This is totally unacceptable and un American.

We can call ourselves many things here in The United States of America but after opening up concentration camps for children run by a company making a profit off their suffering, we can never again call ourselves civilized.

Discovery+, one of the streamers now owned by David Ellison’s media monopoly Skydance, hiked its prices exactly one week after the merger officially closed. Employees have already been told to expect layoffs — while top executives received pay bumps. Monopolies are only good for the monopolists.

Mr. Emanuel’s disdain for his party’s left flank is palpable. Democratic socialists, he said, don’t even belong in the party until they reverse their positions on key issues. “Some people want to do oligarchy tours,” he said, nodding to the rallies held last year by Senator Sanders.

however, the states AG’s have decided to settle with Paramount while this president is banning press coverage. One of the agreements is that a board will be set up to oversee the news media….such a laughable statement considering that we know what kind of board it’ll be..a board of lackeys.

The atmosphere holds more water vapor than it used to because it is warmer than it used to be. Aug 2026 saw the highest water vapor levels in the modern record due to the extreme warmth from climate change and the El Niño. This is going to contribute to more and more intense rain events.

Prof. Eliot Jacobson@climatecasino.net
