Tuesday Stuff


John, Cenk and Jordan Uhl of TYT tell us about AOC speaking out on some U.S. House hearing on “wokeness” (GMAFB!) while some folks from East Palestine, OH wander the halls of Congress trying to get someone to help them...and yes, as far as I’m concerned (and others of course), you can draw a line between the Ohio train disaster and the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank when it comes to the cause, as David Sirota notes here (I question Sirota’s punditry, but definitely not his journalism)...



...and speaking of the SVB collapse (biggest since Washington Mutual), David Doel tells us how Bernie Sanders basically nailed it in his warning five years ago after Trump loosened restrictions for these institutions (and I remember Gary Peters haranguing the shit out of me for a campaign donation when he ran for re-election, and he ended up voting to deregulate these financial criminals along with 16 other “Democrats”)...



...and to put a little more emphasis on all of this, Farron Cousins discusses a report from Moody’s (hardly a bunch of tree huggers) which tells us how bad the “party of Lincoln” is at writing legislation and overseeing the economy (I think Cousins’ outrage is commendable)...



...and when it comes to idiotic distractions from the “Republic” Party, this DW report tells us that Huckleberry Graham wants Biden to send our military into Mexico to try and keep fentanyl out of this country – with correspondent Andalusia Knoll Soloff...good job to point out the role played in all of this by the Gropenfuhrer’s horrible “remain in Mexico” policy...



...and I think the DW clip is a good lead-in to this one from Jon Stewart, who considers The Real Cost of America’s War Machine (NSFW/H)...



...and happy belated 75th birthday to James Taylor, coming to the Mann Music Center in these parts on July 1st (here).
