“Yankee Doodle” was a traditional song (Roud 4501) that predated the American Revolution and was adapted by both British and Americans to mock one another in the eighteenth century. So we felt it was a fitting tune to repurpose on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the birth of the United States, and the No Kings musical protests occurring this weekend which happens to be the 80th birthday of Donald Trump.
The word ‘doodle’ likely comes from German ‘Dƶdel’ meaning fool or simpleton or nob. It may also reference Low German ‘dudel’ = playing music badly. So it works whether you like or hate this parody arrangement! The earliest known version of the lyrics was the 1750s when it was sung during the Seven Years’ War (or “French and Indian War” in the colonies), and it had become a patriotic song for the USA by 1781, when new verses mentioned a certain George Washington, who also crops up in ours as a bringer of political or national liberty (though, of course, also a slaveholder and denier of liberty).

And for a good little primer on the backstory of the song from the “Kennedy Center” which features briefly in the graphics: https://www.kennedy-center.org/educat…
Caught this on local TV when they started. As if JFK was watching.
Amen to that
“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.”
Trump ordered a tarp covering the removal. But here’s a peep of a letter coming down.
ECHOES OF AMERICA: DAILY ALMANAC Date: June 13, 1776 Weather: Ninety degrees of suffocating, flies-choked humidity mocks their wool suits. The Vibe: Panic reigns. Terrified delegates lock doors, arming militias to hunt local traitors and stamp out subversion.
Poor Richard says: “Distrust & caution are the parents of security.”
Coming today in the Echoes Of America: “Our First Secret Agent”
TRUMP’S MELTING BASE
āBlue-collar white voters are, for the first time, seriously doubting Mr. Trumpās handling of the economy. A review of polling by The New York Times shows an extraordinary swing on that issue among white voters without college degrees between his first midterm election and now. Then, working-class white voters approved of his management of the economy by margins of 30 percentage points or even more. Now, recent polls show them disapproving by anywhere from 14 to more than 30 points.ā
Craig, that “P” wasn’t just for peep. It was the final letter/blow.
Before the CIA, there was Robert R. Livingston.
250 years ago today, Congress launched a secret spy ring to intercept mail and hunt traitors.

What a whiny-ass! What good does covering the removal have? When the tarp comes down, his name is erased. He will live with knowledge that he can and will be erased for the rest of his day(s). At one point, over 40,000 were watching on YouTube.
The Kennedy Center was LIBERATED on 6/12/26. Happy early birthday, Dumbass!
New country/western song hook for Silas to chew on:
āPay no attention to the man behind the Hurtinā
Playing with AI can be fun. Probably wasted a lot of water, but got a family crest out of it.

The goon needs to lose in whatever area he can be dealt it, Little things and Big things. The name on the bldg is a big thing. He feels it most deeply as an unacceptable loss, which that monstrous ego cannot abide. All the little losses add up to a āLoss by 1000 cuts.ā

Signs and Symbols are important. They communicate in a way that words don’t.

Still one of my favorite series. Also the book which I discovered at one of the presidential libraries we visited.
Turn: Washington’s Spies (originally titled Turn and stylized as TURŠ: Washington’s Spies) is an American period drama television series based on Alexander Rose’s book Washington’s Spies: The Story of America’s First Spy Ring (2007),[3] a history of the Culper Ring.[4] The series originally aired on the AMC network for four seasons, from April 6, 2014, to August 12, 2017.[5]
Plot
The story covers events from 1776 to 1781 and features a farmer from Setauket, New York and his childhood friends. They form an unlikely group of spies called the Culper Ring, which eventually helps to turn the tide during the American Revolutionary War.[3] The series begins in October 1776, shortly after British victories, recapturing of Long Island and the Port of New York for the Crown, leaving General George Washington’s army in dire straits.

Today in the Diner… Trump Kennedy Center Tarp & Cracker Barrel Voters
The Kennedy Center puts a tarp over Trump’s name removal, the Cracker Barrel vs Whole Foods voter gap widens, and Mayor Pete targets the SCOTUS.
Welcome back to the Digital Diner, where the dumpster fire of reality is always on the menu. Today we are digging into the ultimate political metaphor: a giant tarp deployed at the Kennedy Center just to hide the fact that they are scraping Donald’s name off the wall. Naturally, a judge ordered it torn down by noon. You cannot redact reality, folks, no matter how much canvas you buy.
Meanwhile, we are diving deep into the weeds with the Cook Political Report’s favorite metric: the Cracker Barrel versus Whole Foods voting gap. It turns out rural country ham and urban organic kale tell us exactly where the political fault lines are fracturing. Plus, Greg Abbott brings a live elephant to the Texas GOP convention, and we check in on Mayor Pete Buttigieg making the case for a 13-seat Supreme Court.
Finally, stick around for another installment of Echoes of America. We are looking back 250 years to the birth of America’s very first counter-intelligence operation under Robert Livingston. Because long before we were arguing about grocery prices, we were intercepting British mail to keep the revolution alive.

“Fast-Track” IPO Inclusion: Broad funds like the Invesco QQQ ETF (QQQ) or Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) can now incorporate newly listed mega-cap companies almost immediately after they go public.
Increased Volatility: Critics argue that adding unseasoned or unprofitable companies to major indices may increase portfolio volatility and alter historical risk profiles.
Activist Governance: Institutional benchmarks are increasingly becoming active shapers of the market rather than purely passive reflections, which has caused concern among major asset owners and local government comptrollers regarding fiduciary risks
*Part of that name sounds kinda South African N&zi, dudnāt it?
On 12 June 2026, U.S. president Donald Trump announced that Guerrero was killed in a “swift and lethal kinetic strike” at the age of 42, conducted by the U.S. Southern Command in coordination with the Venezuelan government, describing him as a “terrorist”.[16][17] The following day, the Venezuelan government confirmed that Guerrero was killed during a joint operation in BolĆvar, during which intelligence was exchanged between the two countries. During the operation, clashes occurred with gang members located in the area.
Kinetic attacks involve physical force or cause physical effects such as explosions, equipment damage or infrastructure disruption.
*Kinetic is such a sanitized word.
The name Rusthenford (frequently spelled Rustherford or Rutherford) is of Scottish origin. It is a variant of the habitational surname “Rutherford,” which is tied to a historic Scottish border clan name.

Updated Weather Report Calls For 100-Degree Heat, Multiple T-Storms At UFC White House
The āClawā is large enough to encompass the Octagon, but the event is still being held outside. If Sundayās weather delivers rain, lightning, or even extreme humidity it could have a great impact on the fights themselves.
*Its not nice to fool Mother Nature.
lol 100F is terrible ahahahahaha
best news i heard all day, ty
Tod Maffin our “comfort Canadian” had his readers take a census of what the US thinks of Canada. The whole thing is 16 pages long, but makes fun reading.
Is everyone in the regime going to be at the UFC sweat lodge? Not in a secured ballroom/bunker? Are they going to call this on account of weather, or is something planned to go down so theyāll finally get their false flag?
WHOLE FOODS VS CRACKER BARREL
We dive into the weeds on the Cook Report cultural gap. Trump bleeds the blue-collar white vote. The Cracker Barrel constituency jumps ship. Democrats just need to show up and claim the country ham crowd.
Presenting the award for best performance in stand-up comedy, Sykes joked, “There’s some people pissed off that a queer Black woman is up here doing the job of two mediocre white guys … but first I want to give them some love.”
Sykes began roasting the nominees, starting with Bill Maher. “Bill Maher, you give us so much,” she said, “but I would love a little less.” The camera caught Maher staring at the stage with a slight smile, seemingly unsure how to react. “Just try less,” Sykes continued
“He was like, ‘What was that about?’ And I was like, ‘It’s a joke, Bill.’ He’s like, ‘Well, I mean, it wasn’t even a joke.’ I said, ‘Oh, no, I heard laughter. It was clearly a joke.'”
Sykes imitated Maher as he continued to argue with her about the bit, which prompted Sykes to tell him, “See? You’re doing exactly what we said in the joke. We need less of this. You’re, you’re epitomizing the joke. Less of this.” Sykes chuckled: “He didn’t care for it.”

The UFCās Biggest Cards Nearly Always Include Women. Except at Freedom 250.
Dana White says he tried but couldnāt get it done. Others say, āThatās not a glitch.ā
āBefore 2016, it was a rarity to ever hear a fighter who had any political opinions or any political awareness,ā Fowlkes said. āEvery once in a while, youād get somebody who had strong feelings, and they were almost always Republicanāor anarchist.ā
āBut fighters just loved Trump. It baffled me because these fighters have worked their whole lives to be able to spot a fake tough guy or a bully. And hereās one, but you love him.ā
āWhen the promotion stages its most politically symbolic event ever, and women vanish from the card, thatās not a glitch,ā Jenn McClearen, author of Fighting Visibility: Sports Media and Female Athletes in the UFC, said. āIt tells you whose presence is considered essential to the story being told on that lawn and whose is optional.ā
āPeople still say women canāt fight, that they suck, that when women fight is when they go and get a sandwich,ā Kedzie said. āItās a pervasive attitude that can be proven wrong. But White hasnāt put a stop to that, and he holds the court of public opinion. He has such a lock on the media and could change that story himself by saying, āWomen can fight, shut the fuck up.ā But he hasnāt.ā
Consider what happened with Bud Light. In 2023, after igniting conservative ire with its partnership with trans TikTok personality Dylan Mulvaney, the beer partnered with the UFC in an apparent effort to win back the right. It was then that Ben Fowlkes, a sports writer and host of the Co-Main Event podcast, said that White carried out an aggressive campaign to rehabilitate Bud Lightās image. āHe essentially provided Anheuser Busch the cover they were looking for, with somebody to go over to the right-wing crowd and tell them, āCome back over, you can buy Bud Light again, itās safe.ā And it worked.ā
When he says stuff about equality in UFC for men and women, in a sense, yes, itās true. But in the sense that they treat them equally badly.ā
In one sense, Kedzie said that the absence of women fighting on the South Lawn came as something of a relief. āNot because women canāt be just as fascist as the men,ā she said. But ultimately, opting to compete at the White House, with its overwhelming sheen of corruption and disrepute, was a āmoral choice.ā
āI have absolutely no respect for any fighter that competes on that card,ā she noted, āor for anybody who corners somebody who competes on that card.ā
ā¦the outsized attention given to arguably more extraneous logistics, such as the bathrooms designed to mimic a stay at the āfucking Four Seasons.ā
*If you want to start prepping for a cocktail in August.
It will take another Court Order to get the tarp down.
When the so-called leader of the system is focused on āgetting overā on the system, itās an irreconcilable dilemma. ļ»æ
If you go to Mount Vernon, you can buy the rye whiskey still distilled there.
A life-lesson I learned from a reformed inmate is āgetting overā on the system is the primary focus of unreformed inmates.
They need to start using the tarp as a movie screen for Epstein/tRUMP pics, unflattering pics of Dumbass, etc.
It can be projected from a distance. The tarp will come down.
Heās such a fragile baby.
Just another redaction.
*Nukes? Nah, Ivankerās bunker island isnāt ready yet. Does he care about her that much anymore?
āHe didnāt want to win the peace.ā
A guy in a cherry picker couldāve pried his name offa that building. In plain view of everyone, and at less cost than erecting scaffolding, a guy in a cherry picker couldāve done the jobā¦speaking of cherries.
āTrump lies constantly and he is desperate for the Iran war to be over.
So desperate that he’s giving Iran
20 TIMES more money than Obama did, and getting NOTHING in return, except an open strait that was ALREADY OPEN and that Iran will now charge a ‘maintenance fee’ for to all ships. Well done, bozo!”

AG Ken Paxton blocked from suing Democratic donor platform ActBlue
Paxton filed a lawsuit against ActBlue in late April, claiming the platform allows improper donations from people outside the United States and those who have already hit the mandated donor limits.
Attorney General Ken Paxton must drop his lawsuit against ActBlue, the political donations platform primarily used by Democratic candidates, a Boston federal judge ruled Thursday in a decision that cited the Texas Republicanās āwell-known history of filing retaliatory lawsuits.ā
ActBlue sued Paxton in early May, alleging that the series of investigations and litigation he had initiated against the company was politically motivated.
District Judge Richard Gaylore Stearns agreed, alluding to the fact that Paxton resumed an investigation into ActBlue the day after Democratic state Rep. James Talarico announced he had raised $2.5 million within 24 hours of appearing on late night host Stephen Colbertās show.
Under Thursdayās ruling, Paxton cannot continue to litigate its state court case against ActBlue, or bring any other related state lawsuits against the company.
The ruling comes after a Wednesday hearing of the U.S. House Administration Committee focused on āpreventing fraudulent donations.ā As Republicans on the panel probed ActBlueās CEO, Democrats unsuccessfully tried to subpoena Paxton for ignoring their queries about similar allegations lodged against WinRed, the GOPās equivalent platform. The motion to order Paxton before the panel failed on a party-line vote.

“Yankee Doodle” was a traditional song (Roud 4501) that predated the American Revolution and was adapted by both British and Americans to mock one another in the eighteenth century. So we felt it was a fitting tune to repurpose on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the birth of the United States, and the No Kings musical protests occurring this weekend which happens to be the 80th birthday of Donald Trump.
The word ‘doodle’ likely comes from German ‘Dƶdel’ meaning fool or simpleton or nob. It may also reference Low German ‘dudel’ = playing music badly. So it works whether you like or hate this parody arrangement! The earliest known version of the lyrics was the 1750s when it was sung during the Seven Years’ War (or “French and Indian War” in the colonies), and it had become a patriotic song for the USA by 1781, when new verses mentioned a certain George Washington, who also crops up in ours as a bringer of political or national liberty (though, of course, also a slaveholder and denier of liberty).

Is everyone in the regime going to be at the UFC sweat lodge? Not in a secured ballroom/bunker? Are they going to call this on account of weather, or is something planned to go down so theyāll finally get their false flag?

The UFCās Biggest Cards Nearly Always Include Women. Except at Freedom 250.
Dana White says he tried but couldnāt get it done. Others say, āThatās not a glitch.ā
āBefore 2016, it was a rarity to ever hear a fighter who had any political opinions or any political awareness,ā Fowlkes said. āEvery once in a while, youād get somebody who had strong feelings, and they were almost always Republicanāor anarchist.ā
āBut fighters just loved Trump. It baffled me because these fighters have worked their whole lives to be able to spot a fake tough guy or a bully. And hereās one, but you love him.ā
āWhen the promotion stages its most politically symbolic event ever, and women vanish from the card, thatās not a glitch,ā Jenn McClearen, author of Fighting Visibility: Sports Media and Female Athletes in the UFC, said. āIt tells you whose presence is considered essential to the story being told on that lawn and whose is optional.ā
āPeople still say women canāt fight, that they suck, that when women fight is when they go and get a sandwich,ā Kedzie said. āItās a pervasive attitude that can be proven wrong. But White hasnāt put a stop to that, and he holds the court of public opinion. He has such a lock on the media and could change that story himself by saying, āWomen can fight, shut the fuck up.ā But he hasnāt.ā
Consider what happened with Bud Light. In 2023, after igniting conservative ire with its partnership with trans TikTok personality Dylan Mulvaney, the beer partnered with the UFC in an apparent effort to win back the right. It was then that Ben Fowlkes, a sports writer and host of the Co-Main Event podcast, said that White carried out an aggressive campaign to rehabilitate Bud Lightās image. āHe essentially provided Anheuser Busch the cover they were looking for, with somebody to go over to the right-wing crowd and tell them, āCome back over, you can buy Bud Light again, itās safe.ā And it worked.ā
When he says stuff about equality in UFC for men and women, in a sense, yes, itās true. But in the sense that they treat them equally badly.ā
Kedzie agreed, calling the UFCās notoriously low fighter pay āpoverty wages.ā
In one sense, Kedzie said that the absence of women fighting on the South Lawn came as something of a relief. āNot because women canāt be just as fascist as the men,ā she said. But ultimately, opting to compete at the White House, with its overwhelming sheen of corruption and disrepute, was a āmoral choice.ā
āI have absolutely no respect for any fighter that competes on that card,ā she noted, āor for anybody who corners somebody who competes on that card.ā
ā¦the outsized attention given to arguably more extraneous logistics, such as the bathrooms designed to mimic a stay at the āfucking Four Seasons.ā
*If you want to start prepping for a cocktail in August.
It will take another Court Order to get the tarp down.
When the so-called leader of the system is focused on āgetting overā on the system, itās an irreconcilable dilemma. ļ»æ
If you go to Mount Vernon, you can buy the rye whiskey still distilled there.
A life-lesson I learned from a reformed inmate is āgetting overā on the system is the primary focus of unreformed inmates.
They need to start using the tarp as a movie screen for Epstein/tRUMP pics, unflattering pics of Dumbass, etc.
It can be projected from a distance. The tarp will come down.
Heās such a fragile baby.
Just another redaction.
*Nukes? Nah, Ivankerās bunker island isnāt ready yet. Does he care about her that much anymore?

A guy in a cherry picker couldāve pried his name offa that building. In plain view of everyone, and at less cost than erecting scaffolding, a guy in a cherry picker couldāve done the jobā¦speaking of cherries.
āTrump lies constantly and he is desperate for the Iran war to be over.
So desperate that he’s giving Iran
20 TIMES more money than Obama did, and getting NOTHING in return, except an open strait that was ALREADY OPEN and that Iran will now charge a ‘maintenance fee’ for to all ships. Well done, bozo!”

AG Ken Paxton blocked from suing Democratic donor platform ActBlue
Paxton filed a lawsuit against ActBlue in late April, claiming the platform allows improper donations from people outside the United States and those who have already hit the mandated donor limits.
Attorney General Ken Paxton must drop his lawsuit against ActBlue, the political donations platform primarily used by Democratic candidates, a Boston federal judge ruled Thursday in a decision that cited the Texas Republicanās āwell-known history of filing retaliatory lawsuits.ā
ActBlue sued Paxton in early May, alleging that the series of investigations and litigation he had initiated against the company was politically motivated.
District Judge Richard Gaylore Stearns agreed, alluding to the fact that Paxton resumed an investigation into ActBlue the day after Democratic state Rep. James Talarico announced he had raised $2.5 million within 24 hours of appearing on late night host Stephen Colbertās show.
Under Thursdayās ruling, Paxton cannot continue to litigate its state court case against ActBlue, or bring any other related state lawsuits against the company.
The ruling comes after a Wednesday hearing of the U.S. House Administration Committee focused on āpreventing fraudulent donations.ā As Republicans on the panel probed ActBlueās CEO, Democrats unsuccessfully tried to subpoena Paxton for ignoring their queries about similar allegations lodged against WinRed, the GOPās equivalent platform. The motion to order Paxton before the panel failed on a party-line vote.
