Readers tell me every day that this is the one Substack they never miss—the one they look forward to, open, and actually read. The one that makes them snort coffee out of their nose, startle the cat, annoy their spouse, and occasionally “pee a little.” If glowing reviews paid the bills, trust me,
I’d leave it at aw, shucks, and we could all skip the groveling.
Four days a week, you get me for the very reasonable price of absolutely nothing.
The fifth post pays the bills.
An annual subscription works out to about 30 cents a pop and comes with a free signed book. If you can’t swing it or aren’t sure you like me that much,
free content will resume tomorrow. :)
If you thought the White House press briefing room couldn’t possibly get any more entertaining, allow me to introduce you to Katie Zacharia, Trump’s brand-new press secretary and the woman chosen to fill the Karoline Leavitt-sized hole in our hearts. She’s been on the job for approximately eleven hours and has somehow already managed to become more scandalous than the guy she was hired to spit-shine.
Objectively speaking, Zacharia is—stop me if you’ve heard this one—extremely hot. And blonde. But like the majority of her female White House colleagues, she’s not just hot and blonde. The Pepperdine Law graduate, seasoned political commentator, mother of four, and longtime Trump supporter previously worked for the Department of Homeland Security and Trump Media & Technology Group, the company behind Truth Social, and has appeared on Fox News, Newsmax, and CNN. She also served as general counsel for Trump ally Richard Grenell’s conservative organization Fix California and interned at the White House during the George W. Bush administration. In other words, she’s not exactly some random babe Trump plucked from the audience at a rally because he liked her… hat.
The problem isn’t her professional credentials. It’s not even the fact that she fits the MAGA Barbie mold a little too perfectly for the left’s liking. The problem, as far as I can tell, is that she might have a little too much in common with Jenna’s Side subscribers.
