Amazing what I stumble across listening to a Colorado Music Countdown.
The band Gasoline Lollipops has some vehement lyrics set to a catchy tune ….
I love that song a lot. The first time I heard that song was live at the Lafayette Music Festival last year and got choked up listening to it.
As a complementary song, check out other Colorado band White Rose Motor Oil's Hateland: https://whiterosemotoroil.bandcamp.com/
Wajahat Ali: “MAGA seems to have a very weird, twisted, and violent relationship with their dads. This most likely explains why they’ve turned to Donald Trump, a vindictive sexual abuser, as their surrogate father.”
Promises made – promises kept….
Trump to reinstate the 8000 service members who were fired for refusing the Covid -19 vaccine. The service menbers who are reinstated will be restored to their prior rank, back pay and benefits, and an apology from the Dept. of Defense.
From 2021 thru 2023 the Biden-Harris administration fired over 8000 military personal for refusing the jab, while letting in millions of unvetted and unvaccinated illegals into the country.
The viruses thank you for your support! And your racism!
It really gets old. When all else fails, play the race card.
If the shoe fits. You know what gets really old? Racism. And you support it by supporting the racist in the White House. Don't like it? Too bad.
"Now I've got cholera!"
It's a Libertarian Paradise.
Because what we want in the American military are those who refuse direct orders ….
add those 8,000 to …
Heather Cox Richardson has a great deal more to say about the consequences of lawlessness.
You forgot all the pardons handed out to the Biden crime family 15 minutes before Joe left office.
Not to mention Biden pardoning favorite son Hunter for three felony firearms convictions and nine counts of millions of dollars of income tax fraud.
Not at all … the President's pre-emptory pardons were described in his message:
Statement by President Biden
The Biden crime family. As far as I know, there was one convicted felon, Hunter. Other than that, no crimes charged, no convictions obtained. And i suspect you know next to nothing about how the criminal justice system works.
"Trump will overplay his hand; Be ready when he does." Robert Reich.
I'm not sure where this article was, but I liked these points, here. Here's to you "charismatic Democrats", and "get out-of-the-way" (some of the) older Democrats.
I agree on skipping the protests and identity politics. The Democratic Party needs a fundamental rethink of what are the biggies it's going to deliver. And it's not have a perfect message for each interest group. It's what are the big glorious things we'll do to bring a brighter and more outstanding future.
I pretty much disagree with "Trump was beatable in this election, but only with a more captivating candidate."
Trump may have been beatable if Joe Biden had stepped aside sometime after the 2022 elections and allowed a complete nomination contest among those willing to step up. Maybe. The history of Presidents being pushed aside in my lifetime isn't encouraging. LBJ dropping away to leave Humphrey emerging from a contest didn't turn out too well. Nixon being pushed out to leave Ford to campaign didn't work well, either. And on the theme of "changing horses mid-stream," McGovern losing a vice president and getting Shriver as a replacement wound up with a historic rout.
I don't know who that "more captivating candidate" might have been. Imagining within a category is a great deal easier than looking at a specific individual, and trying to imagine if they are going to gather a winning coalition.
Parkie, Reich has a Substack newsletter. That's where this all came from.
Speaking of charismatic. AOC:
And now the Confederates and Nazis have melded into one, and we will beat them again.
That is simply no longer as true as Rep. Cortez wishes it was.
Today's post – another on energy. Will Toor in my podcast said wind+gas is cheaper than just gas. It's not.
One interesting outcome of the podcast I had with him, I've received a bunch of emails from people that are happy that he said the Polis Administration is neutral on non CO2 emitting sources. So they're not pro-renewables at the expense of Nuclear but instead are equally in favor of Nuclear.
I think that's new.

For those keeping track, a pardoned J6er was just shot and killed by police in Idaho for allegedly resisting arrest. Seriously, I'm not happy about this, but it's the 2nd J6er to have faced issues with the law since the pardons were announced just a week ago.

Thanks JID! For those playing at home, the facebook link had an extra section for more context.
Sorry about that. I thought about copying a lot of the post, and then work intervened.
All good. Thanks for bringing it up in the first place. Low sounds like an interesting chap!
50 people were arrested at a private nightclub on Sunday morning. Some were supposedly "Tren de Aragua" gang members. 41 out of the 49 were undocumented immigrants from various countries, including Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico, Italy, and the United States.
I just hope this lets $rump declare victory and move on from his mission to teach Aurora a lesson.
I'm guessing not.
