The Sunday Bottom 5
A ranking of some things.
1. Donald Trump – Still a lying sexual predator who believes the moon is part of Mars, but lately showing his age, turning into even more of a babbling, incoherent blatherskite than usual…A convicted felon, as lousy a human being as we can produce (Non-Dictator Division), a three (3)-time GOP presidential nominee, Trump shows exactly how far America has fallen in the 70 years since TV became the focal point of American life…We are as ignorant as he is.
2. Kamala Harris – A typical Democrat who believes government can be all things to all people, but she isn’t Donald Trump, giving her a leg up on Donald Trump…First presidential candidate some Americans are lusting after since Victoria Woodhull in 1872.
3. USA! USA! – The 3-hole staple…A hundred years from now all new people – perhaps Americans, if there are any left – will look back at the Donald Trump Era and conclude that America tolerated the three-time nomination of a man of zero moral and intellectual substance because America herself was no longer a nation of any moral or intellectual substance.
4. College Football – Only two (2) conferences that matter – Big 18 and SEC – meeting to decide how best to consolidate wealth and power by forcing a super league down everyone’s throats…All major division college sports a house of cards now, with everyone – conferences, universities, coaches, players, and networks – all in it to strafe marketplace for every last possible dollar…It can’t possibly last.
5. Fact Check: Special Natural Disaster Edition – Click here for assorted lies, misinformation, and inaccuracies from hurricanes Helene and Milton.

Extra, extra, read all about it.
In 1792 – The cornerstone of the White House is laid in Washington D.C. Construction would take over eight years, with President John Adams and his family moving into what was then known as the Executive Mansion in November 1800, when the capital moved from Philadelphia to Washington. Later, the sandstone used to construct the mansion was whitewashed, giving the building its eventual name.
In 1903 – The Boston Americans, now the Red Sox, win the first World Series, defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates 5 games to 3 with a 5-3 win in Game 8 in Boston. It was the first of nine World Series titles for the Red Sox and the first of four runner-up finishes for the Pirates to go along with four titles. The World Series would revert to a best-of-seven format from 1905-18, with the final best-of-nine series being played from 1919-21.
In 1979 – Michael Jackson is at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the only week with Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough. It was the sixth of 40 Top 40 solo hits for Jackson, his fourth of 30 Top 10s, and his second of 13 #1s. The song went to #1 in six other countries, including Australia and Norway, peaked at #3 in Great Britain, was Billboard’s 93rd-biggest song of the 1979 survey period, and earlier had spent five weeks at #1 on Billboard’s soul chart.
Some Philosophy Crap
The wisdom of the ages. Whatever.
Everyman achieved his own greatness by reaching out beyond himself, and so it is with nations…Only when a nation means something to itself can it mean something to others.
