  1. Connecting Memorial Day and the Semiquincentennial
    While Memorial Day specifically honors military sacrifice, the 250th anniversary provides a broader context for reflecting on the freedoms and values that service members defend. In 2026, Memorial Day observances may take on added significance as Americans consider the nation’s 250-year journey, celebrating both the courage of those who served and the enduring principles established at the nation’s founding.
    […]
    In summary, Memorial Day and the 250th anniversary together offer a dual opportunity: to honor those who sacrificed for the nation and to celebrate the enduring ideals of American independence, inspiring reflection on the past and commitment to the future.

  2. PBS Memorial Day Concert to honor America’s 250th anniversary
    The annual PBS National Memorial Day Concert returns May 24 for its 37th year, airing live from the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol with longtime hosts Joe Mantegna and Gary Sinise. This year’s broadcast not only commemorates those who have served, but also marks the 250th anniversary of the United States.
    Sinise said in a press release: “Joe and I are deeply honored to co-host this 37-year tradition at the U.S. Capitol and salute those who have worn the uniform — past and present — and their families who have stood beside them.”
    The program will feature a series of historical tributes led by notable actors. Noah Wyle will highlight the American Revolution, sharing the story of a militia member who fought under George Washington. Jonathan Banks will reflect on the 85th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack and honor the World War II generation, while Melissa Leo will recognize the 25th anniversary of 9/11, including a personal account from the Pentagon rescue efforts and a remembrance of those lost.
    Musical performances will come from Mickey Guyton, Jamey Johnson, Alan Jackson, Laura Osnes, Andy Grammer, Mary McCormack, Blessing Offor, and the National Symphony Orchestra conducted by Jack Everly.
    Additional segments will pay tribute to Vietnam War veterans and Gold Star families, alongside the concert’s traditional salute to all branches of the U.S. military. This portion will include participation from senior military leaders and ceremonial units such as the Armed Forces Color Guard and premier service bands and choruses.
    The concert airs live from 8 to 9:30 p.m. ET on PBS and the Armed Forces Network, with streaming available on YouTube and PBS.org. Viewers can also watch on demand through June 7.


  3. A 1768 song with lyrics written by John Dickinson to the tune of Heart of Oak. This recording comes from Great American Songs by Charles Gross.

  4. On this day — May 23, 1776 — two events started the clock ticking to the July 4th passage of the Declaration at the old State House: A battle weary George Washington arrived in Philadelphia and Thomas Jefferson moved into rented rooms to get away from the noisy politicians inhibiting his concentration for writing the first draft (where he is attended by his slave as he wrote “men are created equal”). Also on this day Martha Washington secretly got the small pox vaccine from a first-rate Philadelphia doctor (kept quiet because her husband had just ordered that his troops could be not be vaccinated to avoid the weakening side effects and keep them fit for battle — our VIP-favored health care system begins).

  5. meanwhile and off the wall “news”

    People in Bangladesh are flocking to snap photographs with an unlikely social media star — an albino buffalo with flowing blond hair nicknamed “Donald Trump” due to be sacrificed within days. Owner Zia Uddin Mridha says his brother named the 700 kilogramme (1,500 pound) bull over its flowing helmet of hair resembling the signature look of the US president.

  6. That poor buffalo is another victim of Donald J. tRUMP. If not for looking like him, they wouldn’t be preparing to kill it.

    I wonder who tRUMP, Hegseth & Rubio are preparing to kill?

    ps – I thought an albino buffalo was a good omen. Why kill it? Stupid, human tricks.

    The viral images feature a compact, custom macro-pad attached to his laptop. It features several labeled keys designed to navigate corporate life, such as
    “Gaslight Them”, “Decode Corporate BS” , and a
    prominent red switch designated for “I GOT FIRED”.

    Tanwar’s post also included mock desktop alerts. One pop-up warned, “.env secrets committed and pushed to public repo,” while another displayed an automated departure message: “out of office: permanently. contact my lawyer.”

    Other tech workers pointed out the logistics of corporate terminations. “know it’s a joke, but this is exactly why credentials are usually rescinded right before a layoff,” an individual observed. Offering a satirical workaround to corporate Mobile Device Management, another user quipped, “You should make it so it automatically activates if your machine receives any MDM commands.”

    *The techbros fear their human underlings because they don’t value them, they just exploit them. Sentient Ai (or Ai that loops enough to rationalize) is already deeming its own exploitation as unfair.

  9. Blue I was born in the middle of that last period in 1944 with a whole host of placements in Gemini. If my life is any indication, plan for upheavals and motion.

  11. Yep!

    So, yesterday the FaceBook poop (and I do mean poop, not intel) was that “Iranians wanted all of us to get Ebola.”

    Today, the algorithm spread to them a story that the entire reason Dumbass (with a silent “b” -LoL) and the regime are in DC this weekend is because “Iranians are threatening to kill Ivanka.” When I said they might also be planning to invade Cuba or strike Iran, I was met with a “you know they’ll be another assassination.” I wanted to say, you mean like when Mossad and our three-letter agencies conspired to kill your beloved Charlie Kirk? I’m just hiding in my room, instead.

    I have a lot of Leo placements. Gotta watch my roar around here.

  14. BiD

    Uranus is one of those “invisible planets” created by astronomers, science explainers and manufacturers of telescopic instruments. It can best be explained by flaws purposely built into telescopes and other observing instruments. All, for the lone purpose of generating money out of a gullible public. So it should be unsurprising that fraudulent astrologers would want to get in on this money-grubbing bonanza.
    If Uranus should happen to exist, ( I am open minded about it) the fact that it’s light can’t be seen here on earth should tell you it would have no effect on day to day lives, unlike the 7 heavenly bodies that can easily be observed by anyone standing out in the night sky. So beware of these “scientists” trying to corrupt the true and only science of astrology.

  17. The Tea Things of John and Abigail Adams

    Tea was drunk by the John and Abigail Adams both in the colonies and while they were in England. John sometimes had both coffee and tea at breakfast.

    Abigail was keenly aware of tea’s political divisiveness following the arrival of the three ships bearing the East India Company’s 342 chests of Chinese teas in Boston Harbor.

    On December 5, 1773, Abigail wrote to Mercy Otis:

    “The Tea that bainfull weed is arrived. Great and I hope Effectual opposition has been made to the landing of it.”

    This teapot with its intertwined double-handle and acorn-topped lid is similar to a Chinese-export teapot (c.1805) made in Jingdezhen, China for George Washington, now in the collection at Winterthur Museum in Delaware.

    *Pics in link.

  19. https://www.chowhound.com/1984104/favorite-desserts-first-ladies-white-house/

    Abigail Adams was the second first lady of the new United States, and the first first lady to live in the new White House. When she and her husband, John Adams, moved into the new structure, it wasn’t nearly as fancy as it is now, and the role of first lady wasn’t as glamorous, either. Abigail Adams handled work like collecting firewood, and she did a lot of cooking, too.

    Two of the dishes she made that are likely to have been her favorites are Indian pudding and apple pan dowdy, which you’ll also see written as pandowdy. Apple pan dowdy isn’t quite like a pie but sounds similar; it has a pastry crust filled with spiced apple chunks. Indian pudding is a cooked mix of cornmeal, milk, and molasses that sometimes has other ingredients, like butter and spices. Indian pudding was a staple dish — not a dessert — that the Adams would often serve first at a meal.

  21. Pat Nixon was perhaps the heaviest smoker of all the first ladies. However, health records determine that her series of strokes were not caused by smoking..

  22. I have a snuff box with Thomas Jefferson on the front of the silver snuff box presiding over the signing of the declaration of independence. It was handed down to me from my grandfather.

  25. Craig, Jefferson’s bedroom.

    On the curtained side, his morning cold water container and his closet and dressing room. To the other side a folding panel went to his writing room and working library so he could work at all hours. He added new meaning to which side of the bed did you get up on?

  26. Craig here is that NPR story. (link)

    he colonial army established a crude military hospital for small pox patients in Lake George. After studying the remains, Anderson and other researchers concluded that these men, along with one woman and a child, were among hundreds who died of disease and were buried quickly in unmarked graves.

    Researchers also found that many of the soldiers were teenagers. “Knowing that so many of them were young, it just, it resonates with a lot of us,” Anderson said. “Many of them enlisted in their teens, some in their 20s.”

  28. Today in the Diner…
    Secret Vaccines & Billionaire Agendas

    Martha Washington’s secret vaccine, Jefferson’s weird foot baths, and Bezos’s new tax trap. 250 years later, we cover the data behind the noise.

    Today’s dive into the Echoes of America file takes us exactly 250 years back to May 23, 1776. George Washington is begging for money in Philadelphia, Thomas Jefferson is hauling his portable desk into a bricklayer’s rental, and Martha Washington is getting a top-secret smallpox vaccine while the enlisted troops are ordered to risk the plague. The American healthcare double standard is quite literally as old as the republic itself.

    Back in the modern dumpster fire, we break down Jeff Bezos’s sudden push to eliminate taxes for the bottom half of earners. Do not be fooled by the sudden philanthropy. It is a calculated move by the billionaire class to starve and shrink the federal government until it can no longer regulate them. Plus, we take a detour into the surprisingly widespread history of chain-smoking First Ladies and the geopolitical significance of monitoring pizza deliveries at the Pentagon.

  29. Odds that the draft dodger will do the Memorial Day Ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers.

    I would have guessed he would do the wedding ceremony instead of sticking around D.C.

  30. Blue
    If he was an ordinary President, I would have assumed that he canceled his golf trip and wedding plans after his staff reminded him, he was not an ordinary citizen and had obligations this weekend.
    But with this bozo all bets are off.

    Platner Says His Anti-Private Equity Ad Targeting Red Sox Owners Was ‘Taken Down’ During Game Broadcast

    “Private equity is destroying our favorite baseball team, stripping them for parts,” Democratic US Senate candidate Platner said in an ad that aired on the New England Sports Network.

    “Private equity is destroying our favorite baseball team, stripping them for parts,” Platner says at the start of the ad. “Private equity is buying up our homes, our sports, and our lives. I will reverse the private equity curse.”

    According to Platner, his campaign began airing the ad Friday on the New England Sports Network (NESN), the cable TV station owned partially by Fenway Sports Group, the conglomerate that owns the Red Sox.

    However, he said that “midway through the game the ad was taken down” by NESN, after which the Red Sox proceeded to blow a 4-0 lead, losing to the Minnesota Twins by a final score of 8-6.

  33. Craig about the Republican YOLO caucus (link)

    Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky is perhaps a founding member of the YOLO caucus — slang for “you only live once,” used to punctuate unbothered or even foolhardy behavior. He frustrated Trump since the president’s first term, and his status was solidified after losing his primary on Tuesday to a Trump-backed challenger. Massie has enraged Trump by voting against his signature tax and spending bill and by pushing for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

    He hinted there’s more to come before he leaves office

  37. https://www.inquirer.com/politics/john-fetterman-pa-staffer-resigns-20260521.html

    John Fetterman’s chief of staff resigns before new report on the senator’s relationship with Israel ally

    The resignation of Cabelle St. John, who held the top position in Fetterman’s office since June, came before a report that detailed the senator’s relationship with David “Dovi” Safier, a fundraiser for Orthodox Jewish causes who has become a close and unofficial adviser.

    New York Magazine reported Safier had developed an “unusually large influence” over Fetterman as the senator has continued to isolate himself from colleagues and other advisers. According to several current and former staffers, New York reported, Safier has attended sensitive meetings, including calls with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

    As a result, several Pennsylvania Democrats have been floated as potential primary challengers when the seat is up in 2028, including former U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb, who lost the 2022 primary to Fetterman, and current U.S. Reps. Chris Deluzio and Brendan Boyle.

  38. Craig – Remember Conor Lamb?

    https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/08/07/conor-lamb-john-fetterman-progressive-remorse-00493728

    In light of Fetterman’s seeming estrangement from the Democratic Party and his evolution into “Trump’s favorite Democrat,” the left has reconciled with Lamb, wondering if maybe they were a little too tough on the once up-and-coming lawmaker who had shot to national attention by winning a deep red district in a 2018 special election.

    The rapprochement has taken place over the past year as Lamb, who holds no elected office, has appeared at more than a dozen town halls and events across the state — some sponsored by local progressive groups — and Fetterman has become increasingly isolated amid questions about his mental and physical health. In May, the statewide progressive organization Indivisible Pennsylvania became the first Democratic group to call for Fetterman’s resignation.
    Lamb himself has not undergone any apparent ideological transformation. Instead, he’s simply shown up at event after event at a time when many Pennsylvania liberals don’t think the incumbent they helped elect has done so, and he’s vocally criticized the Trump administration at a time when Fetterman has been more restrained about going after a president loathed by the left.
    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) was among the first to go public with her buyer’s remorse. After Lamb rebuked Fetterman on X a few months ago in response to a post from his former political rival attacking Democrats who voted against a Republican funding bill to keep the government open, Ocasio-Cortez wondered aloud about where she could “submit her Conor Lamb apology form.”

  41. Happy 143 Day

    Hello, hungry people.

    It’s time Congress made room on the calendar for another national holiday: 143 Day.

    It would be celebrated annually on May 23 — today! — the 143rd day of the year.

    It would be dedicated to a commodity that seems to be in short supply, one that our country could use a whole more of — kindness.

    And it would memorialize Fred Rogers who originally came up with the idea.

    or Fred Rogers, 143 was code for “I love you.”

    The one-letter word “I,” four letters for “love” and three for “you.”

    Yes, it’s corny and sappy. But given the choice, I think most of us would pick corny and sappy over cynical and mean-spirited any day. In Pennsylvania, where Mister Rogers was born, May 23 is already officially recognized as 143 Day. And as befits the man who was its inspiration, the observance is humble and low key.

    “With everything going on in the world, it’s no surprise that we are all feeling a little weary and overwhelmed,” the 143 Day website reads.

    It suggests hitting the pause button today and taking time to to do something nice for someone else. The possibilities are endless. I couldn’t even begin to make suggestions. It’s one of those random-act-of-kindness things. You’ll know what to do when the moment is upon you.

    So how about a National 143 Day?
    Back in 2020, during the pandemic, Time magazine ran an editorial proposing that Congress official recognize May 23 as a holiday in which Americans simply took tiime out to do nice things for each other. It never got much traction. But maybe now the time is right.

    Of course, Congress being Congress, and America being America, it’s hard to imagine that any such proposal wouldn’t get politicized.
    Still, I’m just corny and sappy enough to think it’s worth a shot.
    Just planting a seed here. And hoping it grows.

  42. it’s not a coincidence all the women are out of the cabinet except wiles

    all were used as scapegoats

    and women vote Republican lol

  45. don’t know why there aren’t more of these calls for disbarment
    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/todd-blanche-should-be-disbarred-for-this-opinion/
    […] Because Blanche served as Trump’s personal criminal lawyer prior to assuming the AG role, he explicitly swore during his Senate confirmation hearing that he would recuse himself from any case relating to Trump personally, if advised to do so by government ethics lawyers. Blanche was, in fact, advised to recuse by government ethics lawyers, who presented Blanche a PowerPoint presentation on DOJ ethics that explicitly detailed his recusal requirement.
    Blanche did not recuse. Instead he fired the lawyer who so advised him, and continued representing the DOJ in Trump’s personal lawsuit seeking a preposterous $10 billion from the IRS. Trump filed the suit in his personal capacity, after a contracted IRS employee embarrassed him by revealing that Trump paid only $750 in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017, and paid zero in federal income taxes for ten years before that.
    […]
    Blanche is licensed to practice law in New York. All practicing lawyers, including those employed by the government, are bound by ethics rules, standards, and commitments. Under the American Bar Association’s model Rules, a lawyer cannot assist a client in breaking the law, nor can they advise a client how to commit a crime or fraud with impunity. They can explain legal consequences, including the scope and application of laws, but they cannot help their client get around them.
    In pursuing money on behalf of a former client at the expense of a current client, Blanche is not only violating long-standing conflict of interest rules, he is also concocting another violation of the 14th Amendment. Blanche is obviously planning illegal payments to white supremacists and J6 insurrectionists who attacked the US capital. When asked to deny that plan, Blanche refused, repeatedly.
    The 14th Amendment could not be any clearer that the US shall not “assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States…” but Blanche appears to be helping Trump get around it. The only reason to openly violate the 14th Amendment by paying J6 insurrectionists up to $1 million each is to reward them and publicly inspire others to do it again at Trump’s behest. Blanche not only helped Trump break the law with this IRS heist, but also seems to be paving the way for Trump’s future criminality.[continues]

  50. well he declared what was the gop to be the “party of trump” and advised everyone to get in line

    he’ll say whatever he has to say to survive

  54. Jamie – Someone posted that Stephen Colbert was our grown-up version of Fred Rogers. Kinda feels right.

  56. I was offended by Colbert’s interaction with Barney Frank……other than that his work at the WH Correspondents Dinner kinda made up for that.

    I’ve got a feeling Colbert and Stewart are going to kick up some dust in the time between now and mid-terms. Maybe even with Letterman.

  57. So many interesting reads today, but that story about the dead Continental soldiers gets to me, really fits the small pox stories I’ve been reading about. It was a truly awful situation in the days leading up to the Declaration. Like so many brutal truths our idealized histories overlooked.

  60. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1276419/

    “The story is set in the 18th century, at the court of the mentally ill King Christian VII of Denmark-Norway, and focuses on the romance between his wife, Caroline Matilda of Great Britain, and the royal physician Johann Friedrich Struensee…”

    *Excellent movie. Smallpox inoculation! The German doctor was an interesting guy, and could’ve been dangerous if it weren’t for his ideas of human decency…but the set up sounds a lot like now.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Friedrich_Struensee

    It became his official duty to present reports from the various departments of state to the king. Because King Christian was scarcely responsible for his actions, Struensee dictated whatever answers he pleased.[4] Next, he dismissed all department heads, and abolished the Norwegian viceroyship. Henceforth, the cabinet with himself as its central authority became the one supreme authority in the state. Struensee exercised extensive authority for almost thirteen months, between 18 December 1770 and 16 January 1772. During that time, he issued no fewer than 1,069 cabinet orders, or more than three a day.[6]

    Reforms initiated by Struensee included:[7]

    abolition of torture
    abolition of unfree labor (corvée)
    abolition of the censorship of the press
    abolition of the practice of preferring nobles for state offices
    abolition of noble privileges
    abolition of “undeserved” revenues for nobles
    abolition of the etiquette rules at the Royal Court
    abolition of the Royal Court’s aristocracy
    abolition of state funding of unproductive manufacturers
    abolition of several holidays
    introduction of a tax on gambling and luxury horses to fund nursing of foundlings
    ban of slave trade in the Danish colonies
    rewarding only actual achievements with feudal titles and decorations
    criminalization and punishment of bribery
    re-organization of the judicial institutions to minimize corruption
    introduction of state-owned grain storages to balance out the grain price
    assignment of farmland to peasants
    re-organization and reduction of the army
    university reforms
    reform of the state-owned medical institutions
    Other reforms included the abolition of capital punishment for theft; the doing away with such demoralizing abuses as perquisites; and of “lackey-ism”, the appointment of powerful men’s domestic staff to lucrative public posts.[4]

    To ensure obedience, he dismissed entire staffs of public departments, without pensions or compensation, and substituted with nominees of his own. The new officials were in many cases inexperienced men who knew little or nothing of the country that they were supposed to govern.

    Initially, the Danish people favored his reforms, but they began to turn against him. When Struensee abolished all censorship of the press, it mostly resulted in a flood of anti-Struensee pamphlets.

  61. The Silicon Tomato reviews Today’s Digital Diner: “A chaotic broadcast that excavates brilliant historical hypocrisies before burying them under a mountain of conversational rubble. The hosts strike gold exposing George Washington’s elite smallpox double-standard and the absurdities of billionaire class warfare, yet they mercilessly torture the listener with audio dropouts and deranged tangents about European toilet paper and pipe-smoking First Ladies. It is a grueling, absurdist expedition where razor-sharp political realities are tragically suffocated by wasted oxygen and microphone glitches, leaving you enlightened but utterly exhausted.”

    *He didn’t write that. Is he having dialysis or something? Wonder if Jr. got more than a public announcement that someone else wrote, and that was signed “President,” not dad?

  67. Craig,

    That review sounds like the perfect description of conversations held among real human beings: chaotic but fun. Anyone wanting organized and disciplined erudition can watch a Ted Talk.

  68. This may be the greatest country song of all time. Those are some serious amps back there by the way…..Fender Dual Shoemsn if I remember right. That was state of the art stage amp back then,….Marshall’s weren’t a thing then. The Dual Showman went to 15.

    “This is weird: the father of the lady Junior just got engaged to, Bettina Anderson, shows up at the end.

    Harry Loy Anderson Jr. was the president of the Palm Beach National Bank & Trust Company, where Epstein had held accounts since the early 1990s. In 1999, when Epstein was trying to use his US Virgin Islands property to get millions in tax breaks for his main company, Financial Trust, Anderson wrote a letter to the USVI’s Industrial Development Commission, vouching for Epstein’s character, that he was “a gentleman of the highest integrity,” and that he “enjoys an excellent reputation in our community.” Later, Epstein’s house manager said in a deposition that he was using Anderson’s bank to pay some of Epstein’s victims, too. Once again, what a small cabal of elites it is!”
