The Sunday Bottom 5
A ranking of some things.
1. Pope Leo – The only American world leader talking any sense right now.
2. Donald Trump – The idiocy and witlessness continue…Nobody should be surprised, of course, because Trump is a man of zero moral or intellectual substance we are being governed accordingly…A hundred years from now all new people will wonder why he was appeased.
3. USA! USA! – The 3-hole staple…Sunday Bottom 5 pollsters “strongly suspect” 2026 midterms will either right America’s ship or seal her destruction…America cannot survive perpetual war and Donald Trump’s ignorance and appeasement by Congress and voters with impunity.
4. Gaylon For Congress – Vote early and vote often, as Gaylon is the Libertarian Party’s nominee from the 2nd Congressional District…As usual the Peace Candidate, Gaylon calls for an end to all wars of aggression and all wars not declared by Congress….Click here to visit the campaign website…Send money.
5. Trump Administration Fact Check – Click here for the latest nonsense from Donald Trump…Courtesy of the AP.
