On CNBC Scott Bessent insisted that "most retirees own 10 or 12 homes." Scott wishes to be addressed as Milord and added, "Average Americans also have at least 30 crystal punchbowls, 58 gilded candelabra and 15 white stallions. I do."

Brat Diplomacy

The president of the United States, hot to acquire Greenland, actually sent this text to the prime minister of Norway over the weekend.

"Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America."

Petulant? It's crystal clear we're being led by Veruca Salt.

The Art of the Steal

The entire planet knows that Donald Trump lusts after the Nobel Peace Prize. This week he got it—sort of.

The 2025 winner, Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, presented Trump her golden medal in a golden frame at the golden White House as a "personal symbol of gratitude on behalf of the Venezuelan people."

I assume Trump's booby prize, the hastily created peace prize FIFA awarded him last month, will now be moved to a West Wing bathroom.

The Nobel Prize committee said that Machado's decision to fork over the medal doesn't change who won. The prize can't be "revoked, shared, or transferred to others."

But Trump's grin on receiving the bribe—I mean gift—showed how happy he was to be the new owner of a lightly used, second-hand medal.

Machado didn't leave the White House empty-handed. She carried away a red gift bag bearing Trump's signature in gold on the outside. As to what, if anything, was inside the swag bag, my bet is a Steven Miller Pez dispenser.

A Lesbian Represents


A friend in Vermont sent me this photo taken at an anti-ICE protest in Brattleboro this past weekend. I needed the levity.
