[What a bunch of journalistic wimps are the lamestream media. Already famous for their selective censoring of news which conflicts with their fragile ideology, they now show that they cannot even tolerate a smidgeon of balanced views with NBC hiring and then firing former RNC head Ronna McDaniel when their vaunted cadres of woke talking heads became hysterical at the thought of sharing airtime with a conservative. You really must have vacuum between your ears to let outlets like that be your news source. gjr]

I suppose it’s inevitable that a guy like Durkin would light in your neck of the woods …..plenty of places to get and be high….not many people around to complain if you are colorful. No “Street Sheet” to sell and certainly very few buyers in “Quainty Town” so the locals see to it that you get to blather in the local rag! I’m guessing that Tom much like our own C-Lyin is oblivious to the scandalous ….ahem …upcharges associated with government sponsored housing construction. Not sure why Capitalism comes in for a kicking? Tom has probably never seen it in his lifetime! To be sure much like defense contracts there’s plenty of “profit” in GovShak projects, it’s just spread around a little differently but much of it still finds its way back to the “right” people!*
And for the love of god if you want to be taken even semi-seriously…(can’t believe I’m saying this)….lose the headband and get a fucking haircut! It was a stupid look 50 years ago! Now you just look like a fucking retard (I know because I still get to cringe when I see old photos of myself)!

Oh well, the homeless industrial complex can be a tough dollar for it’s practitioners and needs rather constant PR.
Besides profit opportunities, it also seems to be a source of strong opinions by the least experienced. A tolerably practical person, even given unlimited money, would probably fail at an attempt to ‘correct’ something like that…and there’s probably as many reasons for living on the street as there are people.
No doubt you could try experiments and see if they work.
My own shot at the problem would be to encourage/subsidize the production of trailer parks, there ain’t nothin’ as cheap to build as that. I’d place them at the Rude Center, adjacent to social services/the sheriff/the jail, and deal with the problem of water in/shit out which any civilized society finds as it’s Prime Directive.
If that miserably fails, you just end up with a gravel lot and some hook-ups. No harm, no foul (or not much hopefully).

They appear to have squared the financial circle as the activist ‘non-profit’ economy continues to heat up.
. Working poor are nailed by ever-increasing sales taxes and inflation.
. Activist city councils are pushed by activist people-with-signs to hire activist non-profit which won’t do a lick of good.
. Activist non-profit collects tithe, goes to restaurant in celebration, hangs out at coffee shop with MacBook air, gets nails done.
. Working poor at restaurant, coffee shop, nail salon make a little money. Turn it over to government.

I was intrigued by the book, then the movie. I started to read the book to my daughter at bedtime. (Did I mention she was 3 y.o.?) Not my brightest idea. Then when the movie came out, I took her there. She was 6. Some folks just don’t learn.
Spoiler alert- One scene I liked was when Quaid (‘dead’, in a body bag, sent up to the mothership) commandeers a small space fighter. Tells the control center to open the bay doors because he’s leaving, to go back to the surface. When they are slow to do so, he opens them himself with a shrapnel-overpressure door-opener.
The ending is poignant. Quaid had to recite the lineage, over 100 generations, of Gossett’s son, now a small Drac, to be fully accepted into Drac culture.

A very bad optic to be rollin with the jillionairs and the likes of lizzo with mass protests and ignoring a casualty on their war on law enforcement and recidivist encouragement DAs –
Never Trumper Bill Kristol lamented the bad optics for Democrats as President Joe Biden chose to go to a multi-million dollar fundraiser in New York City hosted by Hollywood celebrities while former President Donald Trump attended a wake for a young New York City police officer killed on duty.
“An unfortunate day politically for the Democrats,” Kristol posted on X.
“Biden does a fancy NYC fundraiser in the midst of chaotic left-wing street protests–looks like limousine liberalism plus the breakdown of law and order,” he added, referring to mass protests outside of the fundraiser by activists opposing the Biden administration’s support for Israel.
Megyn Kelly noted that even before the fundraiser, Biden chose to spend time on a podcast hosted by another celebrity.
“This is what Joe Biden did today rather than honor Officer Diller at his wake. Before he headed to his $25m campaign fundraiser. You know, Biden the caring, “well-meaning” nice guy. Unlike the evil Trump who spent the day … at the officer’s wake, meeting with his widow & extending condolences to their now-fatherless baby,” she posted on X.

Fresh from the White House news:
Children of the National Guard are prohibited from submitting religious Easter egg designs for the 2024 “Celebrating National Guard Families” art event at the White House.
The flyer for the contest states that an Easter egg design submission “must not include any questionable content, religious symbols, overtly religious themes, or partisan political statements.”
So the leftists have eliminated any reference to the most significant holyday of Christendom. Maybe they’ll “make up” for it by having an Ilhan Omar Eid-roll the following week, to ensure Islam is not forgotten as one of the founding religions by our white, European country-founders.

Well that explains creepy grampa joes hard base of 30 percent on varying subjects and the wokesters willingness to pretend that Easter is not a religious high holy day hence the Easter egg ban at the creepy grammpa joes shithouse. Peace and joy be upon you and yours. –
The Daily Signal, citing a Scott Rasmussen National Survey poll, reported Thursday that almost 70 percent of registered voters believe in Jesus’ bodily resurrection, while over 70 percent say they will be celebrating Easter on Sunday.
Respondents were asked whether a series of statements were true or false. They were asked to evaluate whether “the man known to history as Jesus Christ actually existed and walked the earth,” or not.
By a margin of 83% to 5%, voters said they believe that Jesus Christ did in fact exist and walked the earth.
The margin of error for the survey was plus or minus 3.1 percentage points, according to Rasmussen.
In 2023, a WSJ/NORC poll found that the happiest people residing in the United States place greater value on religious belief than those who are unhappy in life, per Breitbart News:
The highest correlation for people saying they are “very happy” is belief in God, with 68 percent of this group declaring belief in God to be “very important” to them. By contrast, among those who are not happy, fewer than half (42 percent) say faith in God is very important to them.
Along with belief in God, the “very happy” overwhelmingly value strong relationships, and about 67 percent say marriage is very important to them, independent of their own marital status, compared with 43 percent of respondents overall.

Well, of course not. Can’t have that. I notice that the childrens’ book authors all toe the party line, but that’s probably nothing new for invitees. Can’t have too many kid books on Rosa Parks or Ruth Bader Ginsburg or strong wimmen engineers.
My favorite part of the White House website on this Easter Egg ‘non political’ event is the memory holing going on. Per archive.org, the web page is fairly standardized. Up through the end of the Trump administration, all old event webpages, regardless of administration, are referenced via the web archive. When you hit the Biden administration, they only have links to the events up through Obama. It’s as if Trump was never President.
I’ll bet if Biden wins again, the official Trump portraits will disappear. It’s like chiseling faces off of statues in ancient times.

James Lindsay on the ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’.
“I have a feeling this is going to go really badly for me, but it has to be said. The dynamic must be explained.
Yesterday, on Good Friday, one of the high holy days of the Christian faith, the Biden Administration proclaimed Easter Sunday, March 31, 2024 specifically to be a “trans day of visibility.” The official White House press release page shows an Easter Bunny by the White House, indicating they are fully aware that they are making this proclamation specifically about Easter Sunday, even though Easter is not specifically mentioned in the proclamation.
This isn’t just an insult to the Christian faith, and indeed an intolerable one that proclaims a form of embodied Gnostic theosophy that misleads and destroys kids. It is entirely consistent with Woke Theosophy, as I’ve discussed elsewhere and may attach here as a thread, but it is more than that. It is also a deliberate provocation against Christians that must be understood.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has doubts over whether President Biden fully understood what he was doing when he issued a proclamation declaring March 31, the same day as Easter this year, as Transgender Day of Visibility.
When asked during the White House Easter Egg Roll Monday about Johnson claiming on X that Biden – who is reputed devout Catholic – “betrayed” Easter tenets, the president accused the speaker of being “thoroughly uninformed” before retorting “I didn’t do that.”
However, the presidential document reads in part “I, Joseph R. Biden Jr… do hereby proclaim March 31, 2024 as Transgender Day of Visibility.”
Johnson pointed out out the discrepancy in an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity Monday and suggested the controversy is another indication of questions about the president’s mental acuity.
“[I]t’s highly possible that he doesn’t even know what he’s signing,” he added. “[T]hat might be even more alarming.”

Nahh….not more alarming….more entertaining. Like old M. A. S. H. reruns where Henry Blake signs whatever Radar put on the desk in front of him. In one episode he gave a lamb a discharge from the army so it wouldn’t end up as dinner!
A perfect thumbnail for progressivism.

Oh, look – our nation has a debt problem! Gee, where did that come from? Well – Trump, of course!
“Then assume — as most in Washington do — that ex-President Donald Trump’s tax cuts mainly stay in place, and the burden gets even higher.”
I know – lets jack taxes back up so the public has less to spend and invest. THAT will certainly be a good thing for the economy!
