Tuesday Stuff


This CBS News report features Uvalde, TX mom Angeli Gomez speaking with reporter Lilia Luciano; Gomez showed incredible bravery running into the school to save her two kids, despite the very WORST efforts of the beyond-useless Uvalde, TX cops (and threatened with a probation violation as noted here - Judas H. Priest)...



...and speaking of Cops Behaving Very Badly, John and Francesca of The Damage Report tell us about two Arizona officers who (allegedly) watched a man drown and did nothing in response...yeah, I think “glorified bouncers for society” is a spot-on take (more here)...



...and sticking with the theme of law enforcement, Farron Cousins tells us that Fix Noise news mannequin Rachel Campos-Duffy encouraged a friend of hers to illegally cross the southern U.S. border (again, “allegedly,” and of course it was to try and make President Biden look bad, as indeed is the goal of EVERYTHING from that trash network)...



...and Jayar, Cenk and Amy Vilela of TYT tell us about the wingnuts flipping out at Pizza Hut for encouraging reading LGBTQ-pride-themed books – still never an excuse to buy franchise pizza as far as I’m concerned, but I’d definitely make Pizza Hut an exception for this (interesting take by Cenk on the projection going on here too; I definitely tend to believe that)...



...and I apologize for finding out about this video a little late...I was wondering if ANYBODY was going to hold our world leaders to account for sucking up to Our Former Ol’ Buddy Vlad Putin, and this New York Times clip from about a couple of weeks ago does exactly that...hard to properly describe the unbelievable failure of world leadership on this score...there were plenty of warnings that were completely ignored...



Update 10/7/22: And I apologize for neglecting this heroic journalist who was murdered on Putin's birthday (wink, wink)...I know 5 were convicted in her killing as noted here, and 2 of the 5 ended up receiving life sentences.

...and this tune was No. 1 on the hit parade for WXYZ in Detroit 56 years ago yesterday as noted here.
