I haven't read anything that tells me how this works. My guess? The Trump mind 'magic'. Nothing here but (still higher costs), and the fear that someone in need is getting away with something. - www.ms.now/news/trump-h...

An impossible task. Mr. Trump couldn't last 1 day without pointing a finger at someone else. Does he actually own a mirror?

The's not the worst of it. A careful analysis of the language, shows a mismatch in English grammar, but a closer match to grammar in Russian. Gee, how'd a thing like that happen? -

Trump is antithetical to the sprit of the Constitution. Faith is about grasping something human that accepts a higher force. Religion, is often not. A federal Government must have several commonalities, with rule of law at its center. Trump does not accept this. - www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

I know, I know. Trump thinks that if he could only get everyone to shut up and be still, he could get something done. Daddy be wrong, so wrong.

Going nowhere. You don't reward the aggressor, unless you want more aggression. - www.reuters.com

I lived in LA for 50 years, very often within a stone's throw of the river. I never saw any of this. - www.npr.org/2025/11/17/n...

Going nowhere. -

Astounding. After being swatted with electoral fury (Mom), and chastened with judicial briskness (Dad), someone in the Trump Regime seems to be listening to the news. Still, I trust Trump about as much as I trust a hungry predator. I don't.

Err ... change the name, or he won't do it. -- Republicans Push Trump on Obamacare Subsidies

Apologies, but a close reading of the economic tea leaves (The Economist), shows costs for medical coverage for EVERYONE going up. Those of us in the Medicare group can expect even paid services, like a doctor visit, to go up about 7%. Why? Events like Covid just took a hammer to the systems.

Almost sounds like the Trump regime is getting sensitive about being dissed. Almost.

One of the greatest errors, either political party makes, are errors of omission. You've really got to say what you mean. Not follow illegal orders? What does a guy working 2 jobs think that is? I know what it means, but most folks do not.

Bring it on, everyone guilty, goes down. Does Trump think that works? - Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) was interviewed by CNN’s John Berman about the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files: BERMAN: What if there are more names connected to the Democratic Party that come out in the files? MURPHY: So what?

What can't be won, or gerrymandered away, must be dealt with in other ways. But only by Republicans. - Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) said he will force a vote on expelling Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) from Congress after she was indicted by a federal grand jury, Axios reports.

Mike Johnson is an ice kissing moron. That is a factual statement. -

I won't be the last to say it. We are in a time when those, with almost unlimited resources, are trying to silence the rest of us, and hope we'll all just go away. The system of laws and norms that allowed these folks to prosper, aren't in dispute - for them. For the rest of us? Moo.

Tell you what, Donald. Release ALL the Epstein material. Then we'll decide who to 'hang'. I got the distinct feeling that the reason Epstein and Bannon we're so upset, was that Donny was setting them up for a fall. The dog that didn't bark? Republicans are just a 'shot away'. (reference, RS's ).

Three headlines from The Hill. -

Once more, and for several reasons, Moo. -

Things change. -

I know no one wants to believe this, But Putin is a nut ball, fighting the last wars of the Soviet Union. -

To be blunt, unless everyone learns to read, write, do math, and think critically, we'll become a nation of mooing proletariats. AI is fine for some things, but it will ruin many other things in society. - www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Someone should take up this man's cause and deal with the idea that 'gay', in whatever form, is 'political'. There is sufficient proof that 'gay' is Darwinian in nature. It's kind of a sideways means of ensuring familial lines of help. It's natural. Political is whatever Trump regime is doing. -

Companies have to be responsible for their products, period. There used to be no liability for cars that killed folks. Henry Ford was a virulent anti-Semite, blaming Jews for everything he could, because he could. AI, will require not just innovation, but responsibility. Turn everything off, begin.

When there's a screw-up, and there will be one, those states who hold their ground, will be better off. - The White House is preparing to issue an executive order directing the Justice Department to sue states with laws regulating artificial intelligence, several reports said on Wednesday.

So there's this. Those of us retired, for whatever reason, might not make it, if forced to work again. We don't know this world. Lyrics to Proud Mary seem to fit. -

Moo. Why? Because... ? Why? Moo. - Bessent Blames High Beef Prices on Migrants

This is what socialism is about. And it's a good thing. If sunlight and wind, plus battery power and a few other tricks can keep a balance of electricity, utilities should only cost what it takes to maintain them. '- heatmap.news/energy/calif...

“A federal judge said Wednesday that he plans to ‘promptly’ move ahead with an effort to find out which Trump administration officials were responsible for flouting his orders in a high-stakes immigration case – and whether they will face punishment for their actions,” CNN reports.

Nothing completely unexpected there. Fine, release everything dealing with Republicans and anyone non-aligned. Smells like the tide went out and stayed out. Here's the thing. Because Trump's minions are so bad at their jobs, no matter how long they wait, Trump's name will still be in the files. -

Trump can never find his way to peace in Ukraine, as long as he sits in compliance with Russia. Never give into a bully, who only looks at you (or Ukraine, or the American public) as a cash machine, to plug holes when personal integrity fails. Russia needs to come to the table as an equal, at least.

Many causes, many reasons, most false. We lived in LA for 50 years, all as renters. We had to leave the county to buy a house. There was nothing we could touch, unless one was standing right there when something went up, for sake. -

No reality here. - The New York Times Magazine interviewed 60 attorneys who recently resigned or were fired from the Justice Department for a piece on the agency's unraveling under President Trump. One of them recalled being ordered to find evidence of antisemitism at the University of California:

This incessant need for chest thumping reflects poorly on those at the top. Do your job, go home. -

Musk back in the WH? I think the problem with Musk is, Dems can ask him to show his work, which he never will. Nobody likes him, or his richer than thou attitude.

U.S. Secretly Drafting Plan to End Ukraine War. As Yakoff Smirnoff used to say, "Russia lands on you." Nothing here folks. Expect nothing. Trump can't read the room.

Don't walk that dog near Noem or Vance. ' Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) confessed to Newsmax on Tuesday that she doesn’t “have any friends” or “get invited to parties,” Mediaite reports. Said Mace: “I’m not part of the powerful, I’m not part of the elite. I’m an island of one… I have a dog.”

It's obvious that Mr. Trump is still not going to allow the Epstein files to be released as they are, or in any kind of useful order. Still can't read the room.

If you've watched any part of the new Ken burns documentary, today's stories fit seamlessly in the flow.

Though not widely popular, using genetics tracing companies would be a real boon to 'equalizing' who we are as a people. That is, let's actually find out who everyone is related to, how, etc. The call by race baiters and cultural supremacists would have far less cache, if there were fewer unknowns.
