On CNN one claimed climate change and affordability were incompatible. i.e. expense of replacing fossil fuels disables affordability. But as each season destroys billions, then tens of, then hundreds and then trillions, let's see what we think of the cost of fossil fuels and affordability.

Got a dun from J. D. Vance. He said "When I say something, I mean it." I laughed so hard.

I thought I'd check Fox News for their take on Guerrero's murder. There's nothing there. They seemingly don't care at all that a hard working father was shot dead in front of his three year old daughter.

Astonishing ignorance of basic physics and botany. Take a big swath of shallow standing water, on a dark surface in bright shadeless sunshine...the heat cascades on to the absorbent dark bottom...the water warms...boom...algae blooms merrily. Who knew? Well, certainly anyone with a brain would.

While the Eric Trump UFC emails may be AI fakes, they certainly prove that AI is a double edged sword which, hopefully, Trump may start to realize. Probably a vain hope. But none the less.

Sad so many delighting in suppression of journalists. These will be the ones who suffer most because they swallow the lies whole and will be unprepared for the consequences. However, it's their children who will suffer more. And their grandchildren who will offer them nothing but contempt.

"Assessments of the war’s progress change...and repeatedly turn out to be unreliable, because they’re often just phrases put through the language equivalent of tanning beds to be given a glow and bronzed just so. That’s what’s important. Not the cancer growing beneath." Frank Bruni, NYT, 5/18/26

Democrats are advised to avoid climate change talk if they want to win elections. Odd, since abandoning clean energy is producing the fruit of war with Iran, higher gas prices, tax dollars subsidizing coal fired power plants and China reaching an unassailable advantage in clean energy technology.

Listening to Hegseth's invective against the press and anyone skeptical or questioning the war against Iran so reminded me of the similar condemnations against all those who questioned the Viet Nam war at its beginning. History repeats itself.

Did Orwell secretly have a Time Machine? Was he visiting us in the 20's disguised as Eric Arthur Blair? Recording our destruction? Did he call it 1984 in an effort to give fair warning to that generation?

“They have one thing in common, Low IQs,” Trump. Possibly Trump is having an awakening concerning the character of his supporters. Hope this becomes more and more apparent.

How can the Supreme Court Justices avow the Constitution must read as the original writers intended now reverse themselves on the 13th...reading it as merely ending slavery whereas the authors intended it to eliminate any and all forms of caste distinctions such as U.S. born immigrant children.

So the DOW had a surplus of 93 Billion to spend on the war side or risk budget cuts in the next fiscal year...so they dumped it on extravagant and unneeded luxuries. Meanwhile they did not meet the mandatory budget for veterans healthcare. What does that tell you?

Trump's Iranians. "Deranged scumbags" Reminds me of previous wars. Whenever we unjustifiably slaughter others, we resort to degradation. Iranians previously enduring religious despots, now slaughtered as 'scumbags'. And when it's over, long from now, those remaining get to live in the ashes.

Trump says, "It should have been done during a 47-year period, could have been done by a lot of different people who chose not to do it." I think he and the rest of us are going to learn why they were wise enough not to do it.

I really feel sorry for Trump's sycophants in the House, Senate and Cabinet. He should give out daily, or hourly, talking points so they can keep up.

Rep Luna “We just had a member of Congress literally sexual harass a woman who then lit herself on fire, and you guys all protected him.” Another reason the GOP doesn't like women with influence.

Disgusting. Musk's shill declaring voter ID essential to save Democracy. I said, "Wow, how can one man be so smart and yet so stupid? Oh wait, I get it. He hates free and fair elections because he needs to suppress the voters who might have a negative effect on his profits, Democracy be damned."

Odd how bad news can become good news. Previously each GOP primary nominated some horrid MAGA who went on to win the seat. Now days, MAGAs overcome all opposition to win the GOP primary only to get trounced in the general election. Finally I can rejoice whenever a MAGA wins the primary.

Bondi says 'why didn't anyone ask Merrick Garland?' Exactly. Why didn't they? That's the angry question from all MAGA. So, Bondi, why are you not doing what all of MAGA furiously demanded during Biden's presidency?

So, let me get this straight. The CBP needed help from the Pentagon to use a high-tech anti-drone weapon to destroy a party balloon which they mistakenly thought was a drug cartel drone? Shut down the airport for 10 days. This is what happens when high-tech meets low IQ.

Growing economic extremes, population extremes, climate extremes, resource extremes...these growing non-political extremes are not affected by politics except as they are being ignored by all sides. That blind ignorance is what will destroy us all while we are busy snarling at our opposites.

Father James Martin S.J. Regarding classroom displays of the 10 Commandments: "What about “blessed are the poor,” “blessed are those who mourn,” “blessed are the meek,” “blessed are the peacemakers”? Why is there never a push for the Beatitudes? It’s a very strange thing to me."

Finished streaming Foundation. One of the most awesome science fiction streaming series. The only visual media adaptation of a science fiction novel at least ten times better than the book. Asimov's story was good. But the changes to the story line simply and profoundly improved the story.

Now this is hilarious. But how close are we to this becoming reality. Today's email from Trump "Don't tell me you're an illegal alien?!? Are you a proud American Citizen or does ICE need to come and track you down?" Honest, that's exactly what it says.

Real conservatism has beneficial principles. Those who rode into Congress on Trump's coat tails have failed to use their position to bridle Trump's petulance and turn it to service of those principles which benefit the American people. Instead they have unleashed a monster and stand mute.

What, I asked myself, would get leaders to oppose Trump? Well, obviously, let him suggest a 10% cap. Johnson says it would have a “negative effect on a lot of people”. Really? Possibly so. But what people is Johnson talking about? Oh, bankers. I get it. I should have known.
