The Trump Follies: July 2025 Edition

Keeping up with the latest Trump-related mishigas is a fulltime job these days, as the Distractor-in-Chief writhes and squirms in the white-hot spotlight of the Epstein files debacle. Like vermin desperately crawling from beneath an overturned rock, stunned by their exposure to sunlight, Trump is throwing everything he has at the wall, hoping something – anything – will stick long enough to shift focus from the dumpster fire that is the MAGA rebellion to his Attorney General’s assertion that the Epstein case is closed, with no further revelations of elite pedophile wrongdoing to come.

Aster-Obit: Connie Francis

“Who’s Sorry Now?” Legions of Connie Francis fans, that’s who, mourning the death of the singer whose signature tune that became. Francis herself hated the song, but it was her breakout hit from 1958, and she paid homage to its importance in her life and career by using the phrase to title her 1984 autobiography. Francis was translated to the celestial choir on 16 July 2025, aged 87.

Epstein Report Sparks MAGA Meltdown

One of the main pillars of the MAGA (“Make America Great Again”) movement, and a major component of that coalition, has been conspiracy theories and theorists. From the JFK and MLKJ assassinations to the moon landing and Clinton-sponsored pedophile rings run out of pizza shops, conspiracy is the air many MAGA folks breathe. And one of the most popularized conspiracy theories involved Jeffrey Epstein, credibly accused of having sex with underage girls, and sharing this illicit activity with numerous well-heeled, famous friends and acquaintances. Epstein never came to trial, having died in prison of an apparent suicide, but was rumored to have a secret client list naming his cohorts; his manner of death was also judged suspicious in MAGA world.

The Bezos-Sanchez Nuptials

Perhaps not everyone will remember where they were the day that the Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez wedding redefined “conspicuous consumption,” but as these things go, the day was surely memorable. Or perhaps we should say “days,” since the nuptial celebrations sprawled across three days in Venice, Italy, with pre-and post-ceremony festivities, though the actual union came on Friday, 27 June 2025. It was then that billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, the fourth-richest man in the world, wed his bride Lauren Sanchez, a former journalist, in what was likely the fourth-costliest wedding in history, with a price tag coming in somewhere around $55 million. Just a drop in the bucket for Bezos, however, with an estimated net worth of $244 billion.

Deadly Texas Flash Floods Kill Dozens

Rain-sodden remnants of Tropical Storm Barry dumped more than 6” of precipitation on Kerr County, Texas, USA in the early hours of 4 July 2025. Rainfall rates of 2-3” per hour prompted the Guadalupe River to overflow its banks in a surge of more than 29 feet, causing devastating flash flooding across hundreds of acres of Texas hill country. At least 84 were killed, including 21 children, with search and rescue efforts for more possible victims ongoing, including 10 girls missing from a summer camp in Hunt.

Don’t Mess with the Zohran

On Tuesday, 24 June 2025, 33-year-old State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani sent shockwaves through the Democratic Party structure when he won the primary in the New York City mayoral race, besting frontrunner Andrew Cuomo, a former New York governor, by some twelve points, in a stunning upset. Mamdani, who describes himself as a Democratic Socialist and entered the race last November with 1% support in polling, ran an effective grassroots campaign based on making the Big Apple more affordable for working class families, presenting himself as a populist fighter. If elected in November, he will be the first Muslim and naturalized citizen to serve as New York City’s mayor.
