Sean Morrow of More Perfect Union tells us that, with all of the global carnage going on primarily in Gaza, stocks in defense companies are doing pretty well, which is typically gross...didn’t know about the “NSC 68” memo...clip does a good job of pointing out the winners and losers in our out-of-control defense spending in this country...a select group of shareholders are the big winners of course, and regular consumers and our military personnel are each “the biggest loser” you might say...template for this was created by FDR during WWII as the clip notes, though I cannot possibly imagine that he envisioned what all of this would become in peacetime...Eisenhower, among others, saw this coming, which is why he made the speech about the “military industrial complex” of course...
...and related to what is going on in the Middle East (hopefully the cease fire in place will hold), Ana Kasparian of TYT tells us about the shooting of 3 Palestinians in Burlington, VT...suspect is someone named Jason Eaton...I thought this was a pretty good analysis by Ana, but then Wosny Lambre comes in and references “the so-called Hamas terrorists”??? What the hell is “so-called” for when THEY RAID A MUSIC FESTIVAL AND TAKE ISRAELIS HOSTAGE, INCLUDING WOMEN AND CHILDREN??!!...yet another reason why I’m careful about TYT clips, to be honest...this story is a littler personal for yours truly since we’ve been to Burlington a few times; it’s a beautiful little town nestled amidst the white mountains – just proves that random violence can strike anywhere, as if we needed to learn that lesson once again...Vermont has folks of all kinds of political affiliations, though, based on our experience, New Hampshire right next door has more folks who are inclined to side with the “R” party, and no, that’s not a blanket condemnation (I watched this clip twice to make sure I didn't screw this up, and yeah, Wosny Lambre really said "so-called" Hamas terrorists...and I thought this was a good column on the ongoing conflict)...
...and staying in New England for this one, Jesse Dollemore tells us about some Fix Noise guttersnipe named Lucas Tomlinson who cites a “reporter” yelling out that Biden is too old (in some place on Nantucket), when in fact, Tomlinson is the reporter doing that...yeah, “journalistic ethics”...what does that mean? And when it comes to Biden and the polls, I would ask that you consider this (and here is some reputable sourcing on the Rainbow Bridge story on the U.S.-Canada border)...
...and happy belated 80th birthday to Randy Newman...
...and here are more seasonal selections.
