...and here is verse 4 of the Disappeared of Park Dale Lane (after a short posting hiatus). It's been streaming on Spotify since Monday

Here's verse 3:

Hegseth imposes new press restrictions, eyes greater Pentagon control over access “This is so dumb that I have a hard time believing it is true,” one House Republican said about the defense secretary’s new policy on the media.

"'This is so dumb that I have a hard time believing it is true,' he wrote..."

Visiting family on the east coast while waiting for the new song, "the Disappeared of Park Dale Lane" to drop on Spotify tomorrow (Monday)! Here is the first verse set to some local scenery...

Hey, I'm back. And I have a new song that I want you to hear. It is the new release at garylorenjahns.com/epk/epk.html. The title is "The Disappeared of Park Dale Lane." Please do me the kind favor of listening to it and telling me what you think of it. I will truly appreciate it!

With 60K other joyous, euphoric people Saturday in San Diego. @rbreich.bsky.social posted this on Substack that captures my feelings perfectly: 'True patriots confirm the good that we have in common. They seek to strengthen and celebrate the “We” in “We the people.”'

My Democratic colleagues and I have some serious questions about Trump’s obvious market manipulation. We’re not going to stop until we get answers.

Trump’s Encouragement of Stock Investors Draws Scrutiny Was the president manipulating the market with his comments, as his critics say, or reassuring Americans, as the White House maintains?

Trump tells his followers to buy, then reverses course on tariffs and the market surges. Insiders win. Retirees and middle-class investors who sold during the chaos?

They got screwed.

Who knew Trump would cave on tariffs and when? I’ve called for all Members of Congress to immediately disclose all trades in the market over the last week. We also need to ban members of Congress from trading stock, once and for all.

Bill Ackman on X: "The country is 100% behind the president on fixing a global system of tariffs that has disadvantaged the country. But, business is a confidence game and confidence depends on trust. President @realDonaldTrump has elevated the tariff issue to the most important geopolitical" / X The country is 100% behind the president on fixing a global system of tariffs that has disadvantaged the country. But, business is a confidence game and confidence depends on trust. President @realDonaldTrump has elevated the tariff issue to the most important geopolitical

Big wealthy Trump supporter sez: "The consequences for our country and ... citizens who have supported the president — in particular low-income consumers who are already under a huge amount of economic stress — are going to be severely negative. This is not what we voted for."

This tariff policy is stupid—and the American people know it. It’s a tax on things we use every day, crushing retirement accounts and consumer confidence. Congress must act. The Speaker can call a vote—or we can go around him with a discharge petition. Enough is enough.

Falling Oil Prices Are Coming at the Expense of U.S. Producers President Donald Trump inherited a strong energy sector, but his tariffs and other policies may squander it.

www.marketwatch.com/articles/tru... "This wasn’t the deal oil and gas ... donated more than $75 million to Trump’s campaign expected. They expected a return ... Instead, they’ve been blindsided by a policy U-turn and a White House now openly undermining the very sector that helped fuel its rise.

Artists are always the ones to speak truth to power. My new song "Thrive" is streaming now on Spotify (look for Gary Loren Jahns) 😀 🇺🇸🇺🇦

A sign is held up at a protest that reads “The Constitution Can’t Defend Itself Congress, Do Your Job!”

Too many members of Congress keep failing us. This isn’t just about bad nominees — it’s about treating this administration like the authoritarian threat it is and fighting back with every tool we’ve got: indivisible.org/campaign/tru...

Republicans scramble to shield their states from Trump’s next wave of tariffs Some GOP lawmakers are already planning to push for exemptions for key industries back home.

Republicans spent months promising to lower costs for everyday Americans. But instead, they keep pursuing an agenda to do the opposite.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Trump is famous for firing people. Up to now, it has been for insufficient loyalty. What will happen now with inexcusable incompetence? 🇺🇸🇺🇦

Wait. Pete Hegseth hasn’t resigned yet?

When the stakes are this high, incompetence is not an option.

Pete Hegseth should resign.

Mike Waltz should resign.
