Friday Stuff


John and David Shuster of The Damage Report tell us about some lady (using the term loosely) in that trucking protest around D.C. saying she didn’t want to be “digitiled” (???) and that other loopy guy who’s protesting because??...



Update: If any of those knuckleheads mess up the 911 response system by stupidly flooding it and someone dies as a result (hopefully not of course), then the person responsible should be prosecuted for manslaughter (here).

..and Richard Ojeda of Rebel HQ tells us about Vlad The Butcher bombing a children’s hospital in Mariupol, Ukraine...so many levels of despicable that it’s hard to capture them all...



...and I thought this was an interesting clip of CBC correspondent Andrew Chang interviewing foreign affairs correspondent Brian Stewart on Ukraine’s military resiliency, to say nothing of the resiliency of its people overall...



...and Ana and Cenk of TYT tell us about Ukrainian forces lighting up a Russian tank column (and in addition to his thoroughly numerous other faults, it’s surprising in no way that Jimmy Dore is an apologist for Vlad The Butcher)...



...and David Doel discusses Biden’s decision not to import Russian oil (good point about the price gouging that’s of course still raging unabated in our economy and potential ripple effects vs. Russia as Doel explains – interesting note about gas prices being $5 a gallon under Former President Highest Disapproval Rating In Gallup Poll History, and to be fair, there wasn’t much George W. Bush could do about that either, though I definitely don’t remember people losing their minds over that issue then as they are now...gee, I wonder what could be different about that...and good points by Ilhan Omar against our “dear friends” the Saudis and their slaughter against Yemen (here), as well as the fact that we should have been investing in renewables to a hell of a greater degree than we have already as Doel says)...



...and speaking of cruelty to kids, Emma Vigland of The Majority Report tells us that Sen. Mr. Elaine Chao wants to block federal waivers that offer universal free school lunches during the pandemic...yep, #MoscowMitch strikes again (more on that death eater from Kentucky and his caucus of Russian quislings is here)...



...and I thought this was an unusually good local news report, this one from Ch. 10 in Tampa Bay, about FLA Guv #DeathSantis getting a bill passed to “police” elections and basically discourage Democratic voters – the clip also looks at states that not only have stupidly restrictive voting access, but others that have expanded people’s ability to exercise their franchise (and I realize they have to have a clip of a lying Republican for “balance,” so as a counter point with the reality-based perspective, I offer this...what an insufferably smug a-hole #DeathSantis is)...



...and when it comes to artists boycotting Spotify (remember that?), I know I haven’t included anything from Joni Mitchell for a little while, so I’d like to make up for that with a couple of her tunes from “back in the day” (yep, I watched Dick Cavett many moons ago).
