Amazon’s Prime Day set another sales record for the company, topping sales on Black Friday, Cyber Monday and last year’s Prime Day with Instant Pot pressure cookers, 23 and Me DNA tests and personal water filters proving to be the hot-ticket items in the United States.
Newsweek
Don't call us the U S of A --
we've now become Amazon Prey.
Even Trump's hairline
is ordered from online --
and Bezos will now hear us pray.
President Trump continued to struggle on Wednesday with the fallout from his meeting with President Vladimir V. Putin, denying that Russia was still interfering in American elections, only to have the White House later claim that he had yet again been misunderstood.
NYT
When Trump now says 'Yes' he means 'No.'
When he says 'Heatwave' it means 'Snow.'
His tongue is so forked
it ought to be corked --
he spreads his manure with backhoe.
The triumph of English has been remarkable. Most major European multinational companies adopted English as their boardroom language more than a decade ago. English has long since overtaken French as the de facto language of the EU. Increasingly, Europe’s leading national politicians speak English when they meet each other bilaterally. In the past 14 months, Spain, France and Poland have all acquired new fluently English-speaking leaders, replacing monoglot predecessors.

Sweet English is the only tongue
that keeps the mind and breath quite young.
It conquers ev'ry type of guff
that comes from speaking other stuff.
Too bad that in the USA
we're speaking Spanish more each day.
Not that Hispanic is a curse,
but I can't put it into verse!
