In Case You Missed It Dept.: 

The National Weather Service issued a heat warning for the entire West Coast Sunday. Triple-digit temperature readings extended from the Pacific Northwest all the way to San Diego. It's so hot in California that Governor Newsom just re-districted the state congressional map to include Alaska.

Good Morning America interviewed the Cracker Barrel CEO Friday who downplayed the backlash against her decision to change their cherished logo. Trying to try to please everybody is the trend. White Castle is planning to change its logo to simply Castle as the previous name is deemed too offensive.

President Trump named himself Chairman of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington. Trump wants to place his personal stamp on culture. When the Center presents Eugene O'Neill's play The Ice Man Cometh, don't expect to see any Mexicans in the audience by the second act.

Governor Gavin Newsom was accused by critics of neglecting to clean up California last week while he campaigned for president and blasted Republicans on social media, on TV and onstage. Describing his new style, Gavin says he plans to fight fire with fire. In that case, no one is better qualified.

The New York Times was targeted by angry college protests Friday demanding pro-Palestinian coverage in the Gaza War. School's back in session in New York. College students who come to the US from Colombia never dreamed that Columbia University is more violent than their own country.

US Fish and Wildlife says California could easily support another 17,000 Grizzly Bears. it's a bold approach to the homeless problem.

President Trump vowed to expand his crackdown on crime in Chicago and order the National Guard to patrol the gang-infested neighborhoods there. Patience is running thin on both sides. It's been 2 weeks since he sent the National Guard into Washington, DC, delaying hundreds of murders.

NBC News aired illegal alien Abrego Garcia being taken into federal custody Monday and he's slated to be deported to Uganda. Democrats reacted swiftly to keep him in Maryland. In response the state's Governor Wes Moore just redrew the map of Maryland's congressional districts to include Africa.

London police just issued an all-points bulletin for a terrorist who goes by the name of Hormel. He just posted a bacon ad on Facebook.

Gavin Newsom is reported to be looking for a campaign manager for his 2028 run. His website is selling a red cap that reads Gavin Newsom Was Right About Everything. If you'd like to buy this cap, you have to apply for a California cap permit, wait 9 months, pay the 60% sales tax and pick it up via high-speed rail.

Pew Research reports the foreign-born population in America declined in 2025 for the first time in 50 years, a net loss of 1.5 million people leaving the US and going back to their home countries. It feels a little eerie. There are so many Americans in America today it hardly feels like Mexico anymore.

The Democratic Party hosted a conference in Minneapolis this week to try to come up with ways to inspire support, assure party donors and raise their low poll numbers. The New York Times survey last week said the Democrats have lost 4.5 million voters. The first place I always look is under the cushions.

A California high school girls volleyball team walked off the court on Thursday and refused to play against a Jurupa Valley girls team that had one transgender player. The girls chose to forfeit the game instead. They cited the first rule of women's volleyball which allows only one ball on the court.

Taylor Swift announced she's marrying Travis Kelce prompting James Comey to head to the basement with a Luger, bottle of schnappes, and this month's copy of Tiger Beat.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson in an interview on Morning Joe Tuesday refused to agree that Chicago would be safer with more police. It would. Last night's performance of Hamilton in Chicago was cut short in the first act when Hamilton was shot and killed by someone in the audience.

The Labor Department Building in DC unfurled a 30-foot portrait of Trump down the side of the building. Earlier in the year the Agriculture Department displayed a huge banner of Trump together with Abe Lincoln. That made a lot more sense, considering how actors felt about each of them.

President Trump hosted a three-and-a-half hour cabinet meeting on Tuesday televised live from the Cabinet Room in the White House on cable news channels. He got it in just under the wire. The warning on the label says that if your cabinet meeting lasts longer than four hours to see your physician.
