Time Like Rope
Big Local Action
Did the fans in the stands at the Big A audibly chanting "Artie sucks!", "Sell the team!" & "Fuck you Artie!" during Angels broadcasts effect beer baron Artie Moreno? Talk is US$4 billion, highest price ever for an MLB team. And the Angels beat the Yanks 10-1 last night.MLB’s Los Angeles Angels to be sold to Rams and Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke
Two-bit ass-licking crook trying to bribe his way out. How many people has his insurance scam ripped off? Throw him in jail for all of his crimes.Mark Walter scandal, LA Lakers sale raise concern about ownership in pro sports
Walter, who made his billions in the insurance business and until this summer owned stakes in the Lakers, Los Angeles Dodgers and the English Premier League’s Chelsea, is reportedly under investigation by the federal government for alleged tax irregularities and failure to report billions in financing for key portions of his businesses.His abrupt sale of the Lakers to an ownership group that includes Josh Kushner, the brother of President Trump’s son-in-law, is raising suspicion Walter is attempting to curry favor with the federal government and avoid the harshest of possible punishments.
Not to mention former Microsoft executive (guilt by association) Steve Ballmer, owner of L.A.'s Clippers, who appears to have been paying player Kawhi Leonard under the table.“There is probably no drier topic than billionaire debt service for everyday people, but we know for sure that fans are a more than a little bit tired of seeing their favorite teams treated like assets as opposed to community goods,” said Will Norton, director of the McCormack Center for Sport Research and Education at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. “These teams are becoming so expensive that you simply have to look to open up avenues to capital that otherwise would look like precarious choices for the long-term health of the club.”More franchises than ever in the NFL, NBA, NHL and other leagues are partially owned and controlled by either private equity firms, owners who live and do business hundreds of miles away from a club’s home city or top executives with financial priorities that have little to do with the sports brands they own.

Scared Much?
Is he referring to white nationalist scumbags like himself & the other Republicans, who are interested only in helping wealthy white people get wealthier on the backs of working Americans?STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. — Vice President JD Vance described Abdul El-Sayed, Michigan’s Democratic nominee for Senate, as “evil” during a campaign rally here Monday.“I realize that there’s something about Abdul El-Sayed that is very, very evil and on the rise in the United States of America today,” said Vance, addressing several hundred people at an event put on by MAGA Inc., a super PAC closely aligned with President Donald Trump.
“And it’s people who see themselves not as citizens of a common nation fighting for every single person — whether they’re Jewish or Christian, whether they’re white or Black or brown — but see themselves as fighting for one group at the expense of others, and that is how, ladies and gentlemen, you destroy the United States of America,” Vance added.

Hating America, A Never-Ending Series
"They made you a moron", to coin a phrase.The world constantly looks at the United States and asks one question: "How did they get so dumb?" But the truth is much darker. Americans aren't naturally stupid - their system was meticulously engineered over 200 years to destroy critical thinking. Today, we’re looking at the "engineered ignorance" of the American public. From importing a 19th-century Prussian military school model specifically to mass-produce obedient factory workers, to the 1950s Red Scare that literally labeled "critical thinking" as Communist propaganda. And the wildest part? America is actively exporting this hyper-narcissistic, tribal dysfunction - from the prosperity gospel to toxic internet culture wars - straight to the rest of the world. If you thought failing test scores were the only issue, you haven’t met their media machine.

More Melting To Follow?
Here's a New One:
"Leninist Capitalism"
Or "Stalinist Capitalism"
Why Are We (and Were We) in Vietnam?
Today on TAP: The nation that defeated the U.S. 50 years ago now has the largest trade surplus with us of any nation.
Meet the new boss, chumps!A quarter-century ago, when advocates of normalizing trade relations with China insisted that doing so would compel China to transform itself into a democracy, America’s unions, a number of social democrats (including at the Prospect), and a smattering of China hands (James Mann in particular) called that argument a non sequitur: Capitalism had co-existed with right-wing authoritarianism and dictatorship, and would with its left-wing (or ostensibly left-wing) counterparts, too. Today, Leninist one-party rule (or in China, neo-Stalinist one-leader rule) gets along just fine with the C-suites of America’s corporations and banks, for the same reason that Wall Street prefers production in “right-to-work” states: the absence of worker power and the ensuing low levels of workers’ wages.

Shorter Trump Appointee:
"No Jewish Science!"
Probably not, because you are ignernt buffoons. Learn something, it probably won't kill you.In a 2023 interview, Trump’s new FDA pick laid out a vision for ‘conservative-based’ science
This awful person will be soon killing your children w/ "conservative-based race" science & anti-vaccination lies.When the Nazis entered the political scene, Lenard quickly attempted to ally himself with them, joining the party at an early stage. With another Nobel laureate in Physics, Johannes Stark, Lenard began a campaign to label Einstein's relativity as Jewish physics.Lenard and Stark benefited considerably from this Nazi support. Under the rallying cry that physics should be more "German" and "Aryan", Lenard and Stark embarked on a Nazi-endorsed plan to replace physicists at German universities with "Aryan physicists". By 1935, though, this campaign was superseded by the Nuremberg Laws of 1935. There were no longer any Jewish physics professors in Germany, since under the Nuremberg Laws, Jews were not allowed to work in universities. Stark in particular also tried to install himself as the national authority on "German" physics under the principle of Gleichschaltung (literally, "coordination") applied to other professional disciplines. Under this Nazi-era paradigm, academic disciplines and professional fields followed a strictly linear hierarchy created along ideological lines. In his 1938 paper, "The Pragmatic and the Dogmatic Spirit in Physics", Stark contrasted a "pragmatic spirit" driven by experimentation, against a "dogmatic spirit" dominated by theoretical frameworks. He claimed that pragmatic spirit was exhibited primarily by men of the Nordic race while physicists with dogmatic spirit were primarily Jewish.
