Tariffs UP. Groceries UP. Exports DOWN. Stock market DOWN. Consumer confidence DOWN. Chance of a recession UP UP UP. After Trump left, it took Biden 4 years to rebuild the US economy. It’s taken Trump just 6 weeks to destroy it again.

Today is the last day for the next month and a half that I won't be posting a new podcast. Oh, they'll be short in duration, but they will be regular, like clockwork. Trains leaving the station just after 5 a.m. #LentRoll starts tomorrow.

Dusting off my old Oxford English Dictionary and consulting carefully, I could not find "attack friends and submit to enemies" as a definition of the word "strength."

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

"He's walking around in this dress that she wore. She's gone, but the joke's the same." (Psychedelic Furs - Songwriters: Richard Lofthouse Butler / Timothy Butler / John Ashton / Vincent Davey / Duncan Kilburn / Roger Morris) The lyrics in "Pretty In Pink" are more interesting than most realize.

Inspire by @rememberthispod.bsky.social I finally watched Torn Curtain, Topaz, and Frenzy. I'd now have to go back to WW2 to find a Hitchcock movie I haven't seen before. Torn Curtain - good, but I don't need to see it again. Topaz - least of these 3, but I will rewatch. Frenzy - best of these 3.

In the past, when presidents tried to trim the number of government employees, the result was not lowering the cost of the government. This is because those jobs were often given to private contractors at higher rates. So it is no coincidence that a big private contractor is running this DOGE scam.

“Today I re-learned that more Christians were martyred by each other in the decades after the Reformation than were martyred by the Roman Empire and a whole lot of things are making way more sense. No one hates Christians more than other Christians.” (Kat Armas)

“If our Christianity causes kids to go hungry, the sick to go without healthcare, the stranger to be unwelcome, the elderly on social security to be called a ‘parasite,’ all while billionaires get richer, we’ve profoundly misunderstood the most basic elements of Jesus’ teachings.” (Benjamin Cremer)

“You will never convince me that the song ‘it ain’t over til it’s over’ was released in 1991 and not 1973.” (Leila Sales) That very thought is when I started using the term Lenny & The Family Kravitz as an homage to both Lenny and Sly.

For any who are confused, "Lift Every Voice And Sing" is much older, decades older, than the presence of "under God" in the Pledge Of Allegiance.

It's time Congress pulled him in front of them and demanded he do the same. What say you, @alsobrooks.senate.gov and @vanhollen.senate.gov? Note: You all might also want to make him take a drug test like any other federal employee is required to do.

Sometimes when I suggest that Christians are doing a bad job at Christianity, and that certain core functions of following Jesus need to improve immediately, I get push-back from those same Christians. Words like "Bible-believing" are sometimes used. Data suggest I am right to be concerned...

How Satan works through the religious right: when I hear "family" now, I think of hatred, indifference to suicide, even child molestation. The religious right believes in Satan far more than I ever will, perhaps because they so often do the bidding of evil dressed in self-righteousness.
