The Sunday Bottom 5
A ranking of some things.
1. Donald Trump – The nonsense continues, with America continuing to tolerate government off the top of the president’s head…From closing federal departments created by Congress and which can only be shuttered by them to threatening impeachment of judges who dare rule against him, Trump has taken Constitution and stuffed it in his back pocket.
2. Columbia University – Noted US university latest entity to cave in and comply with petty and vindictive demands of US dictator…Now, we don’t feel the government should be involved in private education, but First Amendment fans should be looking over their shoulders if they weren’t already.
3. People’s Republic of Amerika – The 3-hole staple…A hundred years from now all new people – including Americans, if there are any left – will not wonder why Trump did what he did because Trump is a man of zero moral or intellectual substance and is governing as such…No, they will wonder why America tolerated it, why ignorance and lies were ever elected in the first place.
4. 2026 Midterms – Sunday Bottom 5 pollsters remain “pretty sure” next year’s elections will happen, but the way Trump is laying waste to the Constitution, they’re not certain they will and, let’s be honest, neither are you.

In 1965 – Gemini 3 – America’s first two-man space flight – is launched from Cape Kenndy in Florida. The flight was commanded by Gus Grissom and piloted by John Young, his first of seven orbital launches, including one from the moon, an American record. It was the final spaceflight controlled from Cape Kennedy before such functions were transferred to the new Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston. Previously, the Soviets had launched both 2- and 3-man spaceflights.
In 2009 – Japan wins the second World Baseball Classic, defeating South Korea 5-3 in ten innings in Los Angeles. It was the second of three WBC titles for Japan, and remains the only 2nd-place finish for South Korea. South Korea had tied the score with a run in the bottom of the ninth, with Ichiro Suzuki getting the go-ahead RBI in the tenth. The next WBC is next year, with the final round scheduled for Miami.
In 1957 – Tab Hunter is at #1 on Billboard’s Best Sellers in Stores chart – one of several predecessors to the Hot 100 – for the fourth and final consecutive week with Young Love. It was the second of seven chart singles for Hunter and remains his only Top 10 song. The song also peaked at #1 in Great Britain and at #9 on Billboard’s soul best sellers chart. Versions by Sonny James and the Crew Cuts also charts that year, by Leslie Gore (1966) and Donny Osmond (1973) also hit the Hot 100.
