Notes from around the human experience.
USA! USA! America is a rogue state right now. We don’t think you can argue with that. So far in 2026, we have kidnapped the leader of Venezuela and assassinated the leader of Iran. These are not the actions of a country hell-bent on being at peace.
Dry, Technical Matter: Nicolas Maduro’s kidnapping followed numerous attacks at sea on Venezuelan shipping, resulting in dozens of deaths, deaths that were nothing more than executions at sea of people who had not been tried and convicted of anything.
Oh Yeah: Our attack on Iran will long puzzle objective observers. They posed no real threat to us; we merely didn’t like what they were doing.
How The Mighty Have Fallen: America is a shell of her former self. President Donald Trump is a man of zero moral or intellectual substance; we are being governed accordingly. And we’re taking it. From the witlessness of Canada as our 51st state, to the tragedy of fellow citizens being killed by masked federal agents, to the cruelty of the memes depicting the Obamas as primates, Donald Trump is getting a free pass from the media, from Congress, and from you and me – we the people – for ignorance on a scale that is almost beyond comprehension.
The Bottom Line: We have nobody to blame but ourselves because we elected this. A hundred years from now, all new people – including Americans, if there are any left – will look back and wonder why this country decided to appease an ignorant bully, a childish, unread man whose only real talent is bullying and overpowering his way to what he wants. We deserve better than this, but we have to start caring on Election Day.

In 1991 – An amateur video of Los Angeles police beating a motorist named Rodney King is recorded At first, no one was interested in the video, though KTLA-TV in Los Angeles eventually aired it. Four officers were arrested, and in April 1992 three were acquitted, with the jury unable to reach a verdict on the fourth, which resulted in several days of rioting in Los Angeles. King died in 2012, found at the bottom of a swimming pool.
In 1920 – The Montreal Canadiens establish a new NHL record for most goals in a game in a 16-3 win over the Quebec Bulldogs at the Quebec Arena in Quebec City. The Canadiens broke their own record of 14 goals they had set in January, and their record still stands. That season the Canadiens also established an NHL record for most goals per game with 5.38, a mark broken by the 1983-84 Edmonton Oilers, who scored 5.58 goals per game.
In 2018 – Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line are at #1 on Billboard’s country chart – then and now known as the Hot Country Songs chart – for the 14th of a Billboard major singles chart record of 50 consecutive weeks with Meant To Be. The song broke the country and major singles chart record of 34 weeks by Sam Hunt’s Body Like a Back Road and the record still stands. The song also peaked at #2 on the Hot 100 and remains the only #1 song by Rexha and was the sixth and most recent country #1 for Florida Georgia Line.
