www.nytimes.com/2025/01/11/u... “Hegseth committed sexual assault, mismanaged the veterans’ nonprofits he ran and was frequently publicly intoxicated.” Disqualifying, disgusting !

www.nytimes.com/2025/01/08/u... “24 million Americans, a record, have already signed up for plans under the program, popularly known as Obamacare, during the current enrollment period, according to the White House.” and Trump and his dwarves want to get rid of it! Idiots!

Chief Justice Roberts has the nerve to whine about detractors suggesting “political bias in the judge’s adverse rulings without a credible basis for such allegations.” The gaslighting is real. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/31/u...

It’s a new year. Let’s start fresh.

Stocks on pace for best two years in a quarter-century - WSJ THANK YOU PRESIDENT BIDEN AND DEMOCRATS

Churches close their doors as fewer Americans attend - ABC News “Today, just 45% say the same, the analytics company noted, and only 32% say that they worship God in a house of prayer once a week.” maybe if the churches weren’t so greedy and hypocritical ….

www.nytimes.com/2024/12/27/w... Remember, the reason the Canadian ministers are coming. Mar-a-Lago is because convicted felons from America are not allowed into Canada! Trump cannot get into Canada. That’s why he is making all this noise about taking it over!

Boy, you sure don’t hear about drones anymore. Or the price of eggs.

Republicans hold the thinnest margin in the country’s history - WSJ “Republicans held on to control of the House of Representatives in November by one of the thinnest margins in the country’s history—even smaller than in the current Congress” Mandate? NOPE

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!!

Be careful what you wish for!

Merit and the Case for Immigration by Phil Gramm and Robert Topel - WSJ “Based on research, immigrant households are more likely to have both natural parents in the household. Also, their children were half as likely to have behavioral problems at school.”

www.nytimes.com/2024/12/24/u... “Trump is inheriting a nuclear buildup he helped create. Iran’s program was frozen after the 2015 nuclear accord with Obama. But Trump pulled out of the accord, predicted that the Iranians would come begging for another deal. They did not.”

www.nytimes.com/2024/12/18/u... Timid Republicans killed the bipartisan immigration bill, and now are going to cause a government shutdown, and deprive people of their paychecks during the holiday season. Because of Trump. And because Republicans are not patriots. Shameful.

People spontaneously combust too infrequently by my count.

📌“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.” ― Lyndon B. Johnson *(One of the most prescient things ever said by anybody.)

Trump shift in deportation message - WSJ “One frustrated Trump ally said: “When you keep excluding people from mass detention and deportation saying ‘we’ll get the worst of the worst first’—guess what, that also happens to be Biden’s immigration policy.” Welcome to reality

Hang in there, Nancy Mace.

I heard RFK Jr. is floating the banning of the polio vaccine so seems like a good time to remind folks that RFK Jr. was vaccinated with this same vaccine & therefore is at no risk of harm himself Kinda like when he publicly was against the covid vaccine yet privately required his guests to have it🙃

Easily the best description of him I’ve ever read.

'Exaggerated his own importance': Kash Patel gets brutal fact check from NYT “Patel has both exaggerated his own importance and misleadingly distorted the department’s broader effort," the Times said, citing public documents and interviews with several law enforcement officials.

Trump’s pick to lead Pentagon walks back controversial comments on women, gay troops in military - POLITICO “Hegseth faces allegations of sexual assault, excessive drinking and financial mismanagement — all of which have led to more probing questions about his suitability for the role.”

“GOP senator reports “good discussions” with Rapist/Drunk/Fraudster Hegseth - WaPo “Hegseth, who paid off sexual assault victim and faces allegations of alcohol abuse and mismanagement of nonprofits for veterans, promised no more raping or drinking!”

www.bbc.com/news/article... Gabbard faces fresh scrutiny over Syria and Russia - Fox “Russian state media praised Gabbard! Prominent host Olga Skabeyeva said "from the first days of Russia's special operation in Ukraine, Gabbard criticised the actions of the Biden administration.”

www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/o... “Gabbard is wholly unqualified for the job. She has never directed or managed anything, and has embraced conspiracy theories and championed Russian disinformation.”

www.nytimes.com/2024/12/08/w... “ Mr. al-Khatib was one of at least 24 people employed by UNRWA — in 24 different schools — who were members of Hamas or Islamic Jihad, another militant group.” #DefundTheUN UNRWA is a terrorist organization. SHAMEFUL!

I understand hating opinion columns, I say this as an opinion columnist, but reporting is good and if American democracy is going to survive we desperately need reporting to expose corruption.

Markwayne Mullin on Hegseth’s drinking: TAPPER: Drinking at 10 in the morning, that’s a drinking problem. MULLIN: Yeah & there’s probably a lot of media that has a drinking problem too. TAPPER: A drunk reporter who is drinking at 10 AM…is not in charge of the 3 million person defense department.💥

Musk/Ramaswamy’s Department of Government Efficiency ‘has no authority” - Moneywise.com “I hate to rain on this parade, but the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is not a real department. It exists outside of government and has no authority to do anything. Government is free to ignore them”

Folks, remembered, we followed plenty of accounts from Nutt jobs like Margie Green, handy Clyde, Jim Jordan, because we wanted to see the crazy shit they were spouting. Go back to Twitter, Unfollow everybody, everybody, everybody, then let’s chat on blue sky!

In case you missed it, a Wisconsin judge this week struck down former Gov. Scott Walker's Act 10 law. The move will restore public sector workers' collective bargaining rights. This is a moment of celebration and hope in these troubled times.
