I am a Vietnam Veteran. Some of my squadron mates are buried there. My father served 30 in the Navy and both he and my mother are buried at Arlington. President Bone Spurs wants to glorify himself while diminishing those who served. This is fitting given how he has belittled those who serve now.

Thank you for your service, Russ. I agree that Trump's plan for an arch is no way to honor our vets.

Jen, so happy you’re back. With the Jolt of a good idea. Thanks!

Sane prose, gutsy snark, zero tolerance for crooks and incompetence—that’s our Jen, back again!

How many left in this country yet to understand the "Art of the Deal" essentially boils down to a single word, "renege"?

More people watched the Seahawks-Patriots game than the orange-faced bonehead.

I didn’t waste my time on any of the nonsense coming from Dallas. I had better things to do with my time.

Wait-you don’t want your $5000? 🤣

The same people who complained that $2400 stimulus checks to everyone would cause inflation under Joe Biden are now OK with Trump giving away $5000? Talk about a lack of self awareness...besides, whatever became of those promised $5000 DOGE checks?

We have become the United States of Absurd.

I guess he could just hand out cash, because all he has to do is order more money printed and NOBODY in Washington DC will stop him.

"‘L’ in ‘Dallas’ fell off the podium at one point.” Would have been more appropriate if it was the D that fell off, with "sholes" tacked on at the end.

"Well, will wonders never cease? The U.S. Supreme Court, without dissent, restored the Missouri Supreme Court decision restoring the 2022 congressional map, setting aside the MAGA concocted re-redistricted map, affirming that the referendum blocked by Republicans should have gone forward. This is a victory for sanity, the rule of law, and for the principle that even this MAGA Supreme Court has its limits when it comes to Trump’s assault on voting."

Perhaps you should send the Court a "thank you" note instead of calling them the "MAGA Supreme Court", Jen.

"The Trumpalooza bust. The Daily Beast headline in advance of the MAGA Dallas convention said it all..."

Wait, what? There's a convention going on in Dallas? Probably just as well that I missed it. I had to change the Arm & Hammer in the refrigerator...

I hope I get it in an email!

I subscribed the first day you announced The Contrarian!

Of course, even (or should I say when) they violate the order, I'm confident nothing will come of it. No consequences whatsoever.

I subscribed immediately when Jennifer left the Post. Now I can’t seem to find a way to enter my substack verification. Why is Substack involved?

They’ve been on Substack the whole time. I think you can also read the articles at contrarianews.org. I find the Substack app works the best to see everything.
