Happy Tuesday! In between insults we'll occasionally discuss cigars. Join in and perhaps learn something along the way. Warning: don't proceed if you have thin skin but don't be afraid to post either... And welcome aboard!

I comment on it being a momentous weekend, and you accuse me of being a tease , as if I was talking about myself? As if nothing happened over the weekend? Are y'all delusional?
Okay...well, good luck with that.

Lol, oh, that? Perhaps it seems less momentous to us because a lot of us half expected something like this the first time he was elected. Then the second time, when he started his whole, "Burn Everything to the Ground 2025" tour, we fully expected it.

Last of the super warm days today, with the heat index getting into triple digits. Looks like some rain in the forecast must be the end of the warm front coming through, mid-80s for tomorrow.

Well then in that case, every day is more momentous than the last. The likes of which have never been seen. It ain't over yet, my man. Hang in for the whole ride.

Today is Tuesday, June 24, the 175th day of 2025
with 190 to follow.
The moon is waning. Morning stars are Mars, Neptune, Saturn and Venus. Evening stars are Jupiter and Mars.
On this date in history:
In 1901, Pablo Picasso's artwork had its first exhibition in Paris.
In 1908, former president Grover Cleveland died in Princeton, N.J., at the age of 71.
In 1948, Soviet forces blockaded the western zones of Berlin, setting the stage for the Berlin airlift to support the 2 million people of the divided German city.
In 1970, the Senate repealed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, named for the 1964 incident the U.S. government used to justify war against Vietnam. The resolution gave President Lyndon B. Johnson authorization for the war, but the vote was largely symbolic because the Nixon administration didn't use it for legal authority to be in Vietnam.
In 1975, an Eastern Airlines Boeing 727 en route from New Orleans crashed at New York's Kennedy International airport, killing 113 people. There were 11 survivors.
In 1986, Raquel Welch won a $10.8 million verdict against MGM, which she said ruined her career by firing her from the 1980 movie Cannery Row.
In 1993, a Yale professor was injured by a mail bomb, the second sent by Ted Kaczynski, the so-called Unabomber, in two days. It was the 14th bomb Kaczynski sent since the 1970s.
In 2009, South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford admitted to having an extramarital affair with a woman in Argentina. He resigned as chairman of the GOP governors association but stayed on as governor and was later elected to Congress.
In 2010, John Isner defeated Nicolas Mahut in a first-round match played over three days at Wimbledon. The match -- longest in pro-tennis history -- took 11 hours, 5 minutes and 183 games to decide a winner.
In 2012, the Muslim Brotherhood's Mohamed Morsi was elected president of Egypt. The military removed him from the office in 2013 and he was later sentenced to death for his role in a mass prison break in 2011.
In 2021, the 12-story Champlain Towers condo building in Surfside, Fla., collapsed, killing 98 people and injuring 11 others. The remains of the building were brought down July 4, 2021.
In 2022, the conservative-majority U.S. Supreme Court handed down a decision that overturned its 1973 opinion in Roe vs. Wade, which legalized abortion nationwide.
In 2024, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was freed from a British prison after pleading guilty to a felony charge of espionage in a deal with the U.S. Justice Department. Under the deal, he was sentenced to 62 months in prison, which he already served in Britain while fighting to avoid extradition to the United States.
