Nothing to see here folks.
Guess who bought JD Vance’s house outside DC for over asking price? A former Trump official.
Must have been a real generous guy to have offered $172,000 over asking price! Such nice people. Of course he does make money from government contracts. But this couldn’t be a conflict of interest. Could it?
It always amazed me that Republicans I talked to would regularly complain about the influence of George Soros on the Democratic party while ignoring the influence of the Koch brothers or Sheldon Adelson on the Republican party. Truth is there are a LOT more billionaires funding the Republicans that those funding the Democrats. Here is the story of one…
‘Cause we know which party can get behind animal cruelty and an unsafe food supply.
No. The revolution began a while ago. You won. Now comes the executions of your “enemies”.
Mass layoffs are underway at the nation’s public health agencies
This is a disaster. American health care research is some of the best in the world, even if our actual health care system is a mess. For most of the twentieth century, the FDA, the NIH and the CDC where the gold standard for the world. I do not oppose efficiency. I welcome it. But the way to cut fat is with a scalpel not a chainsaw. Unless you aren’t actually operating on a patient, you’re butchering a hog.
Remember, all this cutting isn’t so we can pay off the debt. Nope, it’s all to pay for more tax cuts for the wealthy. Enjoy the revolution, peasants. Don’t believe me? Check out the Republican budget. BTW, the one place in the government where fraud and waste are very well documented has not really been discussed. That’s at the Pentagon. Wonder why they didn’t start there?
Another day…
Trump commutes sentence of convicted fraudster who aided GOP effort to impeach Biden
Only three years and nine months of this left to go.
Trump is a liar. Everyone knows it. Why some people chose him as their leader says a lot about them. Who would want a liar to be in charge? What kind of people are they?
Here is the truth, from our old friend Juan Williams…
Opinion – Trump and Musk are targeting Social Security, and you should worry
I mean, I know why. Do You?
Trump administration reportedly moves to ban Jackie Robinson biography from Naval Academy library
The Robinson biography is reportedly one of 900 books identified as conflicting with the order, with other examples including “The Autobiography of Martin Luther King Jr.” and “Einstein on Race and Racism.”
Never forget who these people really are. And what they represent. #beentheredonethat
None of this is a secret, the problem has been known for years.
So why are they looking in the wrong place? I wonder.
Professor Galloway is a really smart guy. He’s someone who, to me at least, seems to speak common sense. He isn’t partisan. This whole video is interesting.
The actor Wil Wheaton has said that’s his personal motto and advice to anybody. It’s good advice. This story got me thinking about that advice…
Sarah McBride targeted in heated exchange about her gender in congressional hearing
Okay, there are a lot of different opinions about how transgender people should be treated and what guidelines should be established in society to account for them. I get that. But what Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe did, was just being a dick. Just a rude asshole.
Update: GOP lawmaker explains why he called trans Dem ‘Mr. McBride’: ‘I don’t have to participate in his fantasy’
Yep. He’s a dick
Y’know when I was teaching there was a guy who lived on the street next to the school. He had a fenced in yard and gated drive with a “no trespassing” sign. A just below his American flag on his flagpole was a flag that read “Fuck Biden”. Every Middle school and High School bus in that town drove past his place twice a day. What a lovely message for the kids to see. I lost count of how many T-Shirts I saw with Trump giving the middle finger, or with the slogan “Trump 2024, Fuck your Feelings” or flags, banners and stickers that said “Let’s Go Brandon” (which at least is better). And then there was the story of a guy who had a vinyl wrap made for his pick-up truck tailgate that showed Biden hog-tied in the bed of the truck, charming. A couple days ago good ‘ol Elon called Sen. Mark Kelly a “traitor” for visiting Ukraine (an ally of the U.S.!). Chances are if you know someone who might qualify as a dick, they probably voted for Trump. This does not mean I think everyone who voted for Trump is a dick, nor do I think that everyone who deserves that moniker voted for Trump. Just that my observations indicate he won that minority group by a landslide.
How do I know? Strangely, I haven seen any “Fuck Trump” signs, flags, stickers, or shirts. I’m sure they exist, but I’ve never seen any. All this reminds me of a comedy sketch…
Oh, and one more thing. it reminds me of some advice my old boss Hassan told me, “Boy, you lay down with dogs, you wake up with fleas.”
It also reminds me of a Mr. Boch quote, “No one was every harmed by acting like a lady or a gentleman.” Be a gentleman.
Or perhaps someone you know? As we have seen in previous posts, one third to one half of America gets its news from social media. That isn’t the only thing that rings a bell in this video.
My takeaway, one third to one half of Americans get their news from Facebook or Instagram. What the Heck? A sad statistic from our anti-educational and anti-intellectual society. This video has another insightful interview with Scott Galloway. If you haven’t seen his TED talk, please look it up.
Another even better rant by Galloway…
I like how he thinks…
