There are tons of MAGA suckers across the country. Here is the latest on how Donald Trump owns and plays these suckers. See this from the AP:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Thousands of copies of Donald Trump’s “God Bless the USA” Bible were printed in a country that the former president has repeatedly accused of stealing American jobs and engaging in unfair trade practices — China.
Global trade records reviewed by The Associated Press show a printing company in China’s eastern city of Hangzhou shipped close to 120,000 of the Bibles to the United States between early February and late March.
The estimated value of the three separate shipments was $342,000, or less than $3 per Bible, according to databases that use customs data to track exports and imports. The minimum price for the Trump-backed Bible is $59.99, putting the potential sales revenue at about $7 million.
Here is the entire read from AP: Trump has long blasted China’s trade practices. His ‘God Bless the USA’ Bibles were printed there (msn.com).
The suckers don’t even think twice about this. Just follow the cult leader.

Folks know Commentary watches “Today” every morning. I had to do a double take on this story during the 8 am hour. See this from “Today”:
Commissioners from the biggest leagues in sports have united to spread a new campaign called “#TimeOut Against Hate.”
The first-of-its-kind campaign, launched by New England Patriots CEO Robert Kraft’s Foundation to Combat Antisemitism, is reinterpreting the “timeout” gesture in professional sports to symbolize a fight against intolerance.
To reach as many sports fans as possible, Kraft has teamed up with commissioners Rob Manfred of Major League Baseball; Don Garber of Major League Soccer; Adam Silver of the National Basketball Association; Cathy Engelbert of the Women’s National Basketball Association; Roger Goodell of the National Football League; Gary Bettman of the National Hockey League; Jessica Berman of the National Women’s Soccer League; and Steve Phelps of NASCAR to help create ads featuring leaders and top athletes.
Patriots owner Robert Kraft is a good friend of Trump. Trump is the all-time hater and that is all you need to know. “Today” got played for sure this morning.

I buy most of my Beatles gear from FabFourStore.com. Yesterday, they sent me an email saying they were offering a discount in honor of John Lennon’s 84 birthday. I bought some gear including a t-shirt with Lennon’s self-portrait image – see the featured photo – some Christmas themed t-shirts, and a tee with the “Revolver” album cover.

Hurricane Milton tore off the roof of Tropicana Field. I wonder how long it will take them to get it repaired. We visit the Trop on May 19.
