NEWSFLUSH: As I type, Diddums is unveiling two flagpoles on the lawn of the White House "as gifts to the Nation". My instant comment: It's the only sort of erection he's capable of these days. Then Herself remarks that they've got gold knobs at the end. (Side issue: neither is a wizard's staff.)

.... Oh Of Course: to show this tacky bit of froth, the newsfeeds had to cut away from coverage of the Senate Committee meeting where Hegseth is being roasted summat rotten. Surprise.
