Er, not exactly. But color UD impressed by the soft-spoken thing Trump did for half of his convention speech.

UD enjoys reading articles featuring sentences that might as well be in Swahili.

…aging pope territory.

A scan of up to the minute news suggests Biden may soon drop out of the race.

… be the one to make a diff?

So it hit the wires (see post below this one) only an hour or so ago — though Sue-Mi Terry seems to have been spying for South Korea for almost two decades! — but already at lunch UD and Mr UD were all over the story, wondering in particular if Terry’s famous neo-con mate, Max Boot, could possibly NOT have known what the missus was up to.

“Did she rent a storage unit for the luxury bags? If not, he had to ask himself how she managed to own three million dollars worth of clutch purses,” mused UD.

“And… she’d have to have a separate bank account for the South Korean cash,” said Mr UD. “But basically it would be hard as hell to hide what she was up to, and what she was earning in gifts and cash, from him.”

In short, Les UDs, FWIW, figure her husband probably knew.

The indictment includes photographs of [Sue Mi] Terry meeting with South Korean officials who prosecutors contend served as her “handlers” for that country’s National Intelligence Service, including photos of one agent shopping for a Louis Vuitton handbag with Terry in a Washington store and the two of them departing together, with the agent carrying it in a shopping bag.

“We had five homicides in the first five days of July.”

To bring the point home, Mayor Randall Woodfin displayed the city’s armes de choix:

At one point, Woodfin swung [an] AR-15 in a way that caused some council members to ask him to not point the weapon in their direction. “Council, I apologize – I didn’t mean to,” Woodfin said. “I’m sorry.”

When he picked up [a] Micro Draco, he said, “Finger’s not on the trigger, everybody,” to calm any nerves. “Nowhere near it.”

If you’re going to be daft enough to stage one of these riots, you should at least warn non-combatants to stay away.

Wants Trump to be crushed to a cinder

She sent out a tweet

Said his death would be sweet

Her career is now all blown to flinders

Crypto pastor gets it said.

The Division of Securities is not fighting against me, they’re fighting against God, and they will lose… I had to give $500,000 to the IRS for some tax debts, then the Lord said to start remodeling our house… People trusted the Lord with their money. As we said, pray about it and then do what you want and they bought in. It’s no different than Moses leading the Israelites out of the wilderness. So, no, I don’t feel bad, because I know what God is going to do. Now, does it look bad from a natural perspective? Of course it does, it looks like death. But that’s how God works.

Amid the happy revelry, this totally not into it girl, kitted out in the stars and stripes, caught UD‘s eye and became this year’s iconic image of the iconic Garrett Park, MD parade.

… and didn’t know – until her friend Tammy told her – that some of the Antioch Mosaics were just down the street from ‘thesda at the Baltimore Museum. Tammy and I went there together the other day and it was thrilling to see them, arranged around a sunny atrium.
