"Jewish Space Lasers"?

Is this where whoever had the idea got it? If they can move hurricanes, surely they can move forest fires!Not much talk of hurricane control these days, is there? And today's eyes in the sky are looking at a hell of a lot more than weather patterns. Was this all codswallop, Walt?

Friday Exhaustion

"Sorry, babe, I just can't get it on anymore ..."

49 Mins. Of Fascist Fossil Fuel Propaganda

When did it all start downhill? That bastard Ford & the assembly line? The "Fuck the trees & mountains, watch us destroy them!" attitude?The last ten mins. are amusing; as w/ so many rosy predictions from long ago almost none of it has happened except electronics & computing are actually better than imagined (Punched card system!) & much of that arrived yrs. past the expected date.

Also enjoy the "Walkers will be shot" subtext, a min. past the obligatory use of atomic energy at (42:01).

Our Glorious Future: Sad, Innit?

Just a few more reasons to hate America, besides the fact that this shithole nation is filled w/, well, Americans. Eeeww!

Ha Ha!! Eff You, Coppers!!

This improves my mood considerably. Stick it!Too many fat oinking pigs costume-playing w/ too much bullshit "tactical" gear for the usual shitty made-by-idiot-Americans work. Check the load limit next time, you fucking fascist incompetents.

Weds. Already?

Oh, fuck me, thought it was still Tues., have nothng scheduled & no effing inspiration whatsoever. And in exactly a month, I will turn 73, if the gov't. hasn't killed me by then.

Typing things has become a drag, like gravity, or having to breathe. Damn you, autonomic nervous system! Let me be!There. That should hold the little bastards.

Here It Comes Again!!

Catch It If You Can!!

COVID is ‘growing’ in nearly every state, CDC reports. Here’s where levels are highest

The West & The South, if you care. P.S.:

The CDC also tracks levels of two other respiratory viruses, influenza and RSV. Both are showing up less frequently in wastewater than COVID-19 is.

Can't wait for Brainworm Bobby to ban the newest vaccine & make masking illegal. And can't wait for another million or so American sheep to die. Maybe they can really jack up the numbers this go-round.

Let The Punishment Fit The Crime!

All people of good faith & honesty will agree that false ruler Donald Trump is a huge fucking pig; let's convict it, sentence it, & carry out the sentence by killing it, dressing it & butchering it like the hog it is!

Would not surprise me in the least if his mentally ill supporters literally ate of his flesh.

Apocalypse NOW!!

I don't understand why warnings of impending doom & the judgement that's about to be handed down (No wicked shall esacpe!) aren't number one on the charts, whatever the charts are today. Streams? Downloads? What could be more relevant now, wherever you get it?I mean, learn some English, Philistines!

'Cause Babylon take over on themself, dem are di ruler
Slave I an' I so hard without any dunza
While I and I mass on ya, time for hunger
But no nat should done pon di need pon a dunza
Which is the people's food
Meanwhile I an' I mass on ya, time for hunger

Sound familiar? You're soaking in it.

Round-Up Time For Laura Loomer!

Diseased, deluded & depraved mind, or loud-mouthed witch desperate for attention? Why the dichotomy? Both, & much, much more. One would not want to crawl around inside that brain. Or listen to the podcast. Hell, Loomer's tongue should be in a cast.

“I mean, it would be a lot easier to just mass deport Muslims and start to use military force to round them up. I mean, really, honestly, it would be much easier. It would be much easier, instead of having Americans relocate. It would be much easier to actually start using military force to start raiding mosques and removing these people from our country. I mean, that’s what needs to happen. They need to be removed from our country with force.”

— Trump ally Laura Loomer, on her podcast.

Can anyone give examples of "having Americans relocate"? Surprise, it's bullshit. Over 10% of the sheep move every yr. One of those American "freedoms". Like hate speech, & lying through your teeth at the top of your lungs on the iNternet. Someone get a net & a tight white coat for Ms. Loomer, please.

[Political Wire's Bonus Quote of the Day]

Nurisng Home Crisis Arrives

I mentioned Norm Ornstein, who described the coming Trump-caused health care crisis two items below. Wait no more!

‘There is nothing else’: Californians face eviction as insurer cancels assisted living benefit

Four weeks ago, Matt Johnstone received a call from the board-and-care facility in North Hollywood where his 89-year-old father lives. Health Net, the insurance company that pays for his care, was eliminating its assisted living benefit, meaning he would have to move out soon.

Johnstone panicked. His father has dementia and needs around-the-clock care. Neither Johnstone nor his brother can afford the roughly $6,000 per month the facility costs, and with health problems of their own, they can’t safely meet his needs at home either. Without insurance coverage, their father could end up on the streets, he said.

“He’s declining, and I just don’t know what’s going to happen if the program ends,” Johnstone said. CalMatters is not publishing the father’s name because Johnstone fears the plan will target him for speaking with media.

America-hating rich to the rest of America: "Suffer & then die in the streets, you old bastards!!" 

This country is going to need many more Luigi Mangiones. C'mon older people, defend yourselves against this subhuman scum while you can still pick up a gun & use it! Sic semper tyrannis!!!

Oh, Great

This reporter's Representative. I voted for the farthest left candidate, Angela Gonzales-Torres, in the primary; Gomez is not radical enough for me. We'll see what happens in '28.

Hurtful & just stupid, Jimmy, what the hell?

Notes & Additions

Blow 46 mins. & 23 secs. on this, which is also linked two items below. Ornstein pulls few punches. Check what will happen to health care, at (26:50). Unfortunately, like many basically square types he seems to think he is obligated to be optimistic about the whole mess.

By BeanYolk.

May I remind you fools of the truth of nihilism:

1. An approach to philosophy that holds that human life is meaningless and that all religions, laws, moral codes, and political systems are thoroughly empty and false. The term is from the Latin nihil, meaning “nothing.”

There is no objective ground for truth. Burn it all down!

And don't mention Trump & his flunkies w/o noting they are the absolute proof that everything is nothing.

We are also amused by John Harwood, who used to be a fairly even-handed reporter for the Wall Street Journal ('though not a bofesideser) & is now at radical Commie "anti-semitic" Zeteo.

Get In The Streets, Sheep!!

Hundreds of people in Pakistan took part in nationwide protests and marches organized by the Islamist political party Jamaat-e-Islami on Sunday against rising fuel prices, high taxes, and soaring inflation. (AP video by Jahanzaib Aurangzeb)

Beat The Reaper!!

I know there's not a humanoid or animal on this planet who gives a flying fuck at a rolling dough-nut about me, but just for the record ...

Considering my usual temp is 98.2 or so, I'm quite suspicious. Don't remember my forehead being read.

Lost 17 lbs. (7.25748 kg.) in the last three months. BMI is under the 25-27 that's good for wretches my age. No longer hypertensive or obese & may be able to stop a heart medication. Indeed, I've made BP measurements (when sitting calmly in the bunker, not in your horrid outside world of non-stop bullshit coming at me from every direction) like 81/53 that indicate low blood pressure.

No sarcasm for once; the croaker deserves a sincere thank you for prescribing me back to a semblance of physical health in less than six yrs. Dunno if he was desperate for patients; he was one of the attending physicians when I was hospitalized in Nov. 2020 (for "colitis", not the plague, but the plague was all over the hospital) & asked if I needed a doctor. Never refuse a volunteer. (Thanks to Medicare as well. We'll see if I outlive it.)

At last, my heart is truly black & my lips are cold.Still hate all the scum & slumlords, calmer or not. They won't get off that easily.

Meanwhile, On The Domestic Front ...

More Murder, Just Like Israel.

Jack Crosbie / Rolling Stone:
How Trump's War on the Left Will Come for the Center  —  The far-left activists catching charges set a dangerous precedent for mainstream liberals  —  By and large, when my parents go to a protest, I don't worry about them.  Over the past few years, they've attended several of the large No Kings demonstrations in Fresno, California.

Norman J. Ornstein / New Republic:
The Republicans Are Going to Kill People—but Not Until After They Vote  —  One of Ronald Reagan's most famous lines, referring to disarray in his White House, was, “Sometimes the right hand doesn't know what the far-right hand is doing.”  More appropriately for the Trump White House: “Sometimes the far-right hand doesn’t know what the radical lunatic right-wing hand is doing.”

In the Big Beautiful Bill, the GOP put off Medicaid cuts until after midterms. America is about to find out why.

Hix in Stix to get exactly what they voted for, good & hard!NB: Rolling Stone's website sucks hard. Fuck them & their pathetic incompetence.

Sad Shit From The (Un-)Holy Land

There Is No Word But "Nazi"

There’s a reason why Israel has done little to rein in settler violence. It’s not just Netanyahu

Israel’s Ben Gvir advocates killing ’30 to 40' people in Gaza nightly while speaking to ex-hostage

None dare call it murder, either.

Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir made the statement while speaking to a former Gaza-held hostage, Rom Braslavski, on Braslavski’s podcast. The two were discussing Israel’s recovery from the Hamas attack of Oct. 7, 2023, when Ben-Gvir criticized Israel’s recent drawdown of strikes in Gaza.

“It’s no secret, I disagree with the prime minister,” he said. “I think targeted assassinations should be carried out in Gaza, taking down 30 to 40 every night. Not just those who pose an immediate threat — there are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn’t live. They’re not even people.”

I dunno. What's it sound like to you?

Orwell didn't give much thought to exactly when the surveillance society could be practically implemented, but it's in full swing now. As good a reason as any to wear a mask out there.

Have some LAPD action as well.
