Inflation just hit 4.2%, but don’t worry, the president has a solution; He’ll hold a rally.

Holding the World Cup and Olympics in the US were wonderful ideas, right up until we elected that moron. Now? Sheee-yitttt!

Solar power is now cheaper than coal, oil, or natural gas. The biggest barrier to widespread solar adoption is Public Utility Commissions that protect the utilities at the expense of the public

It isn’t “Vote blue no matter who” as much as it is “Reject R whoever they are”

Charges of rigged elections is how republicans concede defeat.

Victory in Ukraine, and for that matter, Iran, isn’t who builds the best drones. It’s who can create the first portable, effective, drone defense system.

In simple terms, inflation is up 3.8%, plus the rise in gas and groceries. If your after-tax income has not increased by at least 5-6% in the last year, your standard of living has declined, and will continue to do so.

New law: Pro sports teams names belong to the city. If a team moves, it has to change its name and livery. “Hammond Hogs” or “Indiana Scammers”

Eventually, the US will lose to Iran. Our ships will leave, Iran will control the Straits, they will keep their nuclear program and most or all sanctions will be dropped. And Trump will proclaim an “overwhelming victory”.

Considering how he lies, I wonder what the scores on his cognitive tests were really like? If he did 100% on the first one they wouldn’t do 3 in 13 months

If he was buried in a public place with a 7/24 police guard, and it was posted that it was a $1,000 fine to piss on his grave, you would have a line a mile long willing to pay it.

I would think one advantage of same-sex marriage is that there would be much less arguing over the toilet seat. But I could be wrong

Another performer has dropped out of Trump’s show. That’s 6 as of this writing. In another week they will down to Rubio and Hegseth doing drunk karaoke

The current administration is like a bad stereotype of a 70’s 3rd-world dictatorship.

Paxton has 3 strengths in Texas: Absolutely loyal to Trump Absolutely opposed to any LGBTQ rights, including the right to exist Absolutely opposed to abortion under any circumstances and indifferent to women dying It seems grotesque, but to many in Texas those are positive points

Idea: a version of the Magic 8-ball for old farts that only answers the question “Why did I come into this room again?”

I am convinced that the people who design fitness centers for hotels have never actually tried to work out in one. I have never seen a 12.5, 17.5, or 22.5 dumbbell in a hotel.

Wonder if he did another cognizance test while at Walter Reed? They need to track the progress of his mental deterioration.

Capitalism is like a fire; it makes a wonderful servant but a terrible master. Right now the fire is the master and it is out of control. Votes and laws and courts can control it. The alternatives are much less pleasant.

Iran isn’t going to agree to anything. Iran will hold out 5 more months. Just before or after the midterms, when Trump is under pressure or has reduced power, they will get serious. And they will clean him out while he proclaims overwhelming victory.

If the president of the US wanted to go to the Bahamas to attend his son’s wedding, I have no doubt the local government would find a way to agree to it. They know what kind of racist, vindictive, petty little shit he really is.

Our civil rights are not God-given. God doesn’t give us rights. We have rights because we the people have taken that power from the government.

I know that hotel reservations for the World Cup are ‘way down in America. Are they any better in Canada and Mexico? Just curious

After Colbert tonight, CBS stands for Can’t Be Seen for me

A lot of folks think Trump is going to give a million each to the J6ers, but I disagree. If he has $1.8 billion to give to “deserving people”, and he controls who gets it, nobody is going to be more deserving than Donald J Trump.

In any activity, if you have an idea, try it. If it works, keep using it. If it doesn’t work, stop it. Simple enough? We have been using trickle-down economics for over 40 years now, and it absolutely Does Not Work. It’s time to roll back the tax cuts for the rich.

There will be a lot of talk about million-dollar payments to J6ers, But it won’t quite happen. As the mid-terms approach, he’ll make it clear than any payment will be contingent on keeping both houses. They’ll attack where directed.

Religion is a collection of beliefs held together by faith. Science is a collection of facts held together by verifiable evidence. Don’t call religious beliefs facts. Don’t call proven facts beliefs

Trump is going to China and it will be a disaster. He only knows how to negotiate from a position of overwhelming strength. He doesn’t have that advantage in China. Xi will listen politely and give him nothing

I’ve said that Iran will try to hold out until the mid-terms put pressure on Trump, but it may not take that long. Gas is $4.50+ and climbing. If/when it hits $6.00/gal (!?!) Trump will give them anything they want.

He says he has all the cards but I think he’s lost his marbles!

If Congress passes the bill to use tax money to pay for Trump’s ballroom, then the next democrat president cannot use an EO to raze it. If it’s built by law, it should be removed by law. I know, Trump tore down the East Wing illegally, but he’s always been a criminal.

Since Pope Leo took office, Obama is now the second-most popular guy from the south side of Chicago. #3 is Leroy Brown.

The reason we always refer to him as RFK Jr is that calling him “Kennedy” would be an insult to the Kennedy legacy.

It isn’t that we can’t win a war with Iran. It’s just that we can’t win it cheaply. To defeat Iran will take: -ground invasion, 500K+ troops -occupation force 1.5 milion -resume the draft -mobilized industries -wage/price controls -top tax bracket~95% How bad do you want it, Don?

Trump thinks Americans should gladly endure these gas prices for patriotism and to support the war against Iran. Bullshit! I gladly endure these gas prices because I know they are eroding the crap out of Trump’s public support.

For those who fear that our news media have lost all courage and can no longer ask the hard questions of leaders, fear not: as soon as we get a democrat as president they’ll all grow spines and fangs overnight.

When this is over Iran will: -allow normal number of ships to pass through the Straits. -be charging tolls on each ship -have its refined uranium -be refining more uranium -have all sanctions lifted -be returned billions in frozen assets. Trump will have a parade to celebrate his “great victory”

Another round of “one side makes a peace proposal that the other side studies and rejects”. In all cases, these proposals are “we get everything we want and you get nothing”. This war is now just Iran and the US trying to starve each other out.

The Iran war has failed to accomplish its most important single purpose: we still haven’t forgotten about the Epstein files. Trump raped 7th-grade girls.

When they give you a cognitive test once, they’re looking for signs of Alzheimer’s. When they give you 3 they’re tracking its progress.

Republicans want to blow a billion dollars on greater security for Trump. Be a lot cheaper for him to just grow some balls.

Iran’s drones are a big problem. The best experts on anti-drone defense are in Ukraine, but Trump would be embarrassed to go to Zelenskyy for help. Trump will lose in Iran because he would be embarrassed to ask Ukraine for help.

If the polio vaccine was developed today, some pharma outfit would demand $10,000/dose, take it or leave it

SCOTUS overturned Roe v Wade. They gutted the Voting Rights Act. Do you really think Brown v Board of Education is really out of range?

MAGA and SCOTUS are taking America back to a dark time. Even worse; we’ll have all the bigotry and Christian zealotry, but none of the prosperity, thanks to the oligarchy.

In the 60 minutes interview, Norah ODonnel came closer to calling him a pedophile rapist to his face than anyone ever has. It’s time for a reporter to Go All The Way on him.

I almost forgot; today is the last day of National V-8 week. 4/26, 4/27, and 4/28, which were the displacements of the three legendary big-block V-8 engines from Chrysler, Chevy, and Ford respectively.

The guy who pardoned 1600 people who tried to violently overturn an election is now telling me to turn down the violence in my political rhetoric. And people wonder why I drink!
