I just finished Chapter 5 of Haberman and Swan's book, "Regime Change". It addressed the DOGE disaster which gutted USAID. I drew a line from that agency which was a JFK brainchild to F47's obsession with the JFK Center for the Arts. He's competing with the 35th President by erasing his legacy.

This is typical behavior from Hinson: She voted last WEEK to allow the War in Iran to continue. Her support for the war has been steadfast and dependable. How she thinks it can be ended "successfully" is a real head-scratcher! Not very believable, our Hinson. www.iowapublicradio.org/political-ne...

Mike Rogers has the audacity to lie to you about his plan like he didn't vote 4 times to stop you from getting cheaper medication from Canada, take $1M from Big Pharma, and vote 19 times to keep prescription drug prices higher. GTFOH.

The scene that unfolded today at a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee was a snapshot of politics in the U.S.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

Whoever "closed out" the Smith testimony today is an idiot.

During John Cornyn's questioning of Jack Smith, he made the foolish move of wondering what would happen if a Republican president "appointed a special prosecutor" soon after his Democratic opponent announced his candidacy. Perhaps he's forgotten about the "perfect call" to Zelenskyy of 7/25/2019.

Mickey Rottinghaus @golfsobad.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Senator Katie Britt came across as a rabid, hysterical maniac. Her insistence Jack Smith should have "checked the work" of the agent who initiated the January 6th investigation is ridiculous.

As Kennedy winds up his 10 minute inquiry session with Smith, he demonstrates he needs someone to inform him of the definition of the word, "filibuster". He seems to be quite confused regarding its meaning.

011

Mickey Rottinghaus @golfsobad.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

When Kennedy dives in to accuse Smith of partisan opinions, Smith does the honorable thing by refusing to take the bait. Kennedy's slimy attempt to get Smith to "admit he's partisan" was to bring in the political positions taken by Smith's wife. He said, "I'm not going to talk about my family."

Mickey Rottinghaus @golfsobad.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Senator John N. Kennedy opens his questioning of Jack Smith with an inquiry into the definitions of the words "arrogant" and "self-righteous", then veered to asking for an explanation of the phrase "often wrong, but never in doubt". He's something else!

Listening to the Smith Hearing, and am struck that Republicans, by and large, mispronounce the word, "Arctic".

Warren: "This has been their argument every time -- they cut taxes and say, 'Ultimately it's really going to pay off for you.' What's happened every time? The academics study it very carefully and say, 'What really happened is the richest people got richer and everybody else got left behind.'"

I just "skipped" an ad on YouTube. A bearded guy is out walking in a rural area, wearing a "beanie" styled stocking cap. It fit his head closely and seemed a logical bit of apparel for a guy like him to wear on a fall day. It's special feature? It blocks electromagnetic waves. It's a tinfoil hat!

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.
