I took the USSS from France to NYC in 1961. I have a cup with its photo. It was very fast and so very bumpy, but a kind steward got me outside in the wind and cajoled me into thinking I could do it.

That's fantastic!

Somehow the fate of the SS United States, built at the high tide of the American Republic, seems an appropriate metaphor for the fate of the county whose name she carries.

Thanks so much for the NPR piece on the SS United States! I don't know how I missed that on the 20th - fascinating story!

"Repeated efforts to rehabilitate the S.S. United States over the decades have all failed and she will soon be towed to waters off the coast of Florida and sunken as a manmade reef."

A fine sentence from David Kurtz that also describes this moment in American history. Let's do what we can now to build our resources for a fresh start in January 2029.

I commented here a few days ago about tRump tasking Hillbilly with the unenviable job of squiring Gaetz around the Senate Building to vainly secure support for the rapist, but obviously to no avail.

Hillbilly is finding out REAL SOON the humiliating and humbling status of a tRump "employee", akin to being assigned the job of taking out the garbage on a daily basis.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving POS.

The Trump Clown show can't be complete without court jester RFK, Jr. No doubt Trump will egg him on in cabinet meetings to expound on health and wellness while Elon and the cabinet members snicker and mouth "brainworm" to each other.

I entered the U.S. for the first time on the USSS in December 1953.

Pete Hegseth AND Tulsi Gabbard are on the Hot Seats (plural).

About 4 days ago MICHAEL ISIKOFF told his stark story trailing Tulsi Gabbards on her 2017 Agit-Prop trip to Syria funded by a Pro-Bashar al-Assad U.S. group.

Michael work is free on Spy Talk. Michael busted Tulsi. I recommend Michael as a witness at Gabbard's cross- examintion at her Senate Hearing. R Senators will cooperate.

You do Trump news very well. Is nothing else happening in DC?
