Spent the morning at the SM Clark Mall here in the Philippines. More foreigners today. Not all old guys. Met a gentleman from Houston who has been living here for 12 years. He’s from Houston. Met an Israeli lady traveling with her Army daughter. They’re traveling throughout Asia.

youtube.com/live/_9cL2SJ... Dr. Ed Weir has been preaching the risk, as objectively as can be done, for years. I’m not sure enough people are listening! If we cannot force Trump, Vance, Musk, Rubio, and Graham back into line, then we must destroy their political future.

www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-m... The only insidious ploy is this bastards theft of our tax dollars to grift his own billion dollar profits. Dr. Ed Weir on YouTube has predicted this Republican ploy for a long time. How do we stop these fools?

I so want to move completely to Bluesky, but it’s hard because I don’t like its more Twitteresque style. I like the Facebook Stories, Reels, and photo Album storage ability. Not to mention frequently using Messenger. What am I missing?

Goddamn I despise Trump, Vance, and their minions! Zelensky should totally dump the United States and go with everyone else.

www.facebook.com/share/p/1FPD... WARNING to every other country! This is how you can expect to be treated by Trump and his minions. One of the most insulting of Trump and Vance ever seen. Zelensky had every right to call their bluff and he’s smart enough to do it where we can all see.

Trump stepped in it big by stopping USAID? Costing our farmers and letting food rot in US ports. A foreign correspondent reminded us that the CIA has their fingers in USAID. Collecting intelligence means using any available cover. Our allies continuing to share intelligence with us? Nah!

Just a reminder that Strictly Bluegrass airs 10:00AM-Noon Sunday at www.koop.org they are in the midst of their Spring membership drive. One of the best Community radio stations in the country. I spent 15 years as host (with numerous cohosts) of the show. Bluegrass rules!

Should I reply aggressively in Facebook to anti-Ukrainian gun-toting Texans! I replied pretty harshly to an obvious MAGA post this morning that called me a racist and had nothing in their profile except a 2nd Amendment pic. I’m sick of these jerks and ready to fight with their own medicine!

I cannot believe Governor Abbott tried told Canada that Texas would teach them a lesson. Oh, really? Canada is quite possibly the most respected country in the World! As the Canadian minister reminded Abbott, there’s $400 million worth of potential Canadian tourism to Texas. Is Las Vegas next?

Hakeem Jeffries exhibits one of the key elements of a great leader. He knows how to “be quiet!” In today’s discussion with the press he showed perfect examples of how a true leader should act. This is a man who should be destined for even higher office.

How the Hell does Trump think he could take all Palestinians out of Gaza, use the United States military to implement his idea, then redevelop Gaza for his Oligarch Fascists?Palestinians will retaliate. Middle Eastern terrorists will retaliate. European allies will retaliate. A preposterous idea!

Seeing a lot of nasty things today. Operating out of the Philippines right now, so it’s about Noon on Wednesday here and late evening Tuesday time in Austin, Texas. Medicaid Web site down, Trumpians stopping funding for all sorts of things. And, their lizards like Stephen Miller lying his ass off.

www.rappler.com/world/us-can... This story popped up this morning on my Rappler app. But, I did a text search on CNN and found nothing. A Google search did find several articles. Gotta learn to be savvy in today’s corrupted media world in the U. S.

Why some Instagram users aren’t able to unfollow Trump and JD Vance So, I guess I wasn’t totally crazy after all!

One source gives this possible reason for the automated Facebook Follow of Trump and Vance this morning “Meta spokesman Andy Stone said in a Threads post that the official POTUS and White House accounts are managed by the White House and “change when the occupant of the White House changes.”

I also just discovered that I do not appear to have the ability to Suspend or Close my Facebook Profile from Facebook using my iPhone. I will check on my laptop later. If so, this would be a serious breach of social media ethics. Not that Trump or Zuckerberg would give a shit anyway!

My disgusting Facebook discovery this morning and my response. I saw a Facebook post that said we had been forced to follow Trump and Vance! I called up their page, clicked on their Profile, and I had been forced as a Follower of both. Closing my Facebook for now. Choice words not included!

I love Trumps idea that his “drill baby drill” policy could cause the price of oil to drop precipitously. Which, will cause the cost of producing oil to be too low to make producing it cost effective. Go ahead, bankrupt the oil industry. Fine with me, especially in Texas!

Watching the inauguration on independent news vlogs. One of the most obscene and ludicrous I’ve ever seen. When I opened Facebook this morning up popped Trump and J. D. Vance profiles to attempt to force you to view or follow their posts. I immediately blocked them.

Well, I guess it’s Inauguration Day! I won’t be watching live. Already 8:55PM on Monday here in the Philippines. I’ll wait until tomorrow evening to review the Trumpian facade on my favorite independent news vlogs. Good luck folks. I hope he surprises me. But, I’m sure he won’t.

youtube.com/watch?v=GT-1... Some profound risks to us. Tech oligarchs must be held accountable. We should support media, and particularly social media, when they support objective truth and associated commentary, but also moderate false conspiracies and intentional disinformation and propaganda.
