So The Donald is off to Detroit today to speak at a black church. Let’s skip over the questions of why he waited so long and why he needed questions in advance. I think it’s much more interesting to see how all this minority outreach is working for him. Keeping Up

This week I’ve gone with one of my favorite summer seasonals–Upslope’s Thai Style IPA. Thai IPA blends herbs, spices, and Belgian yeast with traditional IPA hops. It’s a great summer beer to drink with spicy food. Check out my review.

So you thought The Donald was the only Trump that had it out for the press? No, no, no. Melanie is doing her share of their noble work by suing the press, too. I wonder how that conversation went? True Love

The Donald had some day yesterday–quick trip to Mexico without the dirty press? Check. Accused of lying by the Mexican president? Check. Throw red meat to the base to top off the day? Check. The long-awaited (or dreaded?) immigration speech really was a barn-burner. For over an hour he fired up the xenophobes and racists with dire descriptions of the living hell that is the US with a broken immigration system. I almost don’t know where to start, so I thought I’d check in with America’s long-standing welcome wagon. Open Arms

Looks like the Russians took The Donald up on his challenge to hack into the election. Credit where credit is due–he’s already having an impact on foreign affairs, and he hasn’t even been elected yet! Somehow, I think this isn’t the last we’ve heard of this issue. Firewall

I thought about just posting a quote of Trump’s reaction to Anthony Weiner’s latest sexting scandal. You can’t really improve on that for sheer comedic value. I mean–yeah–Weiner is…let’s leave it at reprehensible. But can The Donald really believe that Weiner somehow threatens national security? Can he really believe voters will eat that up? Unless… Fire Down Below

Megyn Kelly is probably not looking forward to the Trumptopia either. First Facebook falls for a fake news story about her, then she’s got to face the curse of The Donald. Wherever…
The Donald may twist in the wind about anything policy-related, but he’s been remarkably consistent about one thing–how much he hates the media. Make that the crooked, dishonest, lying, scum of the earth media, of course. To help beat back this wicked scourge, he’s promised to “open up” libel laws so he can sue the living crap out of them. Here’s a quick peek into that. Trumptopia.

As Sunday is the typical time for many Americans to engage in some introspection–at least until football season kicks off–let’s see what Snow Orange–oops–I mean The Donald is up to today. Mirror, Mirror
I never imagined I’d get to feel like a combat reporter while writing political satire. I gotta thank The Donald for that. After hearing him describe the constant violence and horror of black neighborhoods, I feel like I need a helmet and flak jacket just to write about them. Looking back, I can’t believe I survived living in DC years ago. One of my friends even took me to her church for lunch. For lunch! If I’d have known how brave that was of me, I’d have put in for a medal or something. Anyway, here’s my take on day-to-day life in the combat zone–Why Not?
