[Happy Spring! If Trump is indicted and his trial starts going badly toward conviction, would that induce other Repubs not to throw their hats in the ring? If so, Trump would be the hands down favorite for Republican nominee. So if the Dems really want to run against Trump, would they not, as a tactic, want throw their case against Trump under the bus? gjr]

Now thats funny –
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz., said she stopped attending the Democrat’s “dumb luncheons” because “old dudes are eating Jell-O” and “everyone is talking about how great they are,” according to a recent Politico report.
While speaking with GOP lobbyists in Washington D.C., the Democrat-turned-independent senator reportedly said that caucus “lunches were ridiculous… Old dudes are eating Jell-O, everyone is talking about how great they are. I don’t really need to be there for that. That’s an hour and a half twice a week that I can get back.”
“The Northerners and the Westerners put cool whip on their Jell-O, and the Southerners put cottage cheese,” Sinema said poking fun at the Democratic Senators.

“”Ford Motor Company says its electric vehicle (EV) unit, “Ford Model e,” is losing billions of dollars, and should be viewed as a startup company.”
Ah, don’t worry, little buddy – Uncle Sugar’ll bail you out!”
I was thinking about that this morning. I wonder how many car companies will survive electrification. The whole thing is bound to be a dog’s dinner given the push by governments before it’s ready, the huge capital investment, the dragging chain of unions/old plants/dealerships to be dealt with.
Plus, as if that’s not enough, it’ll be a switch-over where a lot of people will lose brand loyalty…excepting perhaps Toyota.
Plus+, cars, a $50-$100k ‘investment, are now moving to the product cycles and obsolescence of a cell phone. Too much software, too much software interconnection, too many company-specific designs. Hell, they can’t even standardize on a couple of wheel hole patterns.
Losing the will to live this morning. Read the large school insert in Der Union this morning. More acronyms than you can shake a stick at (SASA). More self-congratulatory doggerel than you can handle. More feature creep than you can imagine.
So far as I can tell, this has gone nowhere:
https://www.theunion.com/opinion/columns/terry-mclaughlin-why-a-catholic-school-education/article_bd7d828c-090b-522b-8036-8919f76fc729.html
But I expect they are running into the fact that, unlike 100 years ago, it’s hard to get people with money to cough up a bit for civic institutions. That’s why there’s so many late 19th C. buildings with peoples’ names on them. Meetings and good intentions are insufficient for real projects in real life.
No doubt any failure in putting together a traditional/classical school is viewed with glee by the Left as it proves the evilness and lack of value of The Old Ways.

Thank God that we dont get another ignorant ass like alfred e newman at transportation –
Republicans were united in opposition to Washington, calling him unqualified because of limited aviation experience. Democrats and allied independents still might have pushed the nomination through, but key senators on their side balked at supporting Biden’s pick.
Washington’s fate appeared settled when Senate Commerce Committee Chair Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., abruptly called off a scheduled vote last Wednesday — a sign that she lacked enough votes to move the nomination out of committee. She said some senators wanted more information about Washington.
The FAA has lacked a Senate-confirmed administrator since March 2022. The agency is trying to reassure Americans that air travel is safe despite a surge in close calls between planes this year. It is also struggling with aging technology that failed in January, briefly canceling all takeoffs around the country. And it is still trying to repair its reputation after approving Boeing planes that crashed in 2018 and 2019.
Washington ran transit agencies in Denver and Los Angeles, but his only aviation-related experience is serving as CEO of the Denver airport for less than two years. He has strong ties to the administration, however — he led Biden’s 2020 transition team for the Transportation Department, which includes the FAA.
Biden nominated Washington last July, but he didn’t get a committee hearing for eight months. Republicans attacked his resume and seized on disclosures that his name appeared in search warrants related to a corruption investigation in Los Angeles.

Tennis legend Martina Navratilova recently praised the decision by World Athletics to ban males from competing against natural-born female athletes, calling it a “step in the right direction.”
Last week, the World Athletics Council moved to ban male athletes who identify as women from competing against biological females at international events. Lord Coe, head of World Athletics, said the new rules were set to kick in on March 31.
“Decisions are always difficult when they involve conflicting needs and rights between different groups, but we continue to take the view that we must maintain fairness for female athletes above all other considerations,” Lord Coe continued.

‘Native activists accuse Hollywood producer of faking Cherokee background’
Heather Rae previously headed up the Sundance Institute’s Native American program.
Native American watchdog group the Tribal Alliance Against Frauds (TAAF) recently demanded an apology from Hollywood producer Heather Rae over lying about her background.
https://www.foxnews.com/media/native-activists-accuse-hollywood-producer-faking-cherokee-background
—————-
Littlefeather, the lying Mexican.
Prior to this accusation, the Native American community was rocked by another scandal in Oct. 2022. Activist Sacheen Littlefeather, who gained notoriety after rejecting Marlon Brando’s Best Actor award for “The Godfather” in his stead at the 1973 Academy Awards, was revealed to, in fact, have no Native American heritage.
After her death earlier that month, Littlefeather’s sisters Trudy Orlandi and Rosalind Cruz revealed that the activist, born Marie Louise Cruz, was not ethnically Native American. According to Orlandi and Cruz, Littlefeather had changed her name after believing to find Native American heritage and became more active in protests.
“It’s a lie. … My father was who he was. His family came from Mexico, and my dad was born in Oxnard,” Orlandi said.
In September, before Littlefeather’s death, Rae helped Academy members to construct an apology to the activist for “blacklisting” her after her demonstration at the awards ceremony.

2) If the ‘burn her at the stake’ and ‘shoot the messenger’ sheeple are so damn certain that they have the one true science and facts, then why have we gone from the pandemic of the unvaccinated to the current proven pandemic of the vaccinated? Riddle me that, Batman.

And that they will continue losing money for ‘x’ more months. In an email reply to me he said that this is too difficult or obscure to get Congressional attention yet.
The Fed was a money-maker from 1916 up to 2021. “The Fed did generate profits, which it sent to the Treasury, every year from 1916 on — until last fall. In a development previously unheard of, the Federal Reserve has suffered operating losses of about $42 billion since September 2022.” Whew – for a minute there I thought it was $42T. Only billion.

Remember when mass shootings like the one at the Tennessee Elementary school yesterday was about guns?

It’s just bound to have more exotic political side effects.

Given what appears to be national normalization of mental illness, whether it’s men-in-dresses or insane homeless, it’s even an argument that can be made in good faith. It could well be that ‘conservatives’ (ie. normal people who think what everyone used to think in the 20th C.) need to start physically protecting themselves more robustly. After you watch your 100th black-clad group screaming at some speaker somewhere, or the occasional burning strip mall, it’s natural to look at your own surroundings.

Oh well. If you base advancement through the officer ranks to the Komissar’s official ‘OK’, that’s what you get.
Maybe the hope is that there’s just a small amount of time where manned offensive aircraft are still a thing, and we can just sneak through it. In the meantime, the really big programs like the F-35 can provide an iron rice bowl for a scad of people.

Maybe but both sides have been (with the exception of President Brainstem)…..restrained…..in making public statements to this point. Probably too much downside politically this soon after given that yesterdays “Mistress of Ceremonies” was a dues fully paid member of the “Coalition of the Fringes” for Proglodyte America to go their standard batshit crazy!

It depends on where you look. I don’t doubt that the nomenklatura is easing off, but The Voice of the People, crazy people that is, is found elsewhere.
The bit of political jiu-jitsu going on right now, so far as I can tell, is to get out in front of the outrage. The terrible terrible thing isn’t that someone shot children with militarystyleassaultrifles, or that some crazy transgender shot children, but that someone noticed that the perp is transgender and that maybe those people have mental issues. Anyone thinking that is, of course, transphobic and has committed the ultimate Thought Crime.
At this point, I’d say that the Left has placed men-in-dresses at the very tippy top of the grievance pyramid, surprisingly even outpacing use of the ‘word that shall not be uttered’, the word beginning with ‘N’ that is the most hateful terrible unsayable word in the English language, worthy of a de-personing.
Just wait until we combine the current ruling class, and it’s need to own your mind, with the increasing physical ability to actually infer what you are thinking. The crime of ‘hate thoughts’ may well be both measurable and punishable in your lifetime.

“The crime of ‘hate thoughts’ may well be both measurable and punishable in your lifetime.”
as a side note, this may well explain part of the current political landscape. It’s not 100% cyclical public uproar.
It could be that everyone has an uneasy feeling that the next round of technology, centralization/control of finance, utilities, surveillance at both work and home, instant mobs, control of social media, means that whoever gets the chair when the music stops will get to sit forever.
Some kind of perpetual authoritarianism will take place at some point, and you want your seat in the ruling class.
As that day draws closer, you could expect the fight to become more fierce.

The motive behind the trans shooter is simple. Mental illness. You have to be mentally ill to think a dude can become a girl. The mentally ill shooter’s friend said he had high levels of autism. High levels of autism are usually found in depressed girls who think they can become dudes. but mental illness nonetheless. Wackos. Crazies. A very sad state of affairs.
And to think the shooter was on track to become Nashville’s Woman of the Year.
