Also known as “The Little Bang Theory.”

NEW: The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that a 2021 censorship law can't be used to ban teaching about race and gender in Oklahoma's higher education institutions. This is a win for academic freedom and the First Amendment.

Yeah. We’re screwed. www.wired.com/story/far-ri...

My thoughts exactly. Even raw boots after two weeks are better than that.

No notes.

We can now refer to The Onion for future news…

Wow. Sly Stone, now Brian Wilson. Two huge influences on the sound of music gone within days of each other. Where is that spark of genius today? And if it is here, can we recognize it while we are still so close? Or do we have to wait for time and death to give us the perspective to name it?

This is where the National Guard was last mobilized over a state governor’s objection. That governor was segregationist George Wallace. President Lyndon Johnson sent in the National Guard to SUPPORT protesters. Our “leader” is now sending troops to snuff out free speech and assembly. It is wrong.

“Nobody is going to spit on our officers” is a helluva quote coming from a half-baked taco who just pardoned hundreds of people who beat officers, ransacked our nation’s capitol and wiped shit on the walls. Is anyone in the GOP Congress even slightly embarrassed to be blindly following this idiot?

Here's authoritarianism in action. This is the pool assignment for White House press coverage for the next week. This is why you get half-assed softball questions lobbed at these evil mothers.

I just have to say for those of you not in LA that in the days before the horrible raids started, there was no crisis or whatever they would let you believe. It wasn't like something was escalating out of control and somebody had to step in. THEY are creating the problems.

HOLY CRAP! Watch this clip. You will see the last officer in the line turn, aim and deliberately shoot at the reporter. Who’s causing the escalation? It’s the police, not the protesters. This is unconscionable. Congress need to dig their collective head out of King Yam Tits’ ass and ACT!

Less than 45 minutes after President Donald Trump thanked the National Guard "for a job well done!" Mayor Karen Bass clarified on social media "the National Guard has not been deployed in the City of Los Angeles."

Well, so much for the mainstream media. Moran wasn’t ranting. He wrote an honest assessment of what he saw, based on his own experience. Anyone who has seen Miller speak his hate and saw the things he posted yesterday would not disagree with Terry. In a sane world, Miller would be fired outright.

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

If you needed proof that Miller et al are scripting this… well, here ya go.

One other observation on King Yam Tits’ $45 million parade… If it isn’t a huge authoritarian spectacle to mark the dark, dark anniversary of his spawning, then why aren’t we doing all this three weeks later for the nation’s 250th birthday? Seems like that would be a much bigger deal…

In a former life a looong time ago, I commanded a National Guard unit. Although though we were very well trained in our primary mission, I would never have put my men on the streets in a riot. It is not what soldiers are trained for. Federalizing troops without training in LA is inviting chaos.

Suddenly our Bimbo General declares Agrego Garcia is a mastermind in human trafficking while the senior prosecutor in the district bringing the charges resigns in disgust. Can we get any lower? You betcha! Tomorrow they'll find a way to dig a trench under this one. abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

After the revelations of the last weeks of DOGE idiocy, destruction and ineptitude, explain to me how these PECKERHEADS on the Supreme Court think access to our nations' tax records is smart? And yeah, peckerheads. Goofy-ass white folk who don't know better. thehill.com/regulation/c...

The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy but I still like seeing them fight

NEW: "These are people who have the power to shape the nation’s immigration policies, national security priorities, health care services, surveillance powers, civil rights enforcement, personnel decisions and much more." www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

That about sums it up. Try it with your friends. If the lights stay off behind their eyes, start reevaluating who you keep in your circle.

The boom box still has me laughing. Perfect!
