WATCH LIVE: Trump’s Latest Hate Rally in Cincinnati; How Bad Will This One Be?

PoliticsAugust 2019 • Views: 25,229

At his last mini-Nuremberg rally, our grotesque Narcissist in Chief managed to incite the crowd into behaving in such a blatantly racist manner that even the media took notice and stopped using euphemisms like “racially tinged” for a little while.

It’s pretty much guaranteed that Trump is not going to stop them from chanting “SEND HER BACK” this time, either, but he’s still pretending it made him uncomfortable — although not uncomfortable enough to actually do anything about it.

Trump won’t commit to stopping supporters from chanting ‘send her back’ tonight at his rally in Ohio: “I don’t know that you can stop people … We’ll see what we can do. I’d prefer that they don’t. But if they do it, we’ll have to make a decision then.”Via ABC pic.twitter.com/bEeynwZzro

It’s only good for CBS if they can run commercials during it. I’m guessing they won’t do that, so they’re actually losing money.

Don’t forget to mention that they received no warning at all that the company was planning to close the mine to file for bankruptcy, giving the miners no advance notice in order to plan for the mine’s closing. Such that guys were on what they thought was paid vacation until their paychecks bounced and they couldn’t even get home. And is now in bankruptcy court, arguing that it has absolutely no responsibility to those workers at all because Chapter 11 protects them from such.

I should have mentioned that we know why they gave no advance notice, no hint that there was any problem with the mine’s finances, until they closed it just as they were filing for bankruptcy. The reason? Because if they’d served up advance notice, then productivity would have dropped off and they wanted to extract every last cent they could before they had to go bankruptcy court. If they told workers that the mine was going to be closed and start preparing, then workers would have called out, they would have protested, and they would have started looking for other jobs. Not to mention they would have tried to get every bit they could have out of 401Ks and health benefits before the tap was shut off. By holding off serving notice until it was a done deal, the company acted in a way that hasn’t been seen since the Guilded Age.

I was in a semi-glam band in about 1973 (New York Dolls was a musical influence, but I couldn’t glam my way out of a paper bag). About a third of our music consisted of covers by Free, The Stones, and the early J. Geils Band. Another third was original songs. I’ve got a reel-to-reel tape of one our gigs that I need to find a way to digitize. It might be legendary.

I’ve got that Molten Gold set and also bought this box set when it came out a couple years ago. Still a favorite band of mine.

Brooks is doing what you can expect more “NeverTrumpers” to do, which is spin Trump’s failure of a presidency not as a failure of modern conservatism, but of a loss of “decency” and “humility.” And to cover their bases, they’re going to say that if Dems failed to kick Donny’s ass next year, it will be because voters wanted that “decency” and “morality” but didn’t see it in the Dem nominee and so either stayed home or voted to keep Donny.

Yep and that’s why I don’t want their advice. They refuse to see how vapid and bigoted their ideology has always been. I’m glad Reagan got exposed for what we already knew for years to be true.

Plus there’s also the point that US big pharma sells the same exact same things all over the world, with people in the US paying the highest prices for it.

Republicans think that only fellow Republicans have property rights. Since the Iranian government is definitely not run by Republicans, they have no property rights. Easy peasy.

It’s not a “moocher” like a lot of Red America is. I don’t mind helping them but I wish they would shut their mouths about how urbanites are moochers and they’re “real America.”

My state is one of the very few red states which pays more in federal taxes than it receives (but not much more).

There’s a handful that are net positive on paying more in federal taxes than getting back. Texas is the exception, as most GOP controlled states get far more than they give. And those federal transfers mean that the states can artificially keep their taxes low, while the blue states have to demand more of their residents to cover costs.

It’s more than just that thought. The transfer is from blue to red states in general, but even within states money goes from the urban areas to rural areas in most cases.

Oh no!

I remember all those Pulpit Pimps who preached about the evil backward masking in rock and roll records.

GASP! Now they are attacking that Sacred Country Music and declaring it…SATANIC!

Tiffany FitzHenry, a self-described “bestselling author, public speaker, screenwriter, [and] Hollywood whistleblower,” appeared on Chris McDonald’s “The MC Files” program earlier this week, where she claimed that country music songs are actually spells used to control people, and that the musical scales used in contemporary music were designed to “change your DNA.”

FitzHenry claimed that she had recently been doing some editing work for “a massive, massive country music star” and was shown a “list of words” that the performer receives that must be used in their songs.

“There are lists of words that they get that they have to put these words, certain words, into their songs,” she said. “These are spells. If you’ve ever wondered, ‘Why does every country music song mention alcohol, whiskey?’ I think there was a study done that said 90 percent of country music songs in some form or fashion mention or make reference to, if not outright [promote] drinking. There has been a great illusion put over us and music is so powerful.”

FitzHenry went on to assert that “the music scale was changed” by the Rockefellers or Rothchilds back in the early part of the 20th century to shift it away from the natural frequency created by God.

Frances Oldham Kelsey, a true hero.

Not too hard to guess what rang Kelsey’s alarm bell when thalidomide came along. Early in her career, in 1938, she was part of the team that investigated the mass poisonings that resulted from the introduction of Elixir sulfanilamide. The manufacturer, SE Massengill, had used ethylene glycol as a solvent in the product. Their chief chemist, Harold Watkins, did not know that ethylene glycol is poisonous, though it had been on the market for several years and there was already a fair amount of medical literature on the risks. 107 people died, 108 if you count Watkins, who committed suicide. This case led directly to the 1938 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that Kelsey was enforcing when she barred thalidomide.

Nah, fusion is at least possible, “clean coal” is pretty much ruled out by the laws of thermodynamics.
