With jet lag almost gone, today will be the first truly enjoyable day back in Socal. I have some project work (I’m still part time through the end of the month) and a board meeting, so it won’t be a day of leisure. Lots going on in the world, though:

• The PGA Championship starts today in Charlotte NC. A year ago it was in Louisville and I was on the course. And Scotty Scheffler was busy getting arrested. Still surreal.
• Convict Donny is in the midst of his Pay Me Tour of the middle east. Planes, hotels, crypto…Donny is willing to accept any form of payment/bribe. He’s open for business.
• Congress is busy, working hard to take money from poor Americans and give it to billionaires. And run up the national debt another few trillion. Gotta hand it to the Republicans, they’re consistent. Consistently evil.
• SCOTUS is getting a chance today to opine on birthright citizenship, a direct product of the Constitution. Their decision will be telling.
• It has become clear that Biden and his inner circle did the country a grave disservice by hiding Biden’s frailty during the 2024 election season. Harris’ loss can be attributed largely to Democratic “leadership” and the decision to hide Biden’ actual state. What a horrible, horrible mistake.
• ICE continues to distinguish themselves as The Gestapo resurrected. Of all the things Donny’s regime is doing, this is the worst. Kidnapping citizens, including children, and shipping them off to prison in other countries with no recourse, no due process, is insane. Intolerable. We should have riots every day over this.
• JD Vance is on his way to Rome to attend Pope Leo’s inaugural mass. Another terrible idea.
• Bruce Springsteen Calls Trump Administration ‘Corrupt, Incompetent, and Treasonous’ Good for The Boss!
• Otega Oweh will let Big Blue Nation know if he’s staying at UK within two weeks. I hope he does, but we’ll be fine either way.
• Khraungbin is playing in San Diego this weekend (at Wonderfront), and we’ll be there!

So…yeah, a lot happening. Most of it bad, but we have no choice but to move ahead and deal with it as best we can.
