Trump rails against court decision that once again stalls his White House ballroom project The federal judge's decision continues to block above-ground construction on the $400 million White House ballroom, allowing only below-ground work on a bunker and other "national security facilities"...

The whole bunker/ballroom fiasco won't protect Trump if the Secret Service and the White House guards will steer directly to the President any random white woman from Arkansas who claims to be delivering fast food.

Hungary election results live: Orbán concedes to Magyar's Tisza after projections show opposition winning two-thirds majority Veteran nationalist leader Viktor Orbán conceded defeat after a landslide election victory by the centre-right, pro-EU Tisza party, in a setback for his allies in Russia and U.S. President Donald Trum...

J.D. Vance should spend as much time influencing elections in the U.S. as he did in Hungary, and he should start with Oklahoma Republican Kevin Hern's Senate campaign.

Two small dogs sit on carpeted floor about a half meter apart. Both dogs are wearing white dishtowels draped over their backs, held together in front of their chests by small binder clips.

Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way
But with my little phone in hand
I knew you'd like to see how grand
They looked, di-di-di-di'n'di

A casually dressed, diverse crowd sits in the stands of Excite Stadium (San Jose, CA). Many wear team colors or clothing that identifies them as fans of the San Jose Giants or the Oakland Ballers. Six men wear tall, flat topped, red fezzes with thick black tassels and sparkling gold letters and symbols that identify them as members of the Shriners.

A group of fez-wearing Shriners enjoyed last night's Oakland Ballers vs. San Jose Giants game. They should have received reduced parking fees for their tiny cars.

Three bright yellow golf balls rest in an open box on the left of the picture. Abutting that box is the lid, which has a graphic comparing two different models of the company's golf balls. Each comparison is a bar graph, one kind of ball represented by a beige bar and the other by a dark gray bar. The graphs are labeled "ball speed," "distance," "launch," "flight," "wedge spin," and "compression." The pairs of beige and gray bars vary slightly in length from each other, but none identifies the units of measurement, the scale of the graphs, the origin point of the represented bar graph.

What do these comparisons mean? What units of measurement? What is the scale?
Or is this just the golf ball version of "This one goes to eleven"?

Your mind is greater. My remark pretty much exhausts my knowledge of golf.

Additional observation supporting your eclectic fashion sense:
Binney-Smith reaped huge profits from parents who bought the Crayola 64-crayon boxes, multicolor wonderlands to explore, for presents for their children. There's no market for single-color 64s, nor even tasteful grey-to-taupe range 64s.

People should definitely take fashion advice from you. Much more inspiring than most other sources!

Hoping for a do-over that erases Kristi Noem's disastrous record as secretary of Homeland Security, Trump has teed up Markwayne Mulligan to replace her.

The FIFA Peace Prize 2025 trophy rests upon a black pedestal. The brass trophy depicts a number of human hands stretching upward, fingertips supporting a globe with textured details of Earth's oceans and land forms.

Edvard Munch's painting. "The Scream," depicts a simplified blue-clad human form standing in the foreground next to a  red railing, hands clasped to the sides of its head. The most prominent feature of the face is its open mouth, a vertical oval below stylized anguished eyes.

He's weak even as a dictator. At a mere one hour and 48 minutes, Trump's SOTU address pales by contrast with Fidel Castro's seven hour and ten minutes speech in 1986.
