Let's talk about Trump's use of shothole and shithouse to describe countries in Africa and elsewhere. Ironic Many of those countries were colonies exploited for wealth and labor (slaves). Their resources plundered and economy ruined by colonists. Sound familiar, Mr. Trump? You are doing the same

The GOP has a serious problem with sexuall assault and abuse. For a party that claims religious and family values, they have no moral compass when it comes to supporting and defending victims. Are there any Republicans out there? Do you support this? apnews.com/article/elec...

If satellite services can be shut down because oligarchs don't like how a country is using it, imagine what else could happen. Like, your connected car stops working because THEY don't want you going to the rally or voting location. Not so outlandish anymore.

Trump backed away from a livestream of an execution. This retreat clearly shows he is vulnerable and easily influenced by those around him. He is often wrong. He makes countless mistakes. He lies. When the GOP push back, he will cave. Lessons learned here, folks. Repeat.

Interesting timing. In what possible way could this deal have been struck? "Hey, you want our diesel? Perhaps something could shut down the satellites used to navigate the drones bombing our ships and refineries and data centers. Just an idea, comrade. " www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Mr. President, it's not about you. #trump #houthis #oil aje.news/2p9a8c

The irony! If every other country would say the same thing about the person who caused the price of gasoline to skyrocket, we would see X and TS light up! Our time is now. Vote the GOP out and stop shielding this embarrassing administration. apnews.com/article/russ...

The FCC has previously been aggressive against robocalls. Until today. Until it became a tool for the mid-terms. If this goes through, expect your phones to light up constantly with AI driven calls. Flood the FCC with comments. We don't want this disruption. apnews.com/article/fcc-...

So. When I first joined, I posted a lamentation about women and dating. Several aggressive replies.. Now I post about provocative positions. Nothing. Not trying to start any fights. But why? Is it the algorithms? Or too much social and political content? Inquiring minds want to know.

This is a great visual by Al Jazeera. Whether you call it injustice, persecution, terrorism, hate crimes, or even harsher terms, this is WRONG! And the world does nothing. This is where UN and moral world order is ineffective.

Excellent piece on the concerns with diesel cost for the foreseeable future. And a great linkage of how decisions made a century ago impact us today. Perhaps the Administration or Congress should consider temporary suspension of the Jones Act. www.patreon.com/PeterZeihan/...?

Walking out on Netanyahu is NOT antisemitic. It is standing up for human dignity and an end to genocidal policies. People can oppose Israeli government policies without hating Jews. I have had many Jewish friends. Still do. I dispise atrocities committed by far-right Israelis. Stand Up Walk Out

2026 election will be interesting, as we all expect. Where does the GOP go? Their structure has been gutted. There are no policy experts. No real thought leaders. No successor to DJT - he won't anoint anyone who would compete with him. A party adrift.

To far-right Israeli settlers - Repentance on Yom Kippur offers a sacred opportunity to acknowledge wrongdoing, seek forgiveness, repair relationships, and begin anew with humility and sincerity. תשובה (teshuvah).

The issue isn't that Europe runs out of oil. Saudi Arabia is removing a large, strategically convenient source at the time alternative supplies and shipping are constrained. That raises cost of every replacement barrel and increases risk of a broader price shock. financialpost.com/commodities/...

#AMbroadcasters get a win in Congress with the House passing the AM for Every Vehicle Act. #AMRadio plays a vital role in communities, providing a news, education, and a safety lifeline during emergencies. Congress is leading the support of #radio #broadcasting. ruralradio.com/rrn/news/hou...

When winning may lead to threats to social and human structures. This is more insane than Congress selling out out children's futures with debt. We are now potentially threatening any economic, privacies, and securities for the future. Just to WIN. apnews.com/article/trum...

Great line from a James Cagney movie "The scenery is alright, but it's some of the inhabitants I object to. The higher up you go, the lower grade people you meet."

I love the comment from the US on the updated world map sizes. "US representative Yaryna Ferencevych said before the vote that the resolution is 'the reason this institution is losing its credibility. Instead of focusing on genuine problems ...'" And renaming lakes and the Gulf? aje.news/kdsnby

Like almost all journos, I don't like it when Washington attacks us for what we write, tries to get us to reveal souces, etc., all of which has steadily worsened over the years. But this stuff--targeting ordinary people for writing angry letters or posts--is much, much more pernicious. (gift link)

65 billion barrels of #Venezuela heavy crude. Useful for US and China. Europe likes sweet crude. US refineries are near capacity. Limited infrastructure in Venezuela to move the crude for export. 6 to 24 months to build out I see limited easing of #oil prices. Happy to discuss

"There are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn’t live. They’re not even people." If a person made these statements, how can anyone support such vile, loathsome rhetoric? Many a genocide was committed because of similar rhetoric. apnews.com/article/ben-...

A lawmaker who states, "There are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn't live. They are not even people." Who can support such loathsome, vile statements? Is this reminiscent of the 1930s? apnews.com/article/ben-...

I do question whether Trump has control over his team. They say, "No more ICE traffic stops." He says, "Continue ICE traffic stops." Is this man really in charge of the message? Or will we continue to see conflicting statements that throw teams into chaos? Perhaps there is a stock sale afoot.

Testing the equipment. If curiosity had a personality, it would probably ask too many questions and read too many footnotes. Here for ideas, conversations, and the occasional intellectual detour.
