- SPECIAL COMMENT: The day after he attacked Israel and mocked its Prime Minister and praised Hezbollah, Trump was astonishingly quiet, and even his self-praising press release was composed in the past tense and lacked the usual arrogance. Something is wrong in Trumpland. And here’s a shock: Trump’s minions are going to need ANOTHER new Speaker of the House and right now there’s nobody within 100 votes of the minimum number of votes needed for election!
- Just 18 days after I asked why he hadn’t been indicted as an agent of Egypt, Senator Bob Menendez … is. Now I ask: Why is he out on bail? Ron DeSantis comes out of unintentional retirement to pull a really transparent stunt on Israel, and Tommy Tuberville shoots himself in the foot on the same topic.
Maybe he shot himself in the other foot as well, because ...
12 CENTCOM posts affected by Tuberville block could hamper US aid to Israel, lawmakers say
Twelve senior military positions that help lead U.S. forces in the Middle East are caught in Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s hold on military nominees, and some lawmakers fear the understaffing will impact U.S. support to Israel.
The posts in U.S. Central Command, including the deputy commander and the commander of the Navy’s 5th Fleet, are either being held by temporary commanders, junior officers or officers doing two jobs at once, said Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz.
“As we reposition our own forces and support our ally Israel with intelligence, logistics and other assistance, we need U.S. leadership to be as strong and focused as possible,” Kelly, a former naval aviator, said Thursday. “This hamstrings our regional military leadership during a crisis. Period.”
Mis-quoting Jack Nicholson in Mars Attacks, “I want the Arizona people to know that they still have one out of two Senators working for them, and that ain’t bad.”
Back to Keith.
- And something does not add up on the Mary Lou Retton story. So sick she can’t breathe? No insurance? Daughter starts a GoFundMe? And last year the tiny Republican had a house worth $2,000,000?

- IN SPORTS: New ESPN host reveals he’s paid Aaron Rodgers millions for “interviews” and why this means all TV Sports “news” programs are now mortally and irreversibly wounded. A large part of the field beclowns itself over the issue of whether a minor taunt a Braves player made about a Phillies player in a clubhouse full of reporters was somehow “off the record”, and an instance from my own career when it really WAS. And Sunday it’ll be 35 years since I matter-of-factly predicted the Kirk Gibson World Series home run that everybody else still seems to think was impossible. And the witness to my prediction makes a cameo!

That’s all the damage for now. Good morning, good afternoon, good night, and good luck!
