I’m definitely on the same page with Dem congresswoman Becca Balint of Vermont over our war with Venezuela (here), interviewed by Jonathan Capehart (not sure who the other individual is)...great point to lead off with mentioning Taiwan, since YOU KNOW Beijing will likely now say, “Hey, there’s now a precedent for regime change without prior approval from anybody” or words to that effect, and Lord knows what will happen next...and oh yeah, there’s also the potential for a bloodbath in Iran (oh, peachy)...great question about the fact that we went after Maduro, but #47 pardoned the guy in Honduras who was convicted of narco-terrorism for real...I’m old enough to recall Nixon’s “madman” thesis and how that was used to try and scare other countries; the problem is that we have someone in the White House now who is genuinely nuts...looks like the effort to distract from the Epstein files and skyrocketing ACA premiums is in full force...
...and David Pakman tells us that it looks like we have Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in custody, and yes, I know the legal stuff needs to proceed as necessary, but our ruling regime has a pretty poor track record when it comes to prosecuting those they consider to be criminals...and I think it’s telling that Pam “Blondi” decides to thank Our Treasonous Orange Pustule (For doing what exactly? And yes, I know it’s to inflate his ego once more) before our military, who actually put themselves in harm’s way in this escapade...and I’ll be honest; I don’t know anything about the intricacies of Venezuelan politics to know if it strategically makes sense for us to have Maduro out – maybe it does?? – but YOU DON’T DECIDE TO VIOLATE THE SOVEREIGNTY OF ANOTHER COUNTRY THAT HASN’T ATTACKED US WITHOUT GOING TO CONGRESS FIRST AT A MINIMUM FOR AUTHORIZATION!!!...and I forgot about that FIFA “peace prize” nonsense, which continues to leave a bad taste in the mouths of sane people everywhere...
..and Jesse Dollemore lets us know that it looks like Bari Weiss has made her first hire as the alleged head of CBS News, and that would be Tony Dokoupil as the new anchor for the chair that used to be helmed by Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather, etc...the fact that this Dokoupil guy just casually refers to “Russia-gate” and Hunter Biden’s laptop as if they’re actual stories gives away the game as far as yours truly is concerned...for this Dokoupil guy to act like news coverage at what was once was called the “tiffany network” now miraculously WON’T be beholden to politicians and advertisers is beyond a joke (I was born at night, but not LAST night)...I’m glad Jesse recalls Dr. King and the March on Washington because he’s right; most of this country didn’t approve, but sometimes you have to “go against the grain” IMO, which I guess won’t be allowed now if some noisy special interest group doesn’t think that’s OK (and I’m glad Jesse works climate change into this, since I can’t think of a more important issue – more here)...
...and I’ll be honest; I’m not really big on cover tunes for the most part (except during the holidays of course), but I like this newer number, the first one of ’26.
