Monday Stuff


Leave it to our awful ruling regime under the guise of fake Education Secretary Linda McMahon to decertify nursing as a professional degree, limiting access to funding for those who want to pursue nursing as a college course of study...this report informs us of a student in rural Kentucky who commendably is trying to continue her education as a nurse practitioner in light of this boneheaded policy (more here and here...and this gaggle of idiots is likely coming for liberal arts also in 3,2,1)...



...also, Cheetoh Benito removed references to dead Native Americans getting kidnapped and murdered in a report that was mandated by Congress as part of a bill signed into law under the first awful Trump administration (and here’s a shocker – it truly was bipartisan legislation, supported by Senate Dem Catherine Cortez Masto and Repug Markwayne Mullin)...of course, Our Treasonous Orange Meat Sack claimed the report is “DEI,” so the report got sh*tcanned (Farron Cousins tells us about it)...



...and this report from Sam Black at More Perfect Union informs us that farm bankruptcies in Arkansas (especially soybeans, but also affecting cotton, corn and rice) have doubled, and to be fair, this is a problem that has been brewing since before Cantaloupe Capone 2.0 took over given that we’ve been importing so much of our food for a good while, and those damn mergers and acquisitions are part of the problem also, including Bayer and Monsanto which actually was completed in 2018 under Our Treasonous Orange Pestilence 1.0 (and $560 billion in farm debt this year? God almighty...our farmers need help with paying for materials to run their businesses as well as trying to level the market for them somehow)...there HAS TO BE A WAY for the dough promised by our politicians to get into the hands of our farmers instead of into the pockets of the people they owe...watching the gentleman driving through that gutted and deserted Arkansas town makes me realize how folks could give up hope and turn to a politician peddling easy answers to complex issues (losing 300k farms since 1997...just no words at a certain point, except to also blame those stinking “free” trade deals, and both of our political parties are culpable on that...I knew that Scott Bessent, a former hedge fund manager, owned a lot of farm land, though I would except that he has never picked a single crop in his life)...at a minimum, we need to repair our obviously broken supply management system, though of course “Big Ag” will fight that with all they have...




...and I guess I’m supposed to feel some sympathy for Marjorie Train Wreck Greene, now that she’s leaving the U.S. House after falling out of favor with the Tangerine Toddler...well, I don’t; this clip with Nina Turner from about two years ago brings us Greene pushing back against a battery plant in her district (more here...”we’re the Bible belt, not the battery belt”...OWWW, THE STOO-PID!!! IT BURNS US!)...and for all of those out there thinking, “oh, she’s so courageous to stand up to Mango Mussolini,” I would ask that you keep in mind the following: 1) Just wait until she resurfaces at some point on a podcast with The Swanson TV Dinner Heir and/or Nick Fuentes, and 2) This is more proof that the political violence in this country is coming from the right and not the left; does anyone seriously think Greene would do this if, say, Jasmine Crockett or Ilhan Omar had said something borderline threatening, which I don’t think they’d do anyway?...



...and I think Mr. Newberger has come up with another appropriate response here...



...and RIP drummer Gilson Lavis of Squeeze.
