Retired from thirty five years of making newspapers. I miss being a part of that.

Nazi Barbie really outdid herself today refusing to accept a question from a sitting US Senator. Handcuffing as a response to an attempt at oversight is totally unacceptable, heavy handed and smacking of the fascism we were warned of from before the election.
Noem should resign immediately.

I just read a news report claiming at least one Tesla owner willing to accept as little as $2000 trade-in to off load the toxic brand. fElon is getting a taste of consumer shock and awe here in the real world. May his days be numbered.

BBC has become my go to for international news. Just watched a live interview with an American aid worker from Texas who survived an overnight Russian missile attack on a hotel in central Ukraine which killed four and injured thirty. A hotel most used by foreign aid workers. Slava Ukrainii!

For those of you who will be watching the Orange Buffoon tonight (I won’t) just remember his lips will be moving so it should be obvious that he is LYING. With every breath…

Let’s make sure trumps joint address to Congress tomorrow night has the lowest viewership in the history of television. I’m not watching. Why the hell should you? Can’t wait to see if Musk figures out how to upstage him again. I’m waiting for the highlights.

The Dick Tater in Chief really showed us something today. The United States is no longer leader of the free world and cannot be trusted by our allies. Trump the Orange shamed himself and our country in the eyes of the world. Puck Futin.

“They’re Scared Shitless”: The Threat of Political Violence Informing Trump’s Grip on Congress
With the president smashing norm after norm, even lawmakers within his party have feared for their personal safety, and at least one has told confidants that it has swayed his decision-making.

If I hadn’t already cancelled my subscription to the Washington Post over a previous act of capitulation I certainly would’ve today after the Post refused a $15,000 two page wrap ad demanding Trump fire co-president Elon Musk before he can do more damage to the country. The Oligarch Bezos at work.
