Friday Stuff


(I offer the above item as a seasonal meditation; the message can no doubt be directed at more than a few people in this country as well as the world, actually - more here.)

To being, John and Jayar of The Damage Report tell us about that clown Greg Gutfeld – who Bill Maher thinks is the new “king of late night”...GMAFB! – going off about AOC and Rashida Tlaib speaking out against student loan debt...and I love how “overeducated” is considered an insult by Gutfeld...John really nails it in about the last minute or so here...



...and Trevor Noah of The Daily Show discusses the “debt colonialism” stuff China is pulling in Africa (and yeah, among all of the other stuff in the news, we need to pay attention to the Belt and Road Initiative, people)...



...and Emma V. and Matt Lech of The Majority Report tell us about Gabriel Boric winning election as Chile’s new president – yes, I know I had that GREAT ad from his last week with John I., but there’s a little more substance to what Boric is trying to do as noted here (the history of our intervention in this country is important, particularly so-called “pension reform” under Pinochet, which people forget because that murderous Chilean lunatic that we installed was so awful for so many other reasons – more here)...



...and Ana of TYT tells us about Kellogg’s workers winning a new contract – I guess you could say that THEY’RE GRRREAT!! (sorry, I couldn’t resist...and I wouldn’t agree with Wosny Lambre that the Dems give you nothing; actually, I think he overdoes it in trashing the Dems here, though Lambre makes a good point about our ridiculous defense budget, and the Dems have definitely fallen short overall of course...and by the way, how about giving a little credit to Biden Labor Secretary Marty Walsh along with Bernie who ALSO joined the Kellogg workers’ picket line? And you can also give Biden credit for this and this)...



...and I'm winding down with the seasonal selections - can't forget these tunes, though.
