and destroying a future for America’s children.
Blowsy NRA moll ($1.3 million in contributions to date) Sen. Blackburn was at her hypocritical worst in the Oval Office yesterday, promoting with fake-solemnity a roll back of automobile safety requirements and fuel economy standards.
Whitehouse reads Richard Grenell, Trump’s totally unqualified choice to head the Center:
“Documents obtained by Environment and Public Works Committee Democratic staff indicate that you have turned the Kennedy Center away from its mission. Contracts, invoices, and facility use agreements reveal that you operate the Center for the enrichment of your friends and acquaintances, to dole out political favors, and as a playground for the President of the United States and his allies. The Center is being looted to the tune of millions of dollars in foregone revenue, cancelled programming, unpaid use of its facilities, and wasteful spending on luxury restaurants and hotels —an unprecedented pattern of self-dealing, favoritism, and waste. . .”
Village Preservation explains:
“In a monumental shift, the recently-approved ballot measures 2, 3, and 4 moves unilateral land-use decision-making authority to the Mayor for a broad range of land use decisions. This cuts the City Council and the public out of much of the process. Backed by a well-funded real estate lobby and sold as a plan to ‘fast-track affordable housing,’ these measures will instead invite gentrification, weaken tenant and small business protections, reduce infrastructure investment, and enable corrupt, closed-door dealmaking.“
to Trump’s daily defamation and lies about Biden? Don’t they understand that the refusal of Biden himself to answer Trump’s smears is what cost the Dems the 2024 election (as, of course, did the disastrous hijacking of Harris’ campaigning by David Plouffe and his team). . .and other things.
We know better than to assume that any White House “reporter” will dare to correct Trump to his face about anything. They simply feed him questions that allow him to vent without contradiction the same old vicious, fraudulent accusations.
when he calls the Mayor-elect the “far left.” And he demonstrates how stultifying and reactionary the Democratic Establishment has become, and why it is loathed by by the party’s base.
They warned for months that Trump’s militarization of the National Guard in support of his war against Democratic-led cities was escalating tensions. Now what they warned about has led to disaster. Trump is trying a George W. Bush-style exploitation of tragedy to broaden his demonizing of immigrants. Why hasn’t Schumer issued a statement? Thanksgiving was two days ago, and that’s more than enough time for Dems to recover from any temporary indigestion. in the meantime, Trump has feverishly worked to further unravel our country. His accusations about Biden and his autopen are treacherous and traitorous.
Why are the Democrats still so laggard, so flat-footed? Why do Schumer and Jeffries still have no rapid-response team on call at all times?
NUCLEAR POWER = CANCER should be the banner credo of the anti-nuclear movement.
Beyond Nuclear reports on how Minnesota’s aging nuclear plants are destroying public health. . . and flirting with further calamity.
Either policies that demonstrably improve their lives, or, failing that, a grotesque circus providing mindless entertainment, one that they hope will include the license to hate and scapegoat the most vulnerable.
That would be Tallulah Bankhead, as described by cellist and composer Alan Shiulman. Shulman played in the orchestra of Bankhead’s “Big Show” on radio, and composed “A Laurentian Overture” that he dedicated to her.
His son Jay Shulman shared his Dad’s quip with me recently.
Alan Shulman also collaborated with Tallulah’s friend Joe Bushkin on a song that they called “Portrait of Tallulah.“
that if they follow the illegal orders of Hegseth and Trump they will be legally liable.
That sick jamboree that the Gold Dust Twins convened on September 30 was about getting military heads as well as rank and file feeling comfortable with treason: thus Hegseth telling them to be as lawless as possible and thus Trump urging that our American cities be “training grounds” for fighting adversaries abroad.
The reason Trump and his sodden lickspittle had a cow when the Democratic senators made their patriotic video is because they were calling out exactly what Trump and his tin soldier military head are in the middle of implementing.
