She was absent from the state Democratic conventionCalifornia state Democrats held their annual statewide convention this past weekend. All of the Democratic hopefuls for governor showed up. Except one. Kamala Harris. Granted, she has said that she will make up her mind at the end of the summer if she is going to run for president, run for governor, or not seek elected office. But come on, if she were serious about running for governor, wouldn’t she have shown up with everybody else?

Good luck with thatSo, yesterday the big news was that the US Court of International Trade … I’ve never heard of it, but apparently it’s a thing … ruled that Trump can’t use the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act to slap tariffs on countries around the world. No big surprise there. There is no economic emergency, except in Trump’s imagination, and trade shit is a Congressional responsibility.

What will Trump sell next? Hmm … I’m a tad bit confused. Seems everybody is up in arms because Trump pardoned a coupla reality show stars who were convicted and serving time for bank fraud and tax evasion. Seems Trump is showing no respect for the law. Not sure why anyone is surprised by that. Trump has never respected the law. Here’s what I think people should be more concerned about: the pardon that Trump just sold for $1 million.

Trump has nullified the courtsTrump’s so-called Big Beautiful bill passed. And while we have all been stressing about cuts to Medicaid and the effect on the deficit of all the tax cuts contained in the bill, somebody sneaked in a sentence that basically renders the courts powerless to stop Trump. Bet you weren’t expecting that, were you? No one was. But the bill was the perfect place to hide a little bomb like that.

He is gone from DC and Truth SocialHey, has anyone seen Elon Musk lately? The reason I ask is that here in New Jersey, we have an election for governor coming up this year and in all of the Democratic candidate television ads, they promise to protect us from Trump and Musk. The Musk thing just sounds so last year or at least last January. He hasn’t been around Washington since his car company almost went belly up.

He thinks American companies should absorb tariff costsJust for giggles, I want to know how many times people have tried to explain to Trump how tariffs work. Ya know, exactly how dumb is he? We know that in Trump’s mind, when he jacks up tariffs, the affected countries grudgingly pay the tariffs or beg for a deal for lower tariffs. Meanwhile, all that juicy tariff money goes into an account to be used to lower taxes or prices or some such shit. Most importantly, nothing happens to consumer prices.

The White House is looking into suspending the writ of habeas corpusWith all of the outrage over Trump’s new grift … I mean gift … I mean plane … we seem to have lost sight of another, more important outrage — Stephen Miller, everyone’s favorite vampire, claims that the White House … meaning him … is looking into suspending the writ of habeas corpus. The writ of habeas corpus is just a fancy way of saying due process. The right of a defendant to challenge their incarceration.

Whatever happened to Made in America? I suppose by now you have heard about the $400 million bribe … sorry, airplane … the Qatari royal family is offering Trump. And Trump, being the child that he is, wants it. Because he is into instant gratification. He doesn’t want to wait for the two new planes being built by Boeing specifically to transport and protect a president, that have run into the usual cost and time overruns. Nope, Trump wants his new plane now now now.
