In the end, the unifying theme amongst these diverse young men, is fix the economy so I have a place in it. Exactly what Bernie has been saying.

Three Years Left Before we May Reach the Climate Change Tipping Point
Good thing we’re working hard to fix that, right?
Three years left to limit warming to 1.5C, leading scientists warn
Drill, baby, drill. Your kids and grand-kids will thank you.
Dispelling Myths About Vaccines
“Since late April, an infectious diseases specialist at Stanford University and his colleagues have been volunteering their time on a project they hope will help educate the public, and combat misinformation, about the safety and efficacy vaccines.”
Vaccine RCT spreadsheet aims to show the data, dispel myths about vaccines
Stewart is on Fire
Watch it all the way.
If You Are Religious
I tend to believe most people who claim to be religious are, in fact, hypocrites. But, assuming there are some actual Christians reading this, let Bernie put the Republican budget into perspective…
Update: In case you thought I was being uncharitable when I said most Christians are hypocrites. Please see below…
‘Christian’ Lobbyists Embrace Ohio Republican Budget That Guts Programs to Help the Poor and Hungry
Insanity
The science behind vaccines is some of the most stringent in medicine. Double-blind tests are mandatory. Vaccines have been one of the most important developments of modern medicine; perhaps only second to antibiotics.
CDC vaccine advisers who were removed from committee by RFK Jr. speak out
NIH has been a great leader in medical research and outreach. It has made some of the best science based educational computer software out there.
Judge rules some NIH grant cuts illegal, saying he’s never seen such discrimination in 40 years
Capricious, and racist, these cuts were designed to please their fan base. This guy should know.
Trump’s former surgeon general is now one of his most pointed critics
No Kings Day
Kent, Ohio today
My wife and I attended the “No Kings” protest in Kent today. Nice turnout, great vibe, it felt good. I saw quite a few veterans there as well as other folks you wouldn’t expect to see at a protest. I saw two people with a sign that read something to the effect of “I have too many reasons to be here to list on this sign”. I only saw one really vulgar sign that contained the “F” word. Most of the rest were clever or just sincere. One veteran carried a sign that read “My oath did not expire. I’m still defending the constitution” which I thought was nice.
Listen to Bernie!
These guys are crooks. This budget is a crime.
Scott Galloway Spells it Out
Hey Trumpers, the emperor has no clothes.
How is it the EPA?
If the goal is to protect the environment LESS?
Trump’s EPA announces major rollbacks to power plant pollution limits
Just more Trumpian evil. It should also be mentioned that the Ohio State Legislature has, over the last few years, killed enough solar power projects to have powered Ohio’s three largest cities.
Jimmy Kimmel’s Monologue Last Night
I don’t normally post Kimmel’s stuff. While I think he is usually dead on in his criticism of Trump, I frequently don’t enjoy his comedy sketches. The events in Los Angles are a welcome distraction for Trump, from his “Big Beautiful Bill” that will kick 7.7 million people off Medicaid, reduce or eliminate SNAP benefits for needy families, make most civil servants eligible to fire and replace with sycophants, and so many more dreadful things. Not to mention Elon’s casual mention of Trump being in the Epstein files (something most of us knew anyway). So Trump wants this fight. Kimmel puts the whole thing into perspective…
It is interesting that Trump’s insurgents, who broke into the Capitol and assaulted police, were “fine people” who were mistreated. But these protestors are “bad actors” and “paid protestors”.
Getting Rid of FEMA
This is a good way to disguise that Trump has been using FEMA funds to pay for his frequent golf outings. It isn’t like states are going to have any more drastic disasters. Right? Just a waste.
Trump says he plans to phase out FEMA after 2025 hurricane season
Maybe he’ll declare that he “fixed” hurricanes.
What Could Go Wrong?
“The Intern in Charge”: Meet the 22-Year-Old Trump’s Team Picked to Lead Terrorism Prevention
Um, what? No experience and you want him to lead an anti-terrorism unit?
Alleged Spy Was Also 22-Year-Old Ex-Grocery Store Clerk Hired by Trump
Hmmm. That ended quickly. Only the best people.
A Hill to Die On
Recently Jeopardy had a category on, “That body of water to the South and West of Florida”, which was pretty funny. What a petty, small man. I can not understand how anyone would want him to be their leader.
Stupid is as Stupid Does
Illinois Republican mistakes Sikh for Muslim, calls him delivering prayer in House ‘deeply troubling’
*sigh* Gotta love ‘dem ‘Publicans.
I Used to Really Like SpaceX
What the heck is wrong with this guy?
SpaceX’s Company Town May Force Its Residents to Leave Their Homes
Why does he need to trash the environment of every place he builds? If you have time watch this for more of Elon’s environmental shenanigans. This time in Memphis.
Arnold is the Voice of Common Sense
Will Smith said when he was just starting out he met Arnold and said, “I want to be a movie star like you. How do I do it?” Arnold replied, “If you want to be a movie star you can’t just be popular in the U.S.” Smith said it was common sense, but no one else ever told him that, and it was important. Back before he was governor in California, Arnold had a Humvee converted to electric. He said, “No one will buy electric cars until they’re sexy.” Tesla proved that one right. Watching a video of a Tesla Plaid Edition blow the doors off a Dodge Hellcat in a drag race was pretty cool. Arnold often has the sense to put things into perspective really simply. If you haven’t before, watch his video he released after the January 6th 2020 insurgence. Great stuff. Sadly you have to be native born to be President because he’s one Republican I would vote for.
The Planet is on Fire
Climate change is going to cost A LOT. This year is predicted to have record temperatures. Guess what year is the current record holder? That would be last year. Second place goes to 2023, third to 2022 and so on. The longer we wait to deal with this, the longer we stall, the more it will cost our kids.
Summer 2025 forecast calls for ‘overwhelmingly above normal’ heat starting in June
Consequences

Drugs are Bad, Unless Elon Does Them
Drug claims overshadow Musk’s Oval Office farewell
Hmmm. Well I’m sure that’s not going to fly…
Stephen Miller on report of Musk drug use: We’re worried about drugs crossing the border
I guess it did. Incompetence and drug use all in one. Invest in Tesla now!
BTW, Those that are ignorant of history are doomed to repeat it. If only Musk studied the stories of other businessmen who tried this…
100 years before Elon Musk, one of America’s richest men came to fix Washington. It didn’t end well.
The richest men are always surrounded by sycophants who will tell them they are geniuses. Maybe they are smart, but they are also lucky. They forget that part. Business and government are two completely different entities. They would be wise to remember that. It looks like Elon also thought he knew more than doctors and prescribed himself medications he shouldn’t have. Elvis fell for that one.
Caught Using A.I. to do His Homework
Hmmmm.
White House acknowledges problems in RFK Jr.’s MAHA report
Perhaps he should talk to Education Secretary McMahon about A. I.? Or uh, A 1 as she calls it. She’s a real expert.
What a bunch of amateurs.
A Little Help for Elon
A letter to sad Elon Musk, from America: ‘Hey pal, sorry everybody was mean.’ | Opinion
So true. It is a truism that smart people can be very dumb.
A Solemn Message of Remembrance from the President
This morning Donald Trump wrote this…
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL, INCLUDING THE SCUM THAT SPENT THE LAST FOUR YEARS TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY THROUGH WARPED RADICAL LEFT MINDS, WHO ALLOWED 21,000,000 MILLION PEOPLE TO ILLEGALLY ENTER OUR COUNTRY, MANY OF THEM BEING CRIMINALS AND THE MENTALLY INSANE,THROUGH AN OPEN BORDER THAT ONLY AN INCOMPETENT PRESIDENT WOULD APPROVE, AND THROUGH JUDGES WHO ARE ON A MISSION TO KEEP MURDERERS, DRUG DEALERS, RAPISTS, GANG MEMBERS, AND RELEASED PRISONERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, IN OUR COUNTRY SO THEY CAN ROB, MURDER, AND RAPE AGAIN — ALL PROTECTED BY THESE USA HATING JUDGES WHO SUFFER FROM AN IDEOLOGY THAT IS SICK, AND VERY DANGEROUS FOR OUR COUNTRY. HOPEFULLY THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT, AND OTHER GOOD AND COMPASSIONATE JUDGES THROUGHOUT THE LAND, WILL SAVE US FROM THE DECISIONS OF THE MONSTERS WHO WANT OUR COUNTRY TO GO TO HELL. BUT FEAR NOT, WE HAVE MADE GREAT PROGRESS OVER THE LAST 4 MONTHS, AND AMERICA WILL SOON BE SAFE AND GREAT AGAIN! AGAIN, HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY, AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!
I’m not sure what to say, from “happy Memorial Day” onward. How can this be our country? Aren’t we better than this strange petty man?
Another Attack on Public Education in Ohio
It is hard enough for districts to get levies and bond issues passed. This is just another assault on Public Education because teacher unions are the last public unions that reliably raise money for Democratic candidates. I mean, if Republican candidates supported schools like some of them used to, this wouldn’t be an issue. But it’s the kids who are losing out.
YouTube video from WEWS Channel 5: Ohio bill would restrict election, levy information from being sent out during early voting
You can’t embed a video from News Channel 5 I guess, so you must watch it on Youtube.
