A couple of photos that Trump shared online.

Too many to list, too many not to worry about.

Trump thought it was a great idea to apply tariffs to India, forcing India to stop buying Russian oil.

01/27/26 update:  India has just signed a major trade agreement with the EU.

That was what the US had been trying to achieve for 40 years.

Trump sues IRS and Treasury Department for $10 billion over leaked tax records

he's a f***ing cancer.

An American submarine (exact location unknown) has had a crew member evacuated by helicopter (from Danish Arctic Command) for urgent medical treatment.  

The crew member was taken to the hospital in Nuuk (Greenland).  There he/she will receive free(!) medical care.  If there is need for a specialist beyond what that hospital can handle, he/she will be transferred to Copenhagen (also free medical care).

Now Trump has decided that it is necessary to send an American hospital ship to Greenland to provide  care for the locals.

File "sending the hospital ships" under "confabulation" - 

Despite a population of less than 60,000 in Greenland, there are 5 hospitals.  The main one in Nuuk, plus 4 smaller regional hospitals.

It is true that some settlements & villages are far from a hospital, but is that not also the case in Alaska?

It's all propaganda.

“Louisiana is currently facing a severe, multifaceted public health crisis, ranking among the lowest in the U.S. for overall health in 2026 due to extreme rates of chronic disease, pollution-related illnesses, and infectious disease outbreaks. Key issues include a “quademic” of surging respiratory illnesses (flu, COVID-19, RSV), high heart disease/cancer rates, and systemic healthcare access barriers.”

This are the circumstances under which the Governor of Louisiana is coordinating to send a Hospital Ship to Greenland.

That ‘quademic’ only has 3 elements? H’m… 😉

Flu, COVID-19, and RSV get lumped together because they are respiratory while Norovirus is its own separate hell.

What to watch tonight?   

The State of The Union address, or an old Three Stooges?

The Stooges.  Heaps more fun, and educational (modern cultural history) too. 

Doctors are warning people not to play the drinking game "Take a shot when the President lies" for the state of the union address.

The Kennedy Center. The Battleships. The Gold Coin. Now Trump’s Signature on the Dollar Bill

Niel Randi Updated Thu, March 26, 2026 

On Thursday, the U.S. Treasury announced that President Trump’s signature will appear on all new paper currency. The first $100 bills bearing his signature and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s will be printed in June, with other denominations to follow. It is the first time a sitting president’s signature has appeared on a bill in the history of U.S. paper money.

Bessent’s statement: “There is no more powerful way to recognize the historic achievements of our great country and President Donald J. Trump than U.S dollar bills bearing his name.”

That sentence is doing a lot of heavy lifting. But the announcement is doing something heavier. It is replacing the U.S. Treasurer’s signature — an unbroken line dating to 1861 — with the president’s own.

have I mentioned yet how much I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate

these people?

and the aholes who voted for them.

it's hard work hating 10's of millions of people, let me tell ya.

Obviously, putting your name on the currency like a monarch is the perfect way to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence from a monarchy.

New reason to look forward to a cashless economy?

Seems like a well-placed line using one of his favorite sharpies solves the problem and serves as a minor protest.

I shared your suggestion with my wife, who approves.

This morning's radio news (possibly listened to too early for clarity) seemed to indicate the signature on the currency was just for the 250th anniversary year?

Aside: it's the accumulation of "little stuff" that breaks my heart, though i know there are bigger, more fundamental problems. It's the signature on the money, the gold coin portrait, the gold coin reverse where the eagle holds only arrows and no olive branch, the mess in the oval office, the name on Everything, the portrait/banners on buildings, the east wing gone without consulting.... It all looks like other places, that we used to think were worse off than us.

So now that all $1 bills will have his name, he’ll collect a royalty each time one is is used. 

my advice is for people to stock up on cash.

I'm all over this

It would be pretty funny if most of the dollars in circulation ended up with his name redacted
