Bingo card update, 2026 edition:
Cuba vows to fight ‘terrorist aggression’ after attack from US-registered speedboat. If that's not Bay of Pigs II: Electric Boogaloo, I don't know what on Earth is. It was in a speedboat, so the attack was fast and furious.
US trade deficit swells in December as imports surge --- oh, are the trade deficits getting larger? That's so weird. It's almost like if people don't want to buy from you, it's worse than making their products less competitive. And in a K-shaped economy, price doesn't affect the demand for foreign luxuries.
On the Epstein files remaining locked down: US justice department accused of withholding Trump-related Epstein files, after "everything" was released. Hmmm. Does it seem possible from the same department that hung a mega banner of Trump on the building? Mega likely.
On the State of the Union address, which was hockey, gold medals, and 98% Trump re-runs: he did make it through his 2-hour mega speech. Is he not as demented as we thought? Or... was it Adderall? He was definitely doing the robotic reading thing by the end. I'm reminded of Umberto Eco reminiscing on how the fascists used to make such long speeches, that the first time he heard a one-paragraph speech from victorious partisans, it opened his eyes to the world.
