That Polish athlete is what’s known as a “role model”. We used to have those in the United States in the pre-woke era. God bless her. She’s a fine person.

Kevin McCarthy needs to go, but the damage is done and all the fake conservatives went along. I do like the clarity though. The GOP is just as bad as the Dems. All corporatist whores. How can any one of these people get up with a straight face and tell you they represent the American people? Then again, lying comes easy for con artists.

The fake conservatives apparently now even includes Marjorie Taylor Greene who now insists the J6 tapes be kept under wraps.

She also supported the "deal".

Could be. I think she and her husband divorced recently. There could be a story there somewhere.

I hadnt thought of that but yeah, she made a couple weird comments when it was announced. They have been trying for yrs to catch her at something. Its just sad state of affairs about DC and who had dirt on whom.

So much here Don, but I think the piece highlighting the response to the burning of Old Glory (permitted) and their freak flag (not permitted, and a nod to another song) says all that needs to be said as we circle the drain.

The LGBTQ flag in question was a little bitty one in a planter. Only in America.

#29 - The Budlight and Target boycotts may be sending a message, but they don’t care. The ESG policies have the marketplace in a stranglehold. They can’t get financing and/or get penalized if they don’t adhere to it. It’s the banks and Wall Street, in total cahoots with the Govt who are the driving force of all this crap being shoved down our throats. And Without an alternative marketplace for us to shop we will be the ones left with nothing. Until ESG is stopped dead in tracks for its discriminatory, anti-trust and collusion crimes, they will circle the wagons until they have strangled us.

#25 If Nancy Pelosi was in charge and over-seeing the Capitol Police during the Jan. 6 protest, then wouldn't Kevin McCarthy have that position now? Who knew McCarthy was so anti-American? I think some of us did.

When McCarthy releases the j6 prisoners we’ll know he’s in charge. Do you think pelosi would leave them there if the situation was reversed? Fat chance.

15 - mob on mob action. Concrete company vs. the teamsters. Surprised no one on either side has been found wearing concrete boots.

This will be one of many 8-1 decisions involving Injustice Brown.

Her dissent literally boiled down to, “the fox should be able to determine who guards the henhouse.”

Ya Can’t make it up!

Expand full comment

Actually, I read elsewhere that she dissented because the case has not made it through a lower court. I did not check that -- merely throwing it out as a possibility. Perhaps she's not a bad person after all. We will see.

Expand full comment

It did go through numerous courts like a ping pong ball until it ended up at SCOTUS, and was sent back to the lower court with the caveat to consider the SCOTUS decision.

Brown’s dissent, in a nutshell, whined that the Labor Unions should be the ones to determine in their rules whether the destruction of a company’s property is “allowable” in the course of a strike. That is pure nuts.

She is a government shill.

Thanks for that explanation. If that's the way it went, I will not disagree with your characterization of her.

Someone years ago asked a friend of mine if he wanted a Bud Light. My friend replied that he would never drink foaming yellow liquids associated with large draft animals.

I'm enjoying Faux's fall, the most. Biden falls so frequently it's almost cliché. CNN hasn't fallen as much as it just can't get up. Target won't notice, and it isn't that the poll is too hard, but it's missing AB InBev's Bud Light as an option.

#1: "The Neville Chamberlain of budgeting."

Indeed. Ah, yes - National Review - that paragon of journalistic excellence on a par with the fish wrap that is the NYT. Tell me WFB, Jr. isn't turning over in his grave with such speed as to become dizzy.

Love the citing of Traffic's, The Low Spark Of High-Heeled Boys.

#3: I'm pretty sure the homosexuals leaving Florida will not be missed by the remaining normal folks, and likely not even by the homos that stay put. $100 says that the homosexual population of Key West is unchanged.

#4: Hardly surprising, anymore. Outrage is pointless.

#5: Sad, and demoralizing - not because the Democrats have weaponized the State against its political enemy (that's what they do - they can't help themselves), but because Jim Justice, the Temporary Republican, is the best hope to flip Manchin's senate seat.

#7: Just how bad is it when you can't even copycat CNN? If it wasn't crystal-clear before, it must be, now - FauxNews needs to pack it in, and have an oscillating camera showing analog displays of the time in each continental time zone, and weather readings like wind speed, barometric pressure, dew point, et al. 24/7.

#8: CNN without Trump is FauxNews Lite.

#10: Let's hope that as a result, there are tens of thousands of impromptu rainbow-flag burnings across the nation this summer!

#11: Where are all the shareholders that do not have a controlling interest? Collectively, they constitute a majority, and they need to remove the current board and C-level management.

#12: Once we begin to fight back, watch out. They're going to poke the bear once too often.

#13: Not even the SS and the military can protect the president ALL the time...

#14: Soros, Kemp, ["Gov."] Abrams...

#17: Of course, not. When >92.5% of the population is white, you don't have those kinds of problems.

#19: Fat chance.

#29: "...but I trust the message will get through to Corporate America to knock off the indoctrination."

You have so much more faith than I - might I borrow some?

"Selling this garbage to kids has cost investors in the chain of stores $1 billion a day."

See, I don't believe that matters, to the shareholders that have the controlling interest - they are, to a person, idealogues, committed to the mission of transforming America - they believe that is why Target exists, not to make a profit.

When I lived in Chicago, I shopped at Meijer, instead of Target - if I thought it possible for Meijer to displace Target without succumbing to the same fate, I'd love to see the company reach such an economy of scale.

Thank you, brother Don! Now, I can get on with my Saturday!

Since people seem to be struggling with the poll, I thought I’d share my methodology for answering multiple choice questions.

1. Lay aside the all/none of the above answer.

2. Can you throw away any obviously incorrect answers? For me these are the CNN & Fox options. They fell so long ago as to be, imho, irrelevant.

3. With our two remaining answers, we ask ourselves, “Which is the *best* answer?” I honestly struggled with this one, but in the end my choice could be described as a political one. D: It might hurt the feelings of our greatest generation to laud the fall of an octogenarian. R: Let the free markets decide what the people want.

As a lifelong Republican, I confidently made Target my choice.

(All banter aside, this methodology is very close to how I teach children & adults to answer multiple choice questions. I learned this in my teacher education classes at UC Irvine & Cal State Long Beach.)

Thank you, Don! 🐐

Your experience sounds like it is of a time when colleges and universities actually taught, and bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees earned from such institutions meant something.

I had some great professors. It was long enough ago that they taught solid curriculum & before the complete progressive takeover of the education system. They were still trying to get a computer in every classroom!
