Good mornin’, and happy Monday! The start of another work week for us but just another day that ends in a Y for the Trump team. Here is an antiique drip model that I’ve not noticed before. I guess after the brew is done, you remove the top section and replace with the lid you see? Keep your head on a swivel and carpe’ your coffee!

When I found this one, there were several others that were set up just like this one. As I note, I can only assume the top section contains the coffee grounds and is then removed when the brewing has been completed. Otherwise, I got nothin’.

There are those who think “Signalgate” was all planned by the Administration…and I’m not ruling that out at all.
“Signalgate” is a Masterclass in the application of Useful Idiots – A theory
ARTHURINCALI – MAR 26, 2025
“Never attempt to win by force what can be won by deception.”
― Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince
I lean towards a theory of “Signalgate” being intentional1, starting with some of the members the chat. You have Vice President JD Vance, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller. These are all heavy-hitters in the admin and most former military with the training and experience around handling sensitive information. The Signal messaging app was not some new piece of technology handed out to them as if they were natives of the New World with a Musket.
Pretending they are clueless about operational security doesn’t pass the common sense test.
These folks regularly make the rounds on the cable news circuit advancing the policies of the administration. If the interview goes well and has catchy sound bites, maybe a few Op-Eds will hit the internet.
In the Signal GC, specific policies regarding issues with Europe, Red Sea trade defense, and the inability of the EU to counter these threats are laid out.
Thanks to The Atlantic, these positions have European policymakers and leaders full attention.

I honestly don’t agree with that. More likely that one or more of the following happened:
1. Whoever set up Mike Waltz’ phone added Goldberg with his initials to the group.
2. An aide accidently or intentionally added Goldberg to the chat.
3. Walz is lying, and actually did know Goldberg (for either innocent or nefarious reasons) and added his contact himself.
4. Walz either intentionally or accidentally added Goldberg to the chat.
Signalgate has been nothing but bad for the Trump administration. It’s a distraction that isn’t needed right now.

Supposedly, all high-level staff phones are supplied through the CIA. This was done with the prior administration as we know who wasn’t running anything. If the IC programs all the phones with this app, how hard would it be for them to add a snitch here and there and be able to hide it from almost anyone.
