Trump’s Achilles’ Heel
It’s probably too late — Donald Trump is 79 years old — but the dude really, really needs to stop currying favor with institutions that despise him.
What is blindingly obvious to most of us is to Donald the holy grail. He craves the respect and admiration of the New York Times, the Nobel Peace Prize committee, and every other once-venerable institution.
He grants interviews to the Times, then watches as the Old Gray Lady twists facts and stabs him in the back. He appeals to the Nobel voters — a group that cemented its liberal bias by awarding Barack Obama before he’d done a damn thing.
These people are never going to embrace you, Donald. They are hopelessly corrupt. Give it up.

Word Games
From Lingo Digest
Whenever there’s a dispute over the meaning of a word (often), I prefer to refer to the ultimate authority: an old-fashioned dictionary.
But I worry because, reportedly, the woke police have been busy changing the meanings of words and phrases in that formerly ultimate authority.
Here is a good task for artificial intelligence: scan a 2025 dictionary and compare it to, oh, say a 2015 dictionary. Find out how many definitions have discrepancies between the two.
In the meantime, I’m not buying any new dictionaries. I’ll use an old one.
