Yes there is

Trump claims 'no limits' on his power discussing Iran on 'The Axios Show'
President Donald Trump claims there are "no limits" on his power while discussing Iran conflict on "The Axios Show."

 Trump claimed that "we defeated them totally militarily," and even that the MOU "probably is unconditional surrender."
He argued the war had actually demonstrated America's military strength. "Who else could have done a blockade like that? I did a naval blockade where not one ship was able to get through. Some tried. It didn't last very long."
Between the lines: Trump acknowledged in the interview that the alternatives to cutting a deal could have been dire.

Trump bristled at the idea that his hawkish critics were asking why he wasn't tougher on Iran. "The only way I can get tougher is if I go in there for another two or three weeks and continue to bomb the hell out of 'em. Right? But what does that get us? The Strait of Hormuz will not be open."

"We wouldn't have oil for months. As long as you're dropping bombs, that thing is automatically closed," he said, adding later: "This is the kind of thing that could cause a worldwide depression."

She doesn't understand that.

There is a whole lot of other people who don't understand that too and its a shame... The food industry is very deceitful however..... and they prey on the uninformed....

BY THE TIME WE GOT TO MY DOCTORS OFFICE, HE WAS GRIPPING THE STEERING WHEEL SO HARD. I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO LOSE ALL THE CIRCULATION IN HIS HANDS…. THERE IS A CHANCE I MAY HAVE OFFENDED HIM….. I TOLD HIM TO CHEER UP THOUGH… I TOLD HIM AT LEAST TRUMP DID NOT TRY TO GRAB HIS DAUGHTER BY THE PUSSY… ONLY BECAUSE HE NEVER MET HER THOUGH… CONVERSATION WENT DOWNHILL AFTER THAT…

Playing in stadium after today's match

USA 2, Australia 0
  First US shutout since Japan in September
Game got bit rough by design of Australia. Some yellow cards both ways.
US didn't get baited into having anybody get a red card and thrown out of game.
A Paraguay win or draw against Turkey tonight the US wins group
Either way through to round of 32.
Easier opponent if win group but opponents are going to be better.
Less travel and stay on West Coast with next game in Bay Area if win group too.

DOJ rebuffs judge’s request for Blanche to declare in court that anti-weaponization fund is dead


Claims separation of powers issue

Congress has the power to stop it.

A DOJ account on X further elaborated Friday on the matter: “In essence, the judge’s demand for declarations was an attempt to require her to personally sign-off on any and all future settlements, separate from this non-existent Fund, that the department may make. Judges do not get to insert themselves into the department’s routine settlement authority.”

(So then they want to pay J6 people another way it could sound like)

last week, Judge Brinkema requested declarations from acting Attorney General Todd Balance, a top deputy of his, Associate Attorney General Stan Woodward, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirming that “they will not take any action to create or operate the Anti-Weaponization Fund, and that the Anti-Weaponization Fund will not proceed in any manner, or under any name.”

Absent such a submission, the case would move forward to the next steps, she said in the June 12 order.

In the new filing, the Justice Department pointed to Blanche’s testimony to Congress in which he said the fund was “not going forward, period,” as well as Woodward’s signatory on court filings saying the same.

The Department also argued that there was no “basis for the court to compel testimony from the Associate Attorney General and two Cabinet members.”
