Tulsi Gabbard, President Trump’s Director of National Intelligence (DNI), is leaving a job where she was ignored and sidelined by her boss. Now, many of us have been in that position and were forced to put up with it, but Gabbard is a woman of accomplishment and even a veteran who served her country admirably. What I remember most about her was her classic takedown of Kamala Harris during the 2020 presidential primary debates while she was still a Democrat. What a thrill to see that phoney-balogney Harris squirm. In this case, Gabbard had the temerity, or courage depending on your viewpoint, to disagree with Sir Donald on Iran’s development of nuclear weapons capability. Before Trump began his onslaught on what was once Persia this past February, Gabbard said Iran was not actively developing a bomb following the June 2025 Midnight Hammer strike on its nuclear facilities. “As a result of Operation Midnight Hammer, Iran’s nuclear enrichment program was obliterated,” Gabbard wrote in prepared testimony to be delivered to Congress. “There has been no efforts since then to try to rebuild their enrichment capability. The entrances to the underground facilities that were bombed have been buried and shuttered with cement.”

A song from a musical that most of you have probably never heard of, “Damn Yankees,” is called “Whatever Lola Wants,” and the first lyric is, “Whatever Lola Wants, Lola Gets.” Today, Lola would more likely be the name of a hooker in a TV show or movie, but the song was so famous that Sarah Vaughan made it into a hit. That being said as a way to explain my headline to this article, Sir Donald has once again prevailed with his revenge list. This time, he’s taken down Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie, a nemesis who voted against Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” and then smeared the president’s reputation in l’affaire Epstein. In social media posts leading up to tonight’s primary for Massie’s seat, Trump called the 55-year-old Kentucky Congressman a  “major sleazebag,” a “moron,” and the “Worst Republican Congressman in History.” The major media have all called the race for Massie’s opponent, former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein. Massie has been in the House since 2012. The campaign to compete for Massie’s seat in November was the most expensive House primary campaign in U.S. history. Today, Trump endorsed another non-incumbent to take out a longstanding Senator, John Cornyn of

It was only a little more than a year ago that Mark Cuban, he of “Shark Tank” fame and of billions in assets, said nasty things about Donald Trump in his bid for a second term in the White House. Cuban supported Kamala Harris. That support was not overlooked today as President Trump and 2024 critic Cuban shared the stage in announcing an expansion of the TrumpRx.gov drug website to include generic drugs. A reporter, during the follow-up Q&A, asked Trump what he thought of being on stage with a notable Harris supporter, and he replied, “He [Cuban] made a mistake.” Cuban smiled at the joke and the reporters laughed along. “’This has been the greatest breakthrough in lowering health care costs in modern history, but we’re just sort of getting started,” Trump said, calling the expanded TrumpRx the “hottest thing in medicine.” The announcement today adds some 600 generic medications to the site. Cuban himself also started a low-cost drug company called Cost Plus, and he seemed more than happy to join with Trump in bringing more affordable medications to the American public. “Everyone wants me to rip on TrumpRx,” Cuban wrote in a recent social media post. “Reality
