WOTD from TPM Cafe: "These Real Estate And Oil Tycoons Avoided Paying Taxes for Years"
And it's all completely legal. "It's how the system works."
…
Eighty years ago today, Japanese warplanes crippled the U.S. Fleet at Pearl Harbor and ended American isolationism. In the ensuing war, America would produce more war material than all other belligerents combined. That was largely due to the efforts of women, Blacks, Latinos and other workers formerly excluded from the paid work force. The world — and this nation — would never be the same again.
👍🙂
But, but, but ….
Do we really know for certain that it was the Japanese and not an inside job? Asking for a Q-Anon member.
This was a good read about that day:https://apnews.com/article/pearl-harbor-world-war-ii-anniversary-hawaii-d3db8d688fb1c8fcc2045c00266f3aff
Good post Voy. The workers who produced the Arsenal of Democracy were every bit as important as those in uniform. Everybody was involved in the effort (my father a Navy Seabee, my mother an Army nurse, my grandfather working in a steel mill in Pittsburgh).
The war in the Pacific was primarily an American Naval operation. Two out of every three soldiers advancing towards Hitler’s regime on the western front were Americans.
For better or worse, the United States was thrust into the role of world leadership never to look back.
This will help you remember what day it is

WOTD2 from Lawyers, Guns and Money:"Dole"
Bob Dole was a Republican attack dog from the Nixon era.
…
Thanks, PH, for reminding uswhat a low bar being a “moderate, civil” Republican actually was.
It's good to look back. However the point of the article is that Dole was always right-wing, and was the Republican attack dog since-ever, since ever.
Dole was never a moderate.
I disagree, Parky. And unlike you, I actually knew Bob and Liddy Dole.
“Dole was never a moderate…..”
Senator Dole was a key player in the 1990 passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act. He also worked on the 1970 Developmental Disabilities Act, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Air Carrier Access Act of 1986, among other legislation.
Dole was a founder of the Association of People with Disabilities and created the Dole Foundation for Employment of People with Disabilities.
The article authors did lower themselves to at least grudgingly mention the ADA. Otherwise, they have an agenda to pursue.
CHB, “Park Hill” is a prototypical Park Hill liberal.
Bob Dole also teamed up with George McGovern to work on the food stamps program. Doesn’t sound like a right-wing extremist. In fact, he and McGovern were friends.
Imagine any one of the members of the Squad breaking bread and co-sponsoring legislation with Lauren Boebert or Matt Gaetz. Or vice versa.
Everyone still happy with these hyper-partisan congressional districts that send extremists on both sides to DC to do …. God only knows what.
Dole was admirable, according to a former student who worked as a Senate staffer in the 1990s, treating those in the rooms — senators, staff, interns, witnesses — to show they were valuable to the overall process.
Gaslighting in progress…
In 2018, 200,000 was an ordinary month. in 2021, 200,000 is a great deal lower than other months.
Context matters.
