Guided Missile

Bryson's challenge is always played off the red tees, apart from when he played with Garcia. Nothing to do with Trump. They're trying to break 50, FFS.

Whatever anyone says, for a man of 78, Trump is a decent golfer, as can be seen from this great video, with Bryson De Chambeau. Trump has challenged Biden to a golf match, giving him 20 shots and if Biden wins, Trump will donate $1M to charity. I think his money is safe.

Here's a novel idea. How about people voting for a candidate based on their perceived ability to be President of the US, rather than based on their sex, race or religion? I know it's a wild thought...

What can be unburdened by what has been.

Bookies are never wrong:

Crowdstrike will go the same way as Joe Biden. They're deader than disco.

I have never liked Microsoft 365. I like my apps on my local computer.

Funniest mission statement ever:

WTF? Global internet outage. Sky News Down 911 Emergency Phones Out in the US All down to an anti virus program, Crowdstrike, taking Microsoft down. Anyone else affected? (I think it may be the end of the world as we know it)

Elon Musk ‘to give Trump campaign $45m a month’ after shooting

Meanwhile, Trumps week continues to get better:

I am the Sage of Sholing.

Truth Social now 42.38 up+11.49 (+37.20%)

Thought for the day:

Good try:

Voted Republican in the last election? Yeah, when he was 16 yrs old.

Senility:

1. Judicial Philosophy Trump's appointees are often described as originalists or textualists, meaning they interpret the Constitution according to its original meaning or the exact wording of the text. This approach is valued by those who believe in a limited role for the judiciary and a strict adherence to the framers' intentions. 2. Balance of Power By appointing conservative judges, Trump helped shift the ideological balance of the federal courts, including the Supreme Court. Supporters argue that this helps counteract what they see as judicial activism, where judges make rulings based on personal or political considerations rather than the law. 3. Longevity Federal judges, including Supreme Court justices, serve lifetime appointments. This means Trump's appointees will influence American law and policy for decades, ensuring a lasting legacy of conservative jurisprudence. 4. Rule of Law Proponents argue that Trump's judges uphold the rule of law by making decisions based on legal principles rather than policy preferences. They believe this creates a more predictable and stable legal environment. 5. Religious and Second Amendment Rights Many of Trump's judicial appointees have strong records on protecting religious freedoms and Second Amendment rights, which are key issues for many conservative and libertarian voters. 6. Economic Regulation Conservative judges often favour less government intervention in the economy. Supporters believe Trump's appointees will be more likely to strike down regulations they see as overreaching, thus promoting economic growth and individual enterprise. 7. Diversity of Thought While often critiqued for a lack of demographic diversity, Trump’s judicial appointments brought a diversity of thought and philosophy to the bench, which some argue is equally important in a balanced judiciary. 8. Accountability and Transparency Trump's judges are seen as more likely to support measures that increase government accountability and transparency, potentially leading to a more honest and efficient government.
