It reminded me of how my son says "nobody wants to watch this movie," when it's just him that doesn't want to watch the movie we picked.

POTUS went to the dentist this AM. I can't wait for a statement: "The dentist said President Trump has the finest teeth he's ever seen, perhaps the best set of teeth any president has ever had, far better than that loser, Joe Biden. Record-setting enamel, and the healthiest gums in history."

Remember, when Vance was caught spewing racist lies that Haitian immigrants were eating people's pets, he admitted that "if I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do."

Proudly, openly a liar.

Scarface (1983) - Crazy credits - IMDb Scarface (1983) - Crazy credits on IMDb: Additional scenes, Messages hidden in credits and more...

I have a pet theory about this that Trump watched Scarface one too many times in the 80s, and the opening crawl about Castro sending his criminals to Miami is burned into his brain: www.imdb.com/title/tt0086...

Southern Command had not been posting about the boat strikes ... until Nov. 14, when they began not only announcing the "lethal kinetic strikes" on X, but noting that each one came "at the direction of @SecWar Pete Hegseth."

Adult Obesity Prevalence Maps 23 states had an adult obesity prevalence at or above 35%. Prevalence varied by several factors.

His state has an obesity rate of 35-40% according to the CDC. So I'm not sure how that would play with his constituents. www.cdc.gov/obesity/data...

A Brief History Of Awful TV Shows About the Supreme Court The concept of โ€œThe West Wing for the Supreme Courtโ€ might be the only thing more upsetting than the actual Supreme Court.

Neal Katyal says he's working on a TV show that he describes as "The West Wing for the Supreme Court," and my question is, have We As A Society not suffered enough

My theory is that low-information, low-propensity Hispanic voters are now simply behaving like other groups of low-information, low-propensity independents. IOW, they're fickle and they're inclined to swing hard against whomever is in power.

An early-warning system for the political winds Look to these 10 questions Tuesday night to see if the political winds are calm, or if they may blow Republicans out of office next year.

In his Monday column, my colleague Charlie Cook listed a 10-item scorecard of races that would determine how well Democrats did on Tuesday. They went 10/10.
