Word and other salads”

Make sense of this if you can.

The recepient of the FIFA “peace prize”

“When you look at what has happened to football in the United States, which is soccer in the United States, we seem to never call it [football] because we have a little bit of a conflict with another thing that’s called football,”

“But when you think about it, shouldn’t it really be called … this is football, there’s no question about it. We have to come up with another name for the NFL. It really doesn’t make sense when you think about it.”

Another name? Am sure he wants “Trump”” in the title.

(and anyone think Donald has ever watched a full soccer match?

Meanwhile, some fans are angry with the relatively easy draw the Americans have in the World Cup.

But why would anyone think FIFA, with their sterling reputation and clearly unbiased creation of a new “Peace” prize – complete with gold trophy & medal – just for Donald Trump, would rig a draw for the USA?

(And yes, the San Francisco Bay Area, home to Gavin Newsom, has been assigned some of the least interesting matches., without a single team in the top 15 playing at Levi’s Stadium

If Somalia could only come up with a really gaudy gold trophy and a prize for Trump he’d stop attacking their people tomorrow.

GOP Senator Thom Tillis told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins Sec. of Defense Pete Hegseth “is responsible for the processes that led to killing survivors from a boat strike in the Caribbean.” If only Tillis had warning Hegseth was not a good man. Oh wait, never mind..

So Donald finally found a handful of people willing to accept his Kennedy Center Honors. Who’s left? Seriously what’s he going to do next year? Other than maybe give one to Lara Trump? Or to Kash Patel’s girlfriend Alexis Wilkins?

Donald has fallen out with the architect of his new ballroom and instead hirede DC-based Shalom Baranes Associates,

Earlier in 2025 in Mr Baranes: “Advocating for the demolition of major structures on basis of stylistic preferences strikes me as callously irresponsible.”

This is going to end well..

Another reason not to watch CNN Just saw this headline for a video on their website: “See moment Trump wins new FIFA peace prize” Fixed it for you

“See moment Trump wins FIFA participation trophy.”

Sometimes NY Times gets it

“Second Strike Scrutiny Obscures Larger Question About Trump’s Boat Attacks Congress is focusing on two deaths in one strike. But nine other people died in that same attack, and the United States has killed 87 in all. Were any of those killings legal?”

Meanwhile Trump has decided that National Park admission will no longer be free on MLK Day and Juneteenth, but it wll be free on Trump’s brthday

On top of everything else awful about this, anyone thinkg Donald has ever volunterily visited a National Park?

(or hiked anywhere for that matter?)
