Thursday Stuff

(Just a reminder that the whole "Fox News Christmas Tree Attacked By Homeless Guy" thing was last year, in case that needed to be pointed out.)

Retired U.S. Army Maj. Richard Ojeda of Rebel HQ tells us about that nematode Jesse Watters doing something he’s good at, and that’s demonizing people far less fortunate than he is...as Ojeda points out, the programs attacked by Watters will be extremely limited in scope (and gee, call me crazy, but aren’t we currently in the season where we’re supposed to, y’know, ACTUALLY BE CHARITABLE TO THOSE IN NEED??!! AS OPPOSED TO THE REST OF THE YEAR, WHERE WE SHOULD BE THAT WAY TOO??!!)...



...and Farron Cousins discusses the fact that, as it turned out, CRT as an alleged issue flopped big time in the just-concluded electoral cycle (according to research from the NEA)...yeah, parents care about education, to the extent that they want their kids to be protected from flu, RSV, COVID, etc. as well as not being slaughtered by some lunatic with a gun, but when it comes to made-up issues like CRT and alleged “grooming” or indoctrination...well, the wingnuts overplayed their hand as usual...



...and I now give you the latest installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” from 12/22/15, and I know I’m doing this less frequently than I have in the past because, to be honest, I think this concept is getting a little old by now, but we’ll see...with all of the news about Combover Caligula and his tax returns turned over to congressional Democrats (here) as well as the previously mentioned 4 criminal referrals against him (here), I think it’s appropriate to point out once more how the leader of Cult 45 professed his bromance for Vlad The Butcher long before the Ukraine carnage...and yeah, it’s pretty pathetic to see Joe Scar handing Our Gelatinous Orange Pustule a lifeline with that question about Putin killing journalists and political opponents – I’m bringing this back because I have a feeling our corporate media will try to “memory hole” this stuff to hype some GOP presidential primary battle between #45 and #DeathSantis (with John, Cenk, and Ben M. - not sure who the other guy is)...



...and speaking of the war, this report from the German news service DW tells us that it’s been 300 days since Putin’s illegal incursion in Ukraine began; this segment also talks about Vlad The Butcher’s illegal annexation of the Donetsk, Kherson, and Luhansk regions while battle rages in Bakhmut, and it looks like Moldova could be involved next...and 700 strikes on Ukraine’s health care facilities since February – God almighty...with Katherine Lawlor (though there was an attempt at a holiday celebration for the kids...and this is typically disgusting behavior from the usual Republican cretins during President Zelenskyy’s speech last night)...



Update: And speaking of Zelenskyy's speech, here is a brief excerpt (including the presentation of the flags)...



...and RIP Terry Hall of The Specials...



...and here are more seasonal selections (working my way down the list).
