Taking a look at, and reflecting on, some of the news of the day especially following the 'New Global Order' Xi spoke of. We've had a Long Peace since WWII and this, compounded by the irresponsible and cruel of the Trump Administration, is jeopardizing it.
News has been pretty grim this week—so I decided to go a little lighter by writing about the former head of the Genovese crime family from 1981 to 2005, the eccentric Chin Gigante
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
How many of us at this point just shrug and assume SCOTUS will let him do it anyway, regardless of the merits of the ruling or underlying law? By itself, that cynicism about the law is deeply corrosive
So why are him and RFK apparently taking steps to ban it? He doesn't think he got enough credit so he wants to take it out on the populace by exposing us to a pandemic-level threat? Pretty disqualifying for a "leader"
Jim O’Neill is a tech investor, former CEO of the Thiel Foundation, and co-founder with Peter Thiel of the Thiel fellowship. He has no direct medical education or experience. It’s hard to get away from the feeling that they really are trying to kill us.
Elon isn’t sharing data. He’s feeding the same Great Replacement paranoia that fuels white nationalism. The map’s real story isn’t fertility rates. It’s inequality, poverty, healthcare, and exploitation. Racist panic dressed up as stats.
Epstein files Cracker Barrel logo Epstein files Flag burning Epstein files Troops to Chicago Epstein files Ships to Venezuela Epstein files Health scares Insert next outragious bullshit statement We're Not Taking The Bait Where are the goddamn Epstein files?
Yeah, but Trump pays well. Blank federal checks to all his pals. He is doubling the national debt without anything to show for it. He is a con man, a pedofuhrer, and a thief.
After shitting on libertarians yesterday, I decided to decided to try my hand at catching up on the news of the month. I guess that whole resolution to avoid bad news went out the window fast, but sometimes ignorance ain't bliss so much as shirking responsibility..
Gov. Pritzker dropped straight facts. 🔥 We have another Democratic governor who’s a fighter. Keep it coming!
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
This is what autocrats say and do. Some threats he intends to carry out, others are just meant to intimidate to produce a change in behavior caused by fear. Every day we move closer to autocracy. Who will be fearless & fight, who will ignore it and hide, & who will bend the knee?
Outside the Baltimore immigration office, Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s attorney told the crowd that ICE had taken him into custody.
Ahem
Libertarian predators cropped up in some true crime I was watching lately, so I wrote a bit about that
I love that he tosses in he's handsome. I don't vote based on handsomeness, but that is a VERY good lookin' man
I have no comment on if I follow this advice, however: if you don't believe in guns, look up tire thumpers. Some, allegedly, look like miniature baseball bats, some like police batons. For women, I recommend keeping one under your front seat. Lot of misogynists out there.
No one has broken my password for... 6-7 years? As a drunk, you lose track of time. But I tell ya: it'll save you from data breaks.
Use a password that beats infiltrating. Change your password for the initials that will add complication to your password. Then throw in some numbers. Write them down in a secret notebook
I know we all agree but seriously: how can you respect who calls himself "big balls"? I am a bit larger than the average with small balls. Balls don't mean shit.
But when you have Trans Friends... Oh, wait, that's why we have vouchers for private schools... When you never have a Trans Friend, we don't think "We're all the same."
Putin can't be arrested. But let's talk about him: he bombed his own people to win his position, then made himself pres for life. Now, political enemies conveniently go missing. He's invading Ukraine. His own people are dying. He doesn't care. What does that say about a "leader"?
How is this even a thing? Gender and sex are DIFFERENT. I know that cause of a Bioanthropolgy class taught by a smart woman I hope has tuition. How difficult can it be to call someone by their pronouns? "He/she/them," if you give a damn, you'll listen to be nice.
If you read stats, we're all more purple than red or blue. More in common than apart. It's called Ratfucking
“The Fifth Risk” by Michael Lewis should be read more. We all are in danger from defunding. How did Texas feel? No disrespect but: don’t we all see the exceeding danger and want to help? Then Cruz goes to Cancun while AOC fundraises…

i think they're handing this medal out to dipshits *because* it's gone to people like rosa parks and MLK
We have to be better or all of us deserve a Nuremberg. We know enough to know "I only took orders" means nothing.
I get a lot of ads to buy new cars. Waste of money. I notice: "Buy by Sep. 30," which is probably a way to avoid those dumbfuck tariffs. GMC runs on the "It's patriotic to buy cars," which probably just means they want you to buy a 'front-end-loaded' interest when it hurts the average person.
“Facts are stupid things.” —Reagan No wonder his entire party believes in “alt facts.” The GQP is currently trying to enable Donald while rewriting history to make him their next Reaganesque “hero”
I never stop wondering why Chris is now “on NewsNation, the voice for non-neutral” normalizing Bill O’Reilly as “America’s favorite debating team” Maybe both bros are just shitty. I recognize shitty people, I am one
“Trump’s vision” What, Lost Cause bullshit? Black people shouldn’t be allowed in sight and he only wants Jewish people counting his money? (He used to do both of these things)
It's as simple as that.
I don't know how to do it, but when we call out defense mechanisms, the right fights back. We've tried a long time and now the Pedo President is in charge. That's one of the most unacceptable crimes—and yet, that's "OUR" president
Alleged billionaire. All I'm suggesting: JB Pritzker wouldn't do this to the people he cares for.
I was not as smart as you, I respect your intelligence. I blocked a hit and got thrown around and so I just kinda back down. Well, I use what I call, uh, "trick shots" cause bodybuilder dads can hit like a brick.
I grew up around so many "I'm not racist" POSes who feel enabled. I ain't suggesting anything, but having spoken to a woman who said "he might hit me again," maybe you sometimes... duck the swing and hit back With a dick kick.
I would suggest: there are times to not "take orders," refuse them, and prevent this. People in charge who require "orders" tend to end up on the shitty side of society. So, refuse them. In Nuremberg, no one's gonna accept, "I only took orders."
Still bewilders me the "Qanon," "Jewish Space Lasers" woman is normalized, but some things in life just make no sense
Back in 2016 I remember saying, "Donald is so evil if I wrote him into fiction as a villain, it would break 'willing suspension of disbelief.'" And now here we are.
Historically, this is how you say, "I was a REAL POS but I want to have a better reputation"
Ryan might be backing off now that he isn't in power. He was part of the Tea Party. Threw a wrench into everything, began the (r) policy of threatening a financial shut down. Cause he hated having a Black president.
I think I can take a guess, after reading enough bios to know he used to block Black casino workers from being in sight and had a tendency for the n-word...
Bowser: "I think I speak for all Americans -- we don't believe it's legal to use the American military against American citizens on American soil."
After 'Brown v. Board.' we got white flight. Then we got "white only" private schools. Now, we give school vouchers to folks who don't want their children meeting a Black person. When you have Black friends, you might not drink up the white nationalist BS. republicans hate that.
I wonder how Jizz-Lane Maxwell's victims feel about that comment...
CA does have the best chance of doing gerrymandering for the right reasons. But I support JB, gerrymander Illinois too. Gerrymanders can also backfire, then (r)s accidentally turn an (r) place Blue.
Trump's federal takeover of the DC police was laid out in Project 2025. I wrote this last year; start at "I want to keep going..." Crow Jim: Project 2025’s Obsession With Reverse Racism - The American Prospect share.google/lrxX5XhposSM...
Putin is dangerous. So is Xi. He is studying Ukraine and where Putin went wrong. Don sucks up to Putin more, but his 'tough talk' on China was just "Give Ivanka copyright."
Wrong link, my apologies www.removepaywall.com/search?url=h...
He's always gone for distraction over substance. I highly recommend this article to understand why Whatever we find out about him, he'll scream false accusations to make bigger headlines. Done it for decades.
Working To Distract From Epstein, Rising Prices, His Traitorous Fealty To Putin, Trump Starts Terrorizing Another American City open.substack.com/pub/simonwdc...
To be fair, the guy who delivered my car (made the Carvana mistake), talked me out of putting on the fronts. Said it would do damage, he wanted to go home. Two weeks later, guess who finds out they're required and had to buy zip-ties, which are incredibly creepy to have on your purchase history?
No one should be able to tell you who you can love. These are consenting adults in consenting relationships. Unlike, say, Donny "Let's Maybe Pardon One of the Worst Sex Criminals Of the Last Century" Pedophile Trump
iPhones confuse me. 'Set up FaceID so you don't need to use your passcode' 'FaceID cannot be used unless you enter your passcode' Yeah, well didn't I set this up to not deal with this?
Not sure of the latter name, I maybe am soft on Bernie cause I used to be a Berner. I was a delegate, but after he lost, I went for Hillary. 2020, I was a Warren primary fan. Once my candidate lost, I knew D>r I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt to "Good intentions, maybe poor decisions"
I have a cat and a dog. NO ONE gets to hurt them. You can take me as a body shot. Don't hurt them, you kill me first
You take hits. Say "Back down." And keep people safe
Boring don't matter. I'd like us be "boring." Just HELP
Sometimes it just happens. Long as you're the one NOT wielding it, there to protect: okay
"They make the weapons, they sell the prisons,who's gonna stop them?"
I don't believe that day will ever come. Murrow is turning in his grave, as Lindsey Buckingham said.
I mean: treat "your animals" like people. Love 'em
I don't know a whole lot of things. Frankly, I don't believe I'm kind enough to "my" animals. I do know: "Don't hurt animals, they need love."
Nurses also are very kind people who deserve respect. You just have to say, "Please let me turn my head the other way, I'm scared of needles."
My half-sis exposed my family to Covid. "They had more immunovaccines" Yeah. And mom couldn't see her cancer-dying friend to stop exposure.
I have a lot of mean things to say about him. He spreads disinformation and I've seen people die from it. Take your vaccine. Needles scare me, but I take them cause if I don't I'm a danger to others. Don't hurt others, suck it up.
Having you respond to me is up there on my top ten moments, I want you to know that.
I'm a real big dipshit, Robert Evans ain't. Trust his advice. Listen to "Behind the Bastards"
Well, I am. Much as I disagree, I also don't believe in violence and hatred. There's gotta be a way to be peaceful while making people take accountability.
"Who needs a house out in Hackensack? Is that ALL you get for your money?!" As Billy said
Rubio signed the deals to send people to Bukele's concentration camps down at CECOT. He deserves a Nuremberg, not forgiveness.
Ahem
As a society, we owe it to one another to protect people from this, honestly, just unacceptable behavior. I've been a bad person in my past. I regret that. So much. We can all be better to one another.
I still ain't suggesting anything. But haven't they gotten away a long time? "My credit card was stolen, I have NO idea how it went just under the legal limit for you suing me."
Yeah, but republicans are ALSO shutting down the IRS. Ain't suggested anything, new laws will protect the rich and hurt the poor. But if they defund, then... they don't have the funds to catch us poors
Our nation has NEVER operated this way. I mean, unless we're going back to "the North has to return the South's enslaved, we crammed through the Fugitive Slave Act" which, hell, is unforgivable. Maybe Greg should take a swim to understand he's a criminal.
Might not be Miller, but it's definitely some POS white supremacist. So many in this admin it's hard to tell, it's just wrong.
Some news makes me feel like I need a translator and a therapist. I’ll stick with a source that actually helps me understand what’s going on. thinkbigpicture.substack.com
"We all should see a therapist, even if we don't think we do," an ex once told me. We all become better by reflecting and growing. And, I think, if we all went to therapists, we'd see a lot less ugly, awful mass shootings.

All I'm suggesting: Most of us know the Steele Dossier. Wouldn't be the first time Vladdy pulled a fast one to get blackmail.
Sometimes, you get put in cuffs. And 16 hours later, you realize you apologized to the cop for "Shit, I dropped an f-bomb" And then are like, "Well no reason I got a court date for dropping an s-bomb."
He's also a racist POS who uses his wife/kids as a beard while he supports white nationalism
Not allowed to say my real opinions. However, as a survivor of CSA, I have some STRONG feelings. It troubles me daily and feels like reliving my own trauma that he got away with it, cause my family did, too. Parents burned the pics half-sis took to protect half-bro.
I'm a shitty business owner too, but I still make like $100 daily for sitting on my ass
I mean... If you look at his policy choices, they're basically, "How could I crash the economy?" He couldn't even run a damn casino and those are basically people forking over cash to you.
As Elton said, "I'm still standing."
Oh, I know the type.
No. I accept what I am. It's okay to fail. As Stevie said, "You're not like other people... You do what you want to"
If you aren't helping, you just have a fancy title for being an asshole
I've met Phd's Don't mean nothin'.
Or you can be an asshole, I'll spit in your face and laugh
We all have a CHOICE. And it can be kindness.
In high school, my officer was sent to be the HS. Cause he got too many hand jobs. Ron Moore was his name. He got away and I think, "WHY?
r's have done this a long time. Sometimes, you draw a line.
