Yes, and he wanted to Trade Puerto Rico for Greenland.

That's right Steve, remember Puerto Rico had that hurricane, and Trump made a photo op of tossing out those paper towel rolls?

Then he got resentful that they were one of those "shithole" territories costing us money in relief!

Somebody probably told him about the great deal Lincoln and Seward made purchasing Alaska.

And he seriously asked Denmark to make a swap!

Trump figured he'd melt the polar icecaps and then be able to mine Greenland for yet more oil and other raw materials.

Taylor Swift is careful not to endorse Harris. WhyTF? She can fill any stadium in any major city in the world!

Some of my families kids fly their kids 500 miles to attend a Swift  concert with them the way my parents use to drive us to Disneyland!

Hasn't she got enough money and followers already?

Doug, I think it was because I had older brothers. I know every one of these!

Let's speed ahead years. This is the top 10 for April 4th 1964.

This was as result of a period of Beatlemania over the previous 4 months where the American public was acquainting itself with  Beatle songs that had been released in 1963.

I remember first hearing Please Please Me, in I think it was the Spring in 1963 and being impressed with the unusual style and chord changes, but I didn't know they were British.

The Daily Beast is reporting today that RFK,Jr.'s running mate, Nicole Shanahan, has suggested that RFK, Jr. join forces with the Trump campaign, to avoid undermining Trump's candidacy.

Chicago Hot Dog Shop Selling 3" Donald Trump Wieners During DNC (thealtmedia.com)

I ate at Weiner Circle A LOT in the 90s after raucous nights out. The burgers are also fantastic and the cheese fries use real Wisconsin cheddar, not that canned fake stuff. Mui delicious.

I mean, the Kennedy family warned us, didn't they? He clearly does not surround himself with good people.
