Jesse Dollemore lets us know that, apparently, our neighbors to the north (Winnipeg, Manitoba to be precise) told some “Christian” fascist named Sean Feucht what he could do when he tried to perform publicly – good!...”If their foot is not on your neck, they act like yours is on theirs” indeed...yep, it sounds like Canada politely told this goofball what he could do, to their credit (if Feucht thinks he can draw people to a concert venue, then he should do what other musicians do, namely, have his representation plan a tour and do all the typical business stuff instead of trying to piggy back for free at places where people want to relax and be left alone)...
...and Tennessee Brando tells us here about some character named Vince Ellison who went off on his audience over “DEI, DEI, DEI!!,” threatening to slit throats or something; I guess Charlie Kirk sponsored the event where this Ellison character decided to spout off...and boy, is Brando ever right in that we need to get out there and try to “win hearts and minds” because we’re on the right side of history, as opposed to these MAGA life forms (which, as far as I’m concerned, are also victims of DEI, as in “Donald’s Eternal Insanity”) (NSFW/H)...
...and speaking of madness, Chris Hayes (definitely not him) informs us that the Gropenfuhrer responded to bad labor news by firing the person in charge of the BLS (can’t believe I’m siding with Governor Bully here, but I am) – also, the CPB goes out of business; yep, the worst three months of job growth since the pandemic as Hayes says...indeed the “Dictator 101” playbook is in play (with Daniel Koh and Jared Bernstein...and oh yeah, let’s not forget the Trump-friendly media type asking #47 if you can trust the numbers)...good points by Koh in particular on the ways that the Trumper who takes over the BLS will find ways to manipulate the numbers, with all this insanity coming on top of the DOGE circus also as noted...all of this utter bedlam points to stagflation this fall, with a bunch in charge who won’t have a clue about how to respond, and of course this orange maniac can still rig the Fed and keep pressuring Jerome Powell to say “f” it and leave, especially with Adriana Kugler now gone...good point to draw a comparison between this and not testing for COVID to try and get better numbers on infections, casualties, etc, and I would put this also under the same category as redrawing the hurricane weather map with the sharpie...I don’t say this often, but after watching this, I seriously need a drink...
...and I’m letting TYT back into this for now (Ana Kasparian in particular, with Kate Bettino) because it looks like Alan Dershowitz was denied some pierogis because of his odious politics (here)...I have a feeling this happened at the West Tisbury Farmer’s Market...if I run into the person who did this the next time we make it to the island, I’ll definitely treat this person with a beverage of their choice (and good point by Bettino that, if Dersh were a public defender, he might not have a choice but to defend odious life forms like Jeffrey Epstein, but he’s not, so he didn’t have to...”the privilege is mind blowing” indeed)...
Update 8/8/25: Dersh is still digging his pierogi hole, I see - typical (here).
...and under the heading of what I would call celebrity nonsense, Desi Lydic of The Daily Show (not her) tells us about the brouhaha over the Sydney Sweeney jeans ad; I guess Sweeney is the “flavor of the month” pretty much...I can think of more important stuff to get exercised about, to be honest (and oh yeah, leave it to “Cancun” Cruz to use the dustup to score political points...nice comeback by Lydic), but Uday Jr.’s AI bit with his dad is unsettling on so many levels that I truly can’t name them...and once more, I guess Stuart Varney doesn’t get the treatment he deserves in the media because he sounds British...and oh yeah, “Maniac Megyn” Kelly is still part of the discussion, sadly (“For a story about boobs, it sure has a hell of a lot of assh*les” indeed)...slightly NSFW/H...
...and I need to get back to my summer selections, and I might as well do that with this tune.

Excellent information, Dear Writer 👍IMHO, I wish the Dems would find a leader & start preparing for the next election !! Someone "like" Obama or maybe even Shapiro 🤔 Maybe then, thinking will change, and we wouldn't have this defeatous attitude ❤️Moe
Thanks so much Moe, and I definitely agree with you...while I have tons of respect for local area Dems (doing the organizing, canvassing, phone banking, etc.), I definitely don't see a coherent strategy from the national party. I said today that they basically have needed a lefty org like Americans for Prosperity or the State Policy Network forever to come up with policies/proposed legislation to motivate turnout, and that's never more true than now. Hell, they weren't even ready for Project 2025 when last year's election took place, and they had about a year to prepare! Too many in the national party seem to think, "well, we're not Trump so people will support us," and thinking like that had a lot to do with creating this mess to begin with...hope you're having a good summer.
