I look forward to the investigation that will cross reference the names of major benefactors of Cornell with the names in the Epstein files. I suspect there’s some. Also want to see who continues their support as more comes out about how the school responded & moves forward from here.

It seems the solution to the loss of caregivers due to mass deportations has been found by the Republicans. Close facilities expel the residents & the need for caregivers goes down. Brutal. Hideous. An expansion of RFK Jrs opinion that hospice patients are living too long. They want people to die.

As the case & controversy around Cornell's non-response to the sexual assault at a fraternity house, one thing is absolutely certain. Responsibility for every action taken, or not taken will fall to one cause. The victim. What she did or said, before or after the attack will be the fault.

Although this may seem extremist, I nevertheless believe the possibility that Trump may simply defy court orders, & directly interfere with elections until it is literally too late to do anything about it is a legitimate reason for concern. www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

I have a question. All the armaments the US sells to other countries: Are the bolts, fasteners & dimensions measured in metric or SAE units? Are bolts 1/2 inch or 10 millimeters? Interchangeable parts are crucial to interoperability. Metric is the international unit but SAE is used in legacy cases.

“… single-family residences converted into ALFs” is the most frightening part of this story for me. The venture capitalists who have bought up single family homes may covert them into mini mental health bedlams for profit. In your neighborhood, perhaps without your knowledge or consent.

Trump’s “I am the code” clearly cuts both ways. He declares his ballroom doesn’t have to comply with safety & codes, while also declaring safety hazards require closure of the Kennedy Center. We’ve been moving to "L’État c'est moi" for a while. Combined with the press pass revocations, it’s here.

That Executive Order released on January 6th 2029, banning ICE from concealing their faces, and subjecting them to immediate termination if observed wearing masks, will be be one of the first causes for celebration in the next Democratic administration.

ICE has stripped the names of 16,000 detainees from their public locator database, making it impossible for families and attorneys to find out where the detainees actually are. They had a name for people like this in Pinochet’s Chile. The Disappeared.

Mark Carney should be Time magazine’s Person of the Year. More than anyone, he has pointed the way to a new future for the world’s political & economic path. Uniting, not dividing. Building, not destroying. Acknowledging, not denying. It would prove the better angels of our nature can win the day.

I believe he has decided that being infamous will be a greater and longer lasting legacy than being famous. While he touts himself as a builder his true legacy will be as a destroyer.

The options on your car require a monthly fee to keep them functioning. You cannot maintain or repair your vehicle yourself, or choose where it’s repaired. Only repair parts sold by the dealership function in the car when repaired. So why do they give you a title & tell you that you “own” the car.

Pete Rose is blocked from membership in the Hall of Fame because of gambling on baseball. Prediction markets now allow you to bet on whether that ban will be overturned. No true transparency on the betting , or how odds can be manipulated. Times have changed and the dissonance is mind numbing

Since Hollywood is intent on doing remakes, I think they should do Some Like It Hot. But I really don’t think it could be remade or they might even do even a middling job at it. I just want to see Hollywood announce they’re making a movie where the two male stars play most of the film in drag.

In the film the Dirty Dozen, the psychiatrist brought in to evaluate the soldier/convicts describes one as a “malignant dwarf”. That always stuck with me, perhaps for just this moment in time. Mike Johnson is a malignant dwarf.

I fear we’re only days away from backhoes and bulldozers knocking down the Kennedy Center. He knows Congress will do nothing and the courts can only respond after the fact. The Board will then release renderings of the new Trump-Kennedy Center to be built on the spot. No bid contracts already let,

All the news around Ireland reminded me of something about one of my favorite musical artists. Roy Orbison was and still is popular in the north and south, because he was one of very few American artists who toured the island during the Troubles. Him having Irish ancestry helps too.

Someone in the Ukraine government should respond to Trump saying they need to stop striking diesel refineries. They should say: “We will follow Trump’s advice & Russia’s strategy to now begin hitting civilian targets instead of refineries. Would that be an acceptable alternative?”

It has dropped off the weather radar of the ongoing shitstorm of the Trump regime. But Trump’s advocacy for FIFAs Gianni Infantino, becoming UN Secretary General may come up again now that his scandals about privatizing FIFA have died down. There’s going to be a lot of “follow the money” in this one

In WW2, Canada had the 3rd largest navy, the 4th largest Air Force, over 1 million men in the army and manufactured over 800 thousand military transport vehicles. Sadly, a lot of dumb y”Americans don’t know or don’t remember.

It is striking sometimes to see that as unpopular as Trump is in America, he is even more unpopular, perhaps even hated, across a large swath of the other nations in the world. I find that comforting.

When I read about something Trump’s done that “may be in violation of federal law”, one thing comes to mind. Who, in the Executive branch, or the majorities in the House & Senate actually cares? In the judiciary some still stand up, but I have no confidence the majority of the Supreme Court cares.

Every diehard MAGA acolyte who heard Trump tell them to “cheat like hell” now believes if they do, and they’re caught, Trump will pardon them. Just like the “fight like hell” folks on January 6th. Keep that in mind.

I am convinced that Kushner & Witikoff have been be promised some ownership opportunities or concessions in any land Russia secures as part of a peace deal with Ukraine. Of course, "the boss" will get his taste too. That's why they'll continue to press Zelenskyy to concede land & why he wont't.
