    Getting money and religion out of politics in the U.S. would make life so much better.

    If you want to have a go at influencing people's religion, become a preacher, priest, rabbi, cult leader, or whatever, and go forth and spread whatever your gospel happens to be through persuasion and good works. If you want to be entrusted with running the government in some fashion, leave your religion at home.

    Anybody who insists on trying to push their religious beliefs on others or claims bullshit like "the U.S. is a Christian nation" should be barred from holding office and have exactly zero of their opinions taken seriously in public discourse.

    Current ear worm. You’re welcome.

    It’s the perfect time of year
    Somewhere far away from here
    I feel fine enough, I guess
    Considering everything's a mess
    There's a restaurant down the street
    Where hungry people like to eat
    I could walk but I'll just drive
    It's colder than it looks outside

    Meanwhile, at a convenience store here up nort’ on U.S. Highway 51; it’s pretty bad when $3.56 a gallon for 87 octane fuel sounds cheap after $4.69 in the past few weeks but compared to the current average of $3.92 a gallon up here at the moment, l’ll go with it.

    The Trump administration promised to restore “merit” by going after DEI. Apparently, their definition of merit is loyalty to Trump—and their definition of accountability is blaming someone else.

    A nationwide flight grounding is a stark reminder that we depend on public institutions functioning reliably. Governing requires expertise and responsibility—not scapegoats and “updates.”

    But sure, tell us again how diversity was the threat to competent government. - Trump Resistance Movement

    Duffy and Markwayne Mullin doing a press conference in the White House press room, Duffy wanting Congress to authorize funding to overhaul the entire air traffic control system. I have an idea - how about taking money from the shit ton the DHS got for ICE. Duh. And of course the shit bird finds a way to kiss the FOTUS’s fat ass.

    One of the youngsters in the editorial room here at work played this on the speaker a little while ago. I yelled from my office “Fuck YEAH! This was one of my karaoke tunes in my bar days.” One of the guys asked me if I was gonna sing. Well, of course I did. It’s FRIDAY!

    Mississippi became the center of voter suppression in the United States, making it the state on which voting rights activists focused in the years after World War II, especially after the lynching of 14-year-old Emmett TIll in the state in 1955 in the wake of the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision requiring the desegregation of public schools. - Heather Cox Richardson

    I’d really be concerned if it was something like “Mein Kampf;” is Dave Rubin unaware of something I was made aware of in 9th grade social studies class during the 1978-79 school year? Man, he should probably get out more.

    One of the only ore docks left in this part of the world; ya go to places like Ashland, Wisconsin, which at one point in time was well known for its ore docks and the high school teams are the “Ore Dockers,” the ore docks are all gone.

    “It is a historic result in the deeply conservative southern state that last sent a Democrat to the US Senate in 1982, and had not seated a black senator since 1875.
    Colom follows Hiram Revels, who became the first black person ever to serve in the chamber when he was seated from 1870 to 1871, and Blanche Bruce, whose term ran from 1875 to 1881. Revels and Bruce were both members of the Republican Party.” - BBC News

    Sooooo, 11 Dems, including Nancy Pelosi, missed the Kegsbreath impeachment vote. Desi kinda gives em some shit about that and attempts to do away with hand job jokes.

    It’s not a real TIME cover but it’s certainly on target; you’d think Kegsbreath would know better about the decorum there at the Tomb but seeing as how his boss, the FOTUS, smiled and a thumbs up for cameras at the graves of Marines in Arlington’s Section 60 in August, 2024, during the presidential campaign, pretty much nothing surprises me about the regime anymore. Well, done tomb sentinel.
