yesterday from The Guardian: Trump faces backlash over reports US navy carrier could be named after him instead of Black war hero
The Trump administration has been accused of delivering a “slap in the face” to US military veterans after reports that a navy aircraft carrier set to honor a Black war hero may, instead, be named after Donald Trump.
The US navy had previously announced that the carrier under construction would be called the USS Doris Miller, in tribute to a sailor celebrated for his heroism during the attack on Pearl Harbor in the second world war.
But the navy is now working to rename the carrier, CNN reported, citing three sources familiar with internal discussions. Two of those sources said there have been conversations about renaming it to honor Trump, according to the network.
“This is a slap in the face to every war hero and every service member who has worn the uniform,” said Derrick Johnson, president of the NAACP civil rights group. “Doris Miller earned his place in American history through courage, sacrifice, and service,” added Johnson. “Donald Trump only wants to serve himself.”
The US navy declined to comment. When contacted for comment, the White House referred the Guardian to the Department of Defense, which declined to comment.
Miller, a navy cook, reportedly shot down four to six Japanese bombers at Pearl Harbor in 1941, despite no formal training on the weapons system he used. He died at sea, in 1943, with two-thirds of the crew lost to a Japanese torpedo aboard the Liscome Bay. Cuba Gooding Jr portrayed him in the 2001 film Pearl Harbor.
He was awarded the Navy Cross for his actions at Pearl Harbor. The citation reads: “While at the side of his Captain on the bridge of the battleship U.S.S. WEST VIRGINIA, Mess Attendant First Class Doris Miller, despite enemy strafing and bombing and in the face of a serious fire, assisted in moving his Captain, who had been mortally wounded, to a place of greater safety, and later manned and operated a machine gun directed at enemy Japanese attacking aircraft until ordered to leave the bridge.”
His family has long advocated for his award to be upgraded to a Medal of Honor.
No carrier in the US navy has ever been named for a sitting president, and reports of the plan to name this one after Trump prompted heavy criticism on Friday. [continues]
last week in Raw Story: ‘Sick’: Firestorm as ‘Cadet Bone Spurs’ dismisses disgruntled military families
People were outraged on Friday after President Donald Trump downplayed the reportedly poor conditions on the USS Abraham Lincoln, where service members have described a dire situation.
Trump was boarding Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland heading to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York when the press corps started asking him questions about the naval vessel and sailors on board.
“Family members of service members are concerned about conditions on the USS Lincoln,” one reporter said.
“That ship is moving. No, they’re not,” Trump responded, saying that the ship would be replaced with another ship.
“Has the deployment gone on too long?” The reporter asked.
“No, no, no. Not nearly long enough,” Trump said, not acknowledging military family members’ worries.
Political commentators and media experts reacted to the president’s remarks.
Internet personality and Chronicles associate editor Pedro L. Gonzalez reacted to Trump’s response.
“Trump doesn’t care about American troops at all,” Gonzalez wrote on X. “He thinks people who serve in the military are suckers. He thinks people who fight and die for this country are fools. I don’t know how you can hear Trump explicitly state that he’s unconcerned about these service members and their families, that he thinks they haven’t been deployed *long enough* in his idiotic war, and still conclude that he’s deeply concerned about American lives.” [continues]

Today in the Diner… Trump South Carolina Rally, Natalie Harp & Ken Paxton
Trump’s South Carolina rally goes off the rails, plus updates on Natalie Harp, Ken Paxton’s scandals, and James Talarico’s Texas strategy. ☕
Welcome back to the Diner. Today we are serving up a massive plate of political hypocrisy alongside a literal bowl of glass shards as I try to make ropa vieja without bleeding out. We dive into the latest absurdity from the Trump South Carolina rally, where he somehow claimed credit for the greatest economy in history while simultaneously butchering basic geography by trying to rename the Straits of Hormuz. The crowds are definitely catching on to the grift, even if the cameras try to hide it.
We also track the bizarre saga of Natalie Harp, who continues to shadow the campaign like a human printing press, while checking in on the legal battles brewing with Mark Elias and his efforts to secure injunctive relief before the midterms. Down in Texas, James Talarico is holding Ken Paxton accountable, but Democrats really need to stop playing with puppies and focus purely on Paxton’s endless list of corruption scandals.
Finally, we are looking at the Senate map, specifically Adam Hamilton making moves as a Methodist preacher in Kansas, and the ongoing fight to call out Dan Sullivan for backing corporate greed. We also touch on the Trump tariffs crashing into Minnesota and RFK rambling about alternative foods. Grab your coffee and settle in.

A great and heavy sadness here. Yesterday I checked on our baby robins, they were loud, getting bigger and Mama bird was not happy with me. Everything was fine and normal. Today, no sounds of little hungry birds. No sounds of Mama bird telling me to get the Hell out of her nest. No little ones poking beaks over the edge of their home. Something got in and killed the baby birds. Mama bird has booked it away.
I hope she builds her nest high up in a tree next time and not in my fig at eye level. To next year.

‘I Lost the Ability to Think’: The Mind-Control Drug Being Used to Rob Unsuspecting Tourists
The doctors began to suspect he had been drugged with a substance called scopolamine, also known as Devil’s Breath.
*Jeffrey Epstein wrote about these flowers.
Extracted from the seeds of the trumpet-shaped brugmansia flower — which blooms resplendent pinks, yellows, and whites across South America’s Andean regions — scopolamine is tasteless and odorless, and doses as small as 10 milligrams can induce a zombie-like state of compliance. When Mark came to, he discovered that his safe had been plundered for thousands of dollars in cash. Fernández’s theory is that Mark must have told the women the code to his safe in his pliant stupor.
A test showed no trace of scopolamine, but the drug is rapidly metabolized and is extremely difficult to identify even within a few hours after ingestion. Unlike some of the other substances used by Medellín’s burundangeras, women, some of whom are sex workers, who seduce men before drugging and robbing them, scopolamine “can lead to multiple organ failures and end in death,” Fernández says.
Two days after Mark was admitted to the hospital, he developed aspiration pneumonia.

Project 2025 Calls for Major Cuts to the US Nutrition Safety Net
Criticizing the USDA as “a major welfare agency,” the agenda takes issue with the agency’s long-standing nutrition programs that help feed millions of low-income Americans every year, including pregnant women, infants, and K-12 school children. It outlines policies that would substantially cut the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as food stamps, and the Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). It would also shrink federal support for universal school meal programs.
“We have really effective federal food assistance programs that are evidence-based, and there’s just a long history of seeking to continuously improve them,” said Stacy Dean, the former deputy undersecretary for food, nutrition, and consumer services at the USDA under the Biden administration. Project 2025’s plan would reverse that trajectory. “Proposing to reduce benefits to millions of people who are counting on food assistance for their basic well-being is alarming,” she said.
*Attacking food security; it’s in Project 2025.
If there’s anyone/group who knows what’s still left on the White Heritage Foundation’s to-do list, what are those things and how do we stop it?
Why are we picking a fight with Canada?
Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew calls the US president “very weak,” “erratic,” “irresponsible,” and “not to be trusted,” and urges Canadians to keep buying Canadian products even if American alcohol returns to liquor-store shelves.
