It’s Wednesday, June 17, 2026 and a new dispatch is in hand.
And guess what else? The Bananas Republic Shop on Etsy (BananasRepublicShop) is Open!!!!
Our first item went live yesterday, an America 250-themed t-shirt featuring a casual George Washington celebrating the big day. CHECK IT OUT!!
JD Vance Survives “The View”
Vice President JD Vance appeared on “The View” Tuesday. What some people will do to sell a book. Vance had to face not four, not five, but all six of “The View” hosts. And still the intellectual odds were in his favor.
Spending months haggling with the mullahs and terrorists of Iran was good training. One group is a bunch of screeching America-hating radicals. The other, Persians.
They thew so many punches at Vance they might as well have called it “The Claw” instead of “The View.” All the expected attacks. ICE, Immigration, Epstein. Race. More Epstein. How he used to be against Trump. The font choice for his book.
How ridiculous was it? Vance was a central negotiator on the new potentially historic agreement between the US and Iran. That was announced Sunday. He’s scheduled to go sign the thing Friday. Not a single question about it.
As I mention in an article hopefully coming out today, it’d be like having on a player from the New York Knicks and not asking about the NBA finals.
But Vance was so cool, and smooth, he swatted the attacks away like they were flies at a picnic.
Jimmy Failla put it this way: “JD Vance vs The View is like a pigeon ‘battling’ a statue.”
But a few times Vance got Behar to laugh. Tough. Like getting Mamdani to hug a Jew.
Terror Attack on UFC Freedom 250 Thwarted
The FBI thwarted an attempted terrorist attack on the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House. Roughly two dozen people were involved, at least on Signal chats, working out the details to use the cover of an anti-Trump protest at the event to launch explosive-laden drones on the north side of the event, which would send people fleeing right into a sniper’s nest. A second wave of attackers would storm the White House gates in the commotion.
Their aim? To take out “elites,” “billionaires” and politicians who got money from AIPAC. THE JEWS. Sound familiar? Might as well have had Graham Platner’s mug shot. Or Mamdani. Or Hakeem Jeffries.
The explosive-laden drones they were going to use were to be launched from the new Democratic Party platform.
The Greatness of America: McDonald’s Is Bringing Back Fried Apple Pie for America’s Birthday!
From a time when our nation’s motto was “Caution: The Filling May Be Hot.”
It’s the first time in 30 years the old school fried apple pie has been on the menu. It disappeared right around the time society started squeezing all the fun out of life.
What next? The Major Leagues eliminating the designated hitter?
Jersey Mike’s Topples Chick-fil-A for Top Spot in Fast Food Customer Satisfaction
Jersey Mike’s scored an 84 out of 100, to Chick-fil-A’s score of 83 on the American Customer Satisfaction Index for national chains.
So much for Jersey Mike’s being “sub” par. Tee-hee.
Fine. But do they have a fried apple pie?
(Guessing In & Out isn’t in enough states to qualify. Yet.)
And that is that, with visions of a Double Double in my head …
