Or….make it rough on the ‘opposition’ boo every appearance( including The Leavitt twit ) write, call, protest, post , support our people if you can. Everyone complicit is due reprimand , an accompanying cell, barred from ever holding office anywhere again, and fines.

If you’re happy with this …we’ll remember your names!

Fairly soon most conversations need to be about what we do when ALL relevant laws are ignored or changed by those in power. The oldest on SCOTUS could be forced out and youngsters could pack the former Supreme Court into a rubber stamp one until Climate Change does what it's going to do. Little optimism today and I haven't read a word of news.

Mary, as you know I normally post everything you write as a new Note. However last night the geniuses at Substack changed something and now the only way I can comment or share is from your email. The options to like, comment, share, or copy the link that used to be at the bottom of the page in the app are gone. I messaged Support but don't have high hopes of hearing back. So that's why I'm not sharing this as a new Note. Hopefully someone at Substack pulls their head out of their ass and fixes this soon.

So glad Marz is on the mend. Did the surgeon offer to comp you for all the additional vet visits caused by him?

Anxious to see Marz. Getting so I can’t stand the sight of Trump. He clearly needs psychological help and apparently medical as well. I simply cannot believe still some 40 percent of Americans approve of him, but raged about Biden being unfit.

I’m catching up with your newsletters over the last 3 days having stepped away briefly tending to family so I was thrilled your 4-legged family member Marz is healing nicely. This makes the household vibes energized with good vibes. I’m also feeling energized to see that others are noting the obvious decline of tRump. His physical and mental decline cannot be swept under the covers at this point.

It never stops, does it? It just never stops... I also nicked it.

I’m sorry if this seems like a stupid question to you, but did no one else but you pick up Maxwell’s comments you mentioned on pages 318-320 of the transcript?

I've not seen it mentioned, although after the basics, I've ignored the details. So many ways to get sick to my stomach these days.
