The Sunday Bottom 5
A ranking of some things.
1. Strategies of the Great Commanders Series – War colleges everywhere getting notebooks out as President Trump attacks an Iran that wasn’t a threat to us in the first place, and is now brilliantly negotiating to reopen Strait of Hormuz, which was wide open before the war.
2. Centers For Disease Control – Federal agency that actually was able to set pace during international health crises obliged to send regrets to latest fiasco, the hantavirus outbreak…Now completely gutted, it has been reduced to issuing some press releases and watching the WHO take charge.
3. Gaylon For Congress…Vote Early, Vote Often – The 3-hole staple…Change is hard, but the status quo is destroying our country, with Republicans still appeasing Donald Trump, a war criminal and a man of zero moral or intellectual substance, while the Democrats do not offer any substantive opposition…It’s time for some common sense in these uncommon times…Get your wallets out and contribute today.
Editor’s Note: Gaylon is the Libertarian Party’s nominee for the US House from Colorado’s 2nd District. Click here to contribute to the campaign. Do this now.
4. Mountain West Baseball Tournament – Bracket for otherwise meaningless shindig refers to teams who lost game as “non-advancing team”…Good gravy, are so sensitive now that terms like “losers” and “losers bracket” can’t be used anymore???…Sunday Bottom 5 pollsters “pretty sure” they don’t know why they were looking at bracket in first place.
5. Associated Press Donald Trump Fact Check – During Trump’s first term, the AP kept a squadron of fact-checkers busy 24/7…For his second term, they are cowering and appeasing Trump like everyone else is, with so few fact-check stories you’d think Trump was a real president.

Extra, extra, read all about it.
In 1940 – Winston Churchill is appointed Great Britain’s prime minister by King George VI, following the resignation of Neville Chamberlain, who had served since 1937. Churchill immediately formed a war cabinet, as earlier that day, Germany had invaded Belgium, France, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Churchill served until the end of the war in Europe in 1945, and later served as prime minister from 1951-55.
In 1929 – Walter Hagen wins the British Open, defeating Johnny Farrell, shooting a final-round 75 to win by six strokes at Muirfield in Scotland. It was the fourth Open title for Hagen and his eleventh and final win in a major, and was the highest British Open finish for Farrell, who had won the US Open the year before. It was the ninth of 16 British Opens hosted by Muirfield, the first in 1892 and the most recent in 2013.
In 1975 – Chicago is at #1 on the Billboard 200 album chart of the second and final consecutive week with Chicago VIII. It was the eighth of 32 chart albums for the group, their fourth of five #1 albums, all consecutive. The album produced three chart singles, including the Top 10 hit Old Days, which peaked at #5.
