Sorry for the verb omission, Harvey; it wasn't done purposely to inflame your mind. I was recently amusing myself with the realization Trump wants to stop all the "Made in China" stuff, such as plumbing parts. Why? Because city-slicker dudes like yourself will eventually go without water because there won't be any plumbing parts available till US manufacturing get on board making stuff again. But we country boys just brush off the metal chips on our lathes and hog out a new water valve out of stock brass laying around the shop. Water flows again; the cost is nothing.
It's difficult for us wood chopping country boys to say "Obama" because he admitted not to be able to fix stuff, making the guy worthless, IMO. Ask my wife why she married me, and she'll say it's because I can fix stuff.
I know it's ok to end a sentence with a preposition such as "for," but I think you can do better than that, Harvey. Are you a fine-tuned, political conversation person, Harvey? Do you carry a degree in political BS?
You are a humorless guy, Harvey. I'm assuming you do know what humor is, Harvey. And you just don't have any. You better stay out of the locker rooms, or you'll spend time in a Trump Insane Asylum for Democrats. I can see you spinning around in circles, drool exiting your mouth, spitting saliva, beating your fist on the table ... thinking how bad you want a Tesla, but you can't have one because it isn't politically correct.
My family also camped at Yosemite every summer back in the late 50s, early 60s…nothing quite so spectacular for kids as the fire falls! Also cool to watch the bears feed on the garbage put out by the rangers
I'm eating Ukrainian sour cream on my kimchi duck egg omelette while reading Eringer bash Putin yet again. Ukrainian sour cream is the best - you can get it at the Euro Market on Hollister near Modoc. It has magical microbiological cultures which we could all use more of instead of the crap coming out of the biolabs we helped install there. And all I can think as I enjoy the sour cream's delicious tang is: why didn't the Obama and Biden administrations leave Ukraine's gut health alone? Those microbiological cultures were doing just fine before our government's installation of a cokehead whose own gut health is bombed every hour by his inhalations. And while you're buying Ukrainian sour cream, treat yourself to some affordable gut bliss at Pang Zi Noodles across the street.
Thanks for the post-tariff business concept of producing America's first Ukrainian Sour Cream. I believe it's not where it's made matters, but what a product is called. I like sour cream and butter, bacon bits and chives on microwaved baked potatoes. Sour cream is the home of the baked potato.
Ah. We have not met. Potatoes in duck fat. Oh be mine. Here I am sipping my well deserved weekday Martini terrified that the Brits will find a way to cause a massive price rise in decent gin. I was intending to engage the current twit Harvey in a battle of wits; but, in the style of Oscar Wilde, I refuse to do such battle with an unarmed man (or whatever the pronouns would be preferred). Cheers.
Ever consider selling yourself as a pinata (sorry Harvey, I lost the tilde)? You could fill yourself up with all kinds of sweet stuff and then let the kids bang the heck out of you to get at the sweet stuff. Give it a try and maybe you'll discover something about yourself.
You seem to be my best friend right now because you like chatting with me, Harvey. I'm sorry Kamala isn't running things the way you would want them to be. Maybe within this century another Democrat will surface when the long line of Trump and Musk inheritors to the Presidency is completely exhausted. In the meantime, checkout in Ireland and make friends with "happy" Rosie O'Donnell. They like the bottled stuff in Ireland, too.
The man who was one of the engineers of Russiagate, Strobe Talbott, stayed in my family's house when he was still a college student who translated Kruschev's Memoirs. I was a teen but could see he definitely saw himself as one of the anointed, to use Thomas Sowell's term. I didn't believe Russiagate at all when it came out.
Too bad many in the West don’t have a better understanding (or do they?) of events in the lead up to the Russian Federation’s decision to confront Ukraine as a result of NATO and Western powers’ moves. Sad to read another example of ‘Mad Vlad’ this morning.
I realize that’s it difficult for people to wrap the heads around the possibility that Our Great Nation is a participant in pushing for the destruction of the Russian Federation, via Ukraine as a proxy with NATO running the operation. Why? Anyone else wonder why NAZI generals went on to populate NATO positions of control after the end of WWII?
we have been trained to believe that Russia is the boogeyman…sad to watch the emasculation of Ukraine…who benefits? Fact: UKRAINE was the single largest Clinton Foundation donor. Coincidence?
Why was POTUS Trump framed re: Russia collusion?
Protect truth re: Hillary/DNC Russia collusion?
Why was POTUS Trump impeached re: Ukraine?
Protect truth re: Biden/[CLAS 1-99] UKRAINE collusion?
Blame 'opponent' for what they themselves are guilty of? [DNC media push echo _submitted 'talking points' _generate false narrative].
Yes we did…and people don't realize that most of the goal of project paperclip was not the rocket scientist. The number one goal was chemist and, specifically, vaccine chemist. They brought these guys over & filled up our pharmaceutical industry, but they also went to the food industry and the chemical industry and all sorts of forms.
Theo, since you are repeating the narratives, you have no idea of the reasons leading up to Russia’s military incursion in Ukraine…ponder this one, what would be your feeling if a foreign adversary, say China, decided to install missiles & rockets in Canada and/or Mexico with US major cities as targets?
Can you give me the two primary goals for Putin’s military incursion? Hint: your MSM sources will never tell…
I was a freshman in ROTC given a full combat kit, an M2 Carbine and an "MP" arm badge and stuck in the armory of a major 'land grant university'. It was confusing.
Hmmm…you sound so worldly, but naive…do you know of the lead up to the Cuban missile crisis? FYI, it’s all the same people behind the scenes (CIA-Mossad +++) running both sides of the equations. WHO are the puppet masters?
JFK was on to them and, as you may know, wanted to break them into a 1,000 pieces & scatter them to the winds…thus his murder.
listen carefully, every word is true… imagine the growth of power and influence over the past 60 years by this dark side of the world?
Cuban missile crisis: Here's a more detailed explanation:
US Jupiter Missiles in Turkey:
In 1961, the United States deployed PGM-19 Jupiter missiles, capable of carrying nuclear warheads, to Turkey, a NATO base located 130 miles from the Soviet border.
Soviet Grievance:
Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev saw the US missile deployment in Turkey as a direct threat and a violation of the balance of power.
Cuban Missile Crisis:
In response, Khrushchev initiated the secret deployment of medium- and intermediate-range ballistic missiles to Cuba, aiming to create a similar threat to the United States.
Negotiations:
The US discovery of the Soviet missiles in Cuba led to the Cuban Missile Crisis, a tense standoff that brought the world to the brink of nuclear war.
Resolution:
Ultimately, Kennedy and Khrushchev negotiated a resolution, with the Soviets agreeing to remove their missiles from Cuba in exchange for a US pledge not to invade Cuba and a US agreement to remove its Jupiter missiles from Turkey, though this removal was done later to avoid appearing as a direct concession.
Interesting history. Today's hydrogen bomb is about 1000 times more energy than the atomic bomb Japan experienced. It would take several megaton bombs to do serious damage to Moscow (Grok performed a five minute "DeepSearch"). Interestingly, if a simultaneous event occurred, there probably would not be anybody to direct any pre-planned Russian war event. My hunch is that Trump is discussing this approach with the Pentagon. It is so important to be the first to attack. Talk about something that has to be Top Top Secret.
I'm looking down at my spam and eggs and wondering why this just tastes so darn good when deep down I know that it couldn't rightly be called food? Is it the culinary analogue to the main stream media for Democrats?
I grew up on SPAM when I was a kid and liked it. I haven't had it since. I grew up on American Cheese and now hate the stuff. I hated asparagus when I was a kid because my mother made it "stringy." But if asparagus is cooked properly, I love it. I loved egg salad sandwiches when I was a kid, and I still do. I loved hot chocolate in a red plaid patterned Thermos on a cold New England school lunch day when I was a kid, and my thought is I would love it now. The Thermos carried in a Roy Rogers or Hopalong Cassidy lunch box. A red plaid patterned lunch box, even better filled with chocolate chip cookies from the apple jar.
Here's a dialogue between my husband and ChatGPT about yogurt:
RAY: I think Fage’s plain yogurt is pretty good but my wife finds it OK-but-lame. At the moment she’s wildly into Bulgarian yogurt that we pick up from nearby Euro Market. Is today’s Fage plain yogurt still what it once was? And how do real yogurt buffs view it these days?
CHATGPT: As for FAGE, your sense is spot-on. It’s still one of the better mass-market yogurts in the U.S., especially compared to most big-brand “Greek-style” offerings, but among purists and longtime yogurt nerds, it’s often seen as:
• A gateway yogurt. Good enough to be taken seriously, but not quite as bold or alive as the small-batch, tangy, traditional stuff.
• In decline, maybe. There’s some anecdotal grumbling among yogurt heads that FAGE changed after shifting some U.S. production to upstate New York around 2008–2010. The claim is that it got a little milder, a little more consistent, a little less Balkan. Nothing drastic, but enough for sensitive palates to notice.
What sets FAGE apart (still):
• It’s genuinely strained, not thickened with gums or starches like some imitators.
• No added sugar in the plain version.
• Texture is smooth and dense, not goopy or gelatinous.
But…
• It’s not as tangy or assertive as Bulgarian or some Lebanese or Persian yogurts.
• The cultures are active, but there’s a kind of domesticated feel to it now—like the wildness has been bred out.
If your wife is loving Bulgarian yogurt, I get it. That stuff tends to be livelier, with a sharper tang and often a looser, almost drinkable texture depending on the brand. Real Bulgarian yogurt (with Lactobacillus bulgaricus) hits the palate differently—there’s a kind of clean, sour snap to it that FAGE just doesn’t quite replicate. Would you say her ideal yogurt is thinner and zingier, or thick and mouth-coating but still tart? And do you ever cook with it, or is this strictly a spoon-and-sigh situation? Because if you’re both deep in the yogurt life, there’s a whole rabbit hole of styles and methods to explore—even raw milk cultures if you’re feeling frontier-ish.
I read this article by "Intelligence Person" Mr. Eringer titled
"Cory Booker Rants! Mad Vlad's War Dance! Sir Elton's Thunderpants! Einstein Supplants!"
and I have a new title "US Crossed Russian Red Line to Possible WWIII"
I quote from Mr Eringer his Key Statements below "“Moscow orders another 160,000 servicemen to be conscripted – Russia's largest increase since war began in Ukraine – as Putin continues to delay ceasefire” (Daily Mail) AND This sounds neither like a dictator interested in peace nor a tyrant who has any intention of agreeing to a ceasefire in Ukraine. AND On the contrary, Mad Vlad is a brutal Stalinist/imperialist who desires to redraw the map with a blood-soaked bayonet"
The US Foreign Policy, since 1950s, has been Regime Change VIA Military/Intelligence Coups>
The US again has funded another War, the Ukraine War with 100's of Billions to basically Kill
hundreds of thousands of Russian's & Ukraine's. But the US is not messing with
a weak country like Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Iran, Iraq, Columbia, Cuba or even Puru but a
Major Superpower Russia.
Eringer makes this Burden Shifting and Shapeshifting Statement "Putin’s real script: Keep killing until Ukraine is either bled into submission or divided into manageable pieces."
The US Regime Change Program = Buy-Out the most Corrupt Dictators to DESTABLIZE the entire Region until EVEYTHING CRASHES & STEAL THE "MANAGEABOE PIECES" like World-Stock-Markets-Crash in the last few days THANK-YOU the Elite Globalist Like SOROS et al.
Here is How-It-Is-Done REGIME CHANGE weblink below>
Cory “Spartacus” Booker is somewhat of a dichotomy. Highly educated, Stanford, Oxford and Yale, but chooses to live in a hell hole like Newark, NJ. I give him credit for putting his money where his mouth is, for living in a classic example of a Democratic run basket case ie, crime, despair, destruction, mayhem and debauchery.
Yes, his recent record breaking filibuster on the floor of the Senate lasted over 25 hours. What did he say? I have no idea. Not sure he does either. He obviously wants so bad to be the leader of his own party. A party which resembles his hometown…both being unmitigated disasters!
Too bad his Senate colleague is no longer by his side in the Garden State. Why? Because Bob “Gold Bar” Menendez is in a Federal Penitentiary for accepting bribes.
Time will tell if “Spartacus” can lead a rag-tag army against the Roman Legion, but clearly Cory Booker is no Kirk Douglas.
Harvey: Your blood pressure appears to be running high. Possibly too much caffeine. Recommendation: a Xanax to calm your nerves.
To set you straight, assuming you’re not stuck in a curved position (I hope you don’t suffer spinal stenosis or I’d feel bad about using this metaphor): I watched Trump speak about dealing with Covid in real-time. Not sure you understood (maybe you were watching MSNBC). Trump did not push disinfectants as a remedy but merely pointed out the absurdities of the situation. The mainstream news media, suffering derangement (all the rage back then), twisted Trump’s words into an inaccurate poisonous narrative.
Harvey, you then descend into an incessant stream of profanity and name-calling. Sorry to point out something F. Scott Fitzgerald once said ( I think): Only those who cannot express themselves intelligently resort to low language.
Elevate yourself, Harvey, you can do better.
Polly : Don’t know why you think so highly of Putin. His energy is very dark and he will likely suffer the same fate as Libya’s Gaddafi Duck and Romania’s Ceausescu, both executed by those they purported to lead. (This is a Russian tradition and will likely turn out as yet another case of history repeating itself.)
Nancy, Nancy, Nancy Freeman: The rant was Cory’s (all 25 hours). But to answer your question: Nothing makes me think anyone cares what I write. Until, that is, you came along. Thank you for caring. As for truth and sanity: Truth exists only in the moment and thereafter becomes subjective i.e., subject to interpretation. As for sanity? I look to Mark Twain for an explanation: “In all matters of sanity our adversaries are insane.” That said, I do not look upon Americans with opinions different to my own as adversaries (or insane). I look at them as Americans who are entitled to their opinions and should freely express them in this forum and elsewhere. That is the beauty of our democracy.
As for “lies and disinformation”: Methinks, Nancy, that before casting a stone elsewhere, you should address what went on inside Joe Biden’s White House.
My best advice: Broaden your news sources. Enlightenment is possible, open your mind.
To LT: It’s probably not fair to blame or pick on anyone’s possible addictions. We’re all human with foibles, flaws and weaknesses. With a little encouragement, Nance may come around, please give her a chance, fat as it may be (and, again, if Nance is fat, I regret the metaphor).
But Harvey? Not so sure. He may need therapy.
To Earl, J. Livingston & DL Dawson: OMG—I was there! Summer of ‘63. Camp Curry, fire fall, bears feeding at the dump, saw it all—an American childhood I treasure.
Robert, I don't think highly of Putin, so please don't frame my remarks about your weekly Putin bashing in that way. I am critical of the US interference in Ukraine, of the Biden family using it for their own gain, of NATO, the EU, of putting biolabs there. What I don't think highly of is the US continuing to spend money on a pointless war in Ukraine. As for Gaddafi, Hillary bragged about killing him - disgusting. He was killed because he threatened globalist banking, not because he was a terrible person. And as Gaddfi warned, his death meant millions flooding into Europe. Do you really think this has been an advance? I don't.
Polly, thanks for clarifying. I agree with you. Much to be uncovered about Biden family corruption in Ukraine, and I am supportive of Trump's stance on Zelensky.
You start out ranting about Cory Booker’s rant. Actually, it seems like that’s what a filibuster is a long, long rant. So it seems you have been filibustering at least once a week, or so. It might seem like nonsense to you, but Cory Booker came prepared. He brought 15 binders with 1,164 pages of prepared material. Filibuster material doesn’t have to make sense. People have read from “Green Eggs and Ham”, just to fill in time. Speaking of time, Congratulations to Cory Booker for breaking Strom Thurmond’s 24 hr filibuster racist rant to try to stop The Civil Rights Act.
Don’t hold your breath waiting for the Jeffrey Epstein files. They’ll have as much information as the JFK Files did. As for Pam Bondi, her title may be AG, but she is in fact trump‘s personal lawyer. He has her going after everyone that ever hurt his feelings.
I don’t remember if you even mention tariffs in your filibuster, it was so long. Are you aware that Russia was not on the tariff list? The reason given was because they were in the middle of peace negotiations. Why then was Ukraine on the tariff list? Aren’t they in the middle of peace negotiations, too?
The actual “Liberation Day” will be noon on trumps last day in office. Someone needs to start Articles of Impeachment.
Anybody posturing this early for 2028 will be gone way before the primaries. As to Michelle Obama, she is just another in a long line of liberals with a failed radio program/podcast. Please go away, you are and have always been boring!
R. Eringer: what makes you think anyone cares about YOUR rant? Or the rest of the bunch who spew lies and misinformation every effin day? Try some truth and sanity for a. Hange
Who is this Michelle Obama??
Michael.
She's the wife of an ex-President that YouTube's interesting, post-dieting stuff like "How to Climb In and Out of An Ant Hole."
Oh, he voted for Biden? I'll be darned.
Worse yet, he voted for Harris, lol.
Sorry for the verb omission, Harvey; it wasn't done purposely to inflame your mind. I was recently amusing myself with the realization Trump wants to stop all the "Made in China" stuff, such as plumbing parts. Why? Because city-slicker dudes like yourself will eventually go without water because there won't be any plumbing parts available till US manufacturing get on board making stuff again. But we country boys just brush off the metal chips on our lathes and hog out a new water valve out of stock brass laying around the shop. Water flows again; the cost is nothing.
It's difficult for us wood chopping country boys to say "Obama" because he admitted not to be able to fix stuff, making the guy worthless, IMO. Ask my wife why she married me, and she'll say it's because I can fix stuff.
I know it's ok to end a sentence with a preposition such as "for," but I think you can do better than that, Harvey. Are you a fine-tuned, political conversation person, Harvey? Do you carry a degree in political BS?
You are a humorless guy, Harvey. I'm assuming you do know what humor is, Harvey. And you just don't have any. You better stay out of the locker rooms, or you'll spend time in a Trump Insane Asylum for Democrats. I can see you spinning around in circles, drool exiting your mouth, spitting saliva, beating your fist on the table ... thinking how bad you want a Tesla, but you can't have one because it isn't politically correct.
Who JB? A over educated, ideologue who resents her country.
Bruh, you’re obviously off your meds again. Piss off!
BTW, dumb shit I have 3 Degrees, YOU on the 5 year plan at SBCC?
My suggestion Pecker, I mean Becker, have your Doc up the Cymbalta.
Oh come on Teko, why be so butt hurt? I actually thought you made some great points today on Russian/Ukrainian relations.
I know Teko, I can be a real pious a-hole. BTW, you still working the night shift at Budget Inn?
He's a fool who was married to the 2nd worse president the country has ever been infected with.
Love your rant JL. Did you ever see the fire fall? I worked in Yosemite one summer in college.
Michelle Obama - he's a jerk!
Happy that you got a chance to see it - it ended in 1968.
My family also camped at Yosemite every summer back in the late 50s, early 60s…nothing quite so spectacular for kids as the fire falls! Also cool to watch the bears feed on the garbage put out by the rangers
So, you've decided on no more comments?

Who specifically are the “puppet masters,” DL?
Perhaps a surprise all-out nuclear bombing of Russia is being considered. "He who nuclear bombs first wins." Japan learned that one.
Interesting history. Today's hydrogen bomb is about 1000 times more energy than the atomic bomb Japan experienced. It would take several megaton bombs to do serious damage to Moscow (Grok performed a five minute "DeepSearch").

Can you buy it here? I do love Bulgarian yoghurt (spelled with an h) which I have every morning. At the Euro Market along with Bulgarian Feta.

I quote from Mr Eringer his Key Statements below "“Moscow orders another 160,000 servicemen to be conscripted – Russia's largest increase since war began in Ukraine – as Putin continues to delay ceasefire” (Daily Mail) AND This sounds neither like a dictator interested in peace nor a tyrant who has any intention of agreeing to a ceasefire in Ukraine. AND On the contrary, Mad Vlad is a brutal Stalinist/imperialist who desires to redraw the map with a blood-soaked bayonet"
The US Foreign Policy, since 1950s, has been Regime Change VIA Military/Intelligence Coups>

The US again has funded another War, the Ukraine War with 100's of Billions to basically Kill
hundreds of thousands of Russian's & Ukraine's. But the US is not messing with
a weak country like Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Iran, Iraq, Columbia, Cuba or even Puru but a
Major Superpower Russia.
Eringer makes this Burden Shifting and Shapeshifting Statement "Putin’s real script: Keep killing until Ukraine is either bled into submission or divided into manageable pieces."
The US Regime Change Program = Buy-Out the most Corrupt Dictators to DESTABLIZE the entire Region until EVEYTHING CRASHES & STEAL THE "MANAGEABOE PIECES" like World-Stock-Markets-Crash in the last few days THANK-YOU the Elite Globalist Like SOROS et al.

Cory “Spartacus” Booker is somewhat of a dichotomy. Highly educated, Stanford, Oxford and Yale, but chooses to live in a hell hole like Newark, NJ. I give him credit for putting his money where his mouth is, for living in a classic example of a Democratic run basket case ie, crime, despair, destruction, mayhem and debauchery.
Yes, his recent record breaking filibuster on the floor of the Senate lasted over 25 hours. What did he say? I have no idea. Not sure he does either. He obviously wants so bad to be the leader of his own party. A party which resembles his hometown…both being unmitigated disasters!
Too bad his Senate colleague is no longer by his side in the Garden State. Why? Because Bob “Gold Bar” Menendez is in a Federal Penitentiary for accepting bribes.
Time will tell if “Spartacus” can lead a rag-tag army against the Roman Legion, but clearly Cory Booker is no Kirk Douglas.
Your fans LOVE your revues. Those that don’t, but read them anyway, have jealousy - and other - issues. Carry on. 👍🇺🇸
Harvey: Your blood pressure appears to be running high. Possibly too much caffeine. Recommendation: a Xanax to calm your nerves.
To set you straight, assuming you’re not stuck in a curved position (I hope you don’t suffer spinal stenosis or I’d feel bad about using this metaphor): I watched Trump speak about dealing with Covid in real-time. Not sure you understood (maybe you were watching MSNBC). Trump did not push disinfectants as a remedy but merely pointed out the absurdities of the situation. The mainstream news media, suffering derangement (all the rage back then), twisted Trump’s words into an inaccurate poisonous narrative.
Harvey, you then descend into an incessant stream of profanity and name-calling. Sorry to point out something F. Scott Fitzgerald once said ( I think): Only those who cannot express themselves intelligently resort to low language.
Elevate yourself, Harvey, you can do better.
Polly : Don’t know why you think so highly of Putin. His energy is very dark and he will likely suffer the same fate as Libya’s Gaddafi Duck and Romania’s Ceausescu, both executed by those they purported to lead. (This is a Russian tradition and will likely turn out as yet another case of history repeating itself.)
Nancy, Nancy, Nancy Freeman: The rant was Cory’s (all 25 hours). But to answer your question: Nothing makes me think anyone cares what I write. Until, that is, you came along. Thank you for caring. As for truth and sanity: Truth exists only in the moment and thereafter becomes subjective i.e., subject to interpretation. As for sanity? I look to Mark Twain for an explanation: “In all matters of sanity our adversaries are insane.” That said, I do not look upon Americans with opinions different to my own as adversaries (or insane). I look at them as Americans who are entitled to their opinions and should freely express them in this forum and elsewhere. That is the beauty of our democracy.
As for “lies and disinformation”: Methinks, Nancy, that before casting a stone elsewhere, you should address what went on inside Joe Biden’s White House.
My best advice: Broaden your news sources. Enlightenment is possible, open your mind.
To LT: It’s probably not fair to blame or pick on anyone’s possible addictions. We’re all human with foibles, flaws and weaknesses. With a little encouragement, Nance may come around, please give her a chance, fat as it may be (and, again, if Nance is fat, I regret the metaphor).
But Harvey? Not so sure. He may need therapy.
To Earl, J. Livingston & DL Dawson: OMG—I was there! Summer of ‘63. Camp Curry, fire fall, bears feeding at the dump, saw it all—an American childhood I treasure.
Cate Wilkins: You’re the best, love you.
Robert, I don't think highly of Putin, so please don't frame my remarks about your weekly Putin bashing in that way. I am critical of the US interference in Ukraine, of the Biden family using it for their own gain, of NATO, the EU, of putting biolabs there. What I don't think highly of is the US continuing to spend money on a pointless war in Ukraine. As for Gaddafi, Hillary bragged about killing him - disgusting. He was killed because he threatened globalist banking, not because he was a terrible person. And as Gaddfi warned, his death meant millions flooding into Europe. Do you really think this has been an advance? I don't.
Polly, thanks for clarifying. I agree with you. Much to be uncovered about Biden family corruption in Ukraine, and I am supportive of Trump's stance on Zelensky.
Well, I also love your column.
Perhaps Emmanuel Macron is continuously being "Hoist on His Own Petard"? Check it out.
Robert,
You start out ranting about Cory Booker’s rant. Actually, it seems like that’s what a filibuster is a long, long rant. So it seems you have been filibustering at least once a week, or so. It might seem like nonsense to you, but Cory Booker came prepared. He brought 15 binders with 1,164 pages of prepared material. Filibuster material doesn’t have to make sense. People have read from “Green Eggs and Ham”, just to fill in time. Speaking of time, Congratulations to Cory Booker for breaking Strom Thurmond’s 24 hr filibuster racist rant to try to stop The Civil Rights Act.
Don’t hold your breath waiting for the Jeffrey Epstein files. They’ll have as much information as the JFK Files did. As for Pam Bondi, her title may be AG, but she is in fact trump‘s personal lawyer. He has her going after everyone that ever hurt his feelings.
I don’t remember if you even mention tariffs in your filibuster, it was so long. Are you aware that Russia was not on the tariff list? The reason given was because they were in the middle of peace negotiations. Why then was Ukraine on the tariff list? Aren’t they in the middle of peace negotiations, too?
The actual “Liberation Day” will be noon on trumps last day in office. Someone needs to start Articles of Impeachment.
Anybody posturing this early for 2028 will be gone way before the primaries. As to Michelle Obama, she is just another in a long line of liberals with a failed radio program/podcast. Please go away, you are and have always been boring!
R. Eringer: what makes you think anyone cares about YOUR rant? Or the rest of the bunch who spew lies and misinformation every effin day? Try some truth and sanity for a. Hange
Really Freeman, hitting the Early Times again before noon?
'Early Times'? Hippie chicks like gummies!
