I have lived a fairly privileged life. But someone making $1 Million a year is so outside my daily experience. On top of that to complain about taxes on the million and first dollar and beyond? I mean, these captains of industry have to have their pet legislators pull an all nighter to try to stop a tax on dollar one-million and one that year. Just pathetic. If you’re making that money, the state has been very good to you. Show some goddam appreciation.
Anyway, this is my last post before the end of the session, so your last reminder to contact your legislator.
Imagine CNN after Bari Weiss assumes control.
Gavin Newsom’s presidential aspirations are toast.

@1
yeah, you’ll find no fraud in Mississippi. Right?
How about the fraud in the current White House? Not your concern? Well, many others might be more concerned.

From what I read, in Mississippi the teachers are too busy improving student reading and math scores to engage in fraud.
Yes, do read more, G-clown.
And after you are done reading, you can ask about fraud in the schools in places like D.C. and Baltimore.
Oh, and if you want to know what to look for, maybe read up on the fraud in Atlanta schools:
Since a certain failed former attorney and perpetual useless, bloviating fool did not believe me when I referred to the US role as that of “reinsurance” in the backstopping of Strait of Hormuz shipping insurance, here is CNBC once again describing the US role as reinsurance:
To assist said failed former attorney and perpetual useless, bloviating fool, here is a description of the DFC:

For additional reference, here is another Greenberg photo of candidate McCain similar to that chosen for its cover by The Atlantic.
It was controversial at the time, as it demonstrated the permanently enlarged jaw and other facial distortions McCain received courtesy of his North Vietnamese hosts during the five-plus years he spent as their guest of honor. The photo underscored the age vs. beauty aspect of the 2008 general presidential campaign race.
Today I think it was fair, although provocative. In 2008 it was a dirty trick, but in 2008 every Democrat candidate and half of the Republican candidates weren’t using the F-word to make the simplest of points. The definition of fair has changed.
Perhaps Railfan can tell us what he thinks of delays to Seattle’s transit projects necessitate by the expense of all of those anti-ICE signs that taxpayers have paid for. Was it worth it?
Seattle may have to ‘delay or defer’ transportation projects to pay for anti-ICE signs
Which Jayapal-supporting Seattle liberal will be stabbed by a derelict because security funding was cut at stations because those stations needed to have anti-ICE signs installed?
Good and hard, Seattle voters deserve what they get.
Guess who just realized that very soon she will have to answer to Bari Weiss?

Sometimes liberals need to be just a bit more dishonest than usual in order to take down a black woman on their own team:

A: Nothing. They told her twice already.
Jasmine Crockett’s two black eyes were obtained by being told, twice. Once by Talarico, and once by Colbert.

Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz leaves Seattle as local lawmakers mull millionaire tax
The Schultz Family Foundation will remain in Seattle. Probably because the write-offs are better here, and all of those baristas who lost jobs when the Seattle Starbucks locations closed can apply for NGO jobs funded by the Foundation.
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me, I was $93 billion under budget at the end of the fiscal year and you ordered lobster and ribeyes.
Trump will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.
@ 18
… you ordered lobster and ribeyes.
And then I missed my daughter’s birthday and got shot at, while serving my country. Then I turned on my iPad and learned that liberals wanted me to eat only MREs.

$12 billion on 23 state of the art, 21st century littoral combat ships and this lying shitpost troll wants you to accept him as your authority on… (checking notes)…

What a fucking stupid thing to post repeatedly.
If the SecNav goes on public record saying the Strait of Hormuz is too hot for him to risk a single one of his brand new LCS ships how the fuck would The Good Hands people do jack shit to reassure oil tankers?
Our troll is approaching peak cult dumbfuckery.
If the USN is unable to secure the Strait of Hormuz by force of arms it can’t be secured by force of arms.
Katie Porter is an awful human being and fortunately for all of us the Emerson polling of the CA Democrat primary reflects that.

It was proposed to do exactly the thing President Grandpa desperately needs it to do right now. But instead it’s 11,300 nautical miles away. Assholes like the lying troll can say anything.
But ship movements speak their own truth.
The USN has zero credible plan to secure the Strait. Other than a fucking TRUMP boat parade.
@1 Why is it up to journalists to find this? Isn’t the government supposed to monitor its programs, to make sure taxpayer money is properly spent? Oh, that’s right, Elon fired all the watchdogs to save pennies. Well, you know the old saying, “penny-wise, pound-foolish.”
@6 Mississippi has teachers?
Trump has sold out America to the Zionists.
@7 I understand the Trump administration has put the risk of destroyed oil tankers on taxpayers. What else is there to understand? Just another cost of this optional war.
What it demonstrates is that the world’s fossil fuel dependence is heavily subsidized by governments, most of all by ours, meaning U.S. taxpayers. Of course, the military costs of protecting access to Persian Gulf oil is part of that huge subsidy, too.
When everything is figured in, the gas you buy at the pump probably is being subsidized by several dollars a gallon. That’s money that can’t be used for health care, child care, food assistance, disaster relief, and other things that help the Americans who pay those taxes. Instead, it’s spent on foreign wars. America can’t electrify fast enough to suit me.
The Wall Street Journal found that, in February 2025, the units most affected by DOGE contract terminations were: USAID, Health and Human Services (HHS), Social Security Administration (SSA), the Department of Education (Ed), and General Services Administration (GSA).

@16 Taking your story at face value (there’s actually a little more to it, see below), the best face you can put on it is that media figures and Democratic politicians now have to worry about being censored as a result of this administration pressuring media outlets on matters that ought to be protected by the First Amendment.

@30 If the USN is unable to secure the Strait of Hormuz by force of arms, it sure can’t be secured by reinsurance.
@31 Are you willing to admit that Donald John Trump, who you voted for three times, is an even worse human being?

What is that, exactly? It can shoot down Iranian planes? There are none left.
It can shoot at Iranian ships? There are none left.
The Iranian ships and planes were destroyed by military entities not named USS Savannah.

The point is Trump is loyal to the Zionists who own him. He’s not alone in our government.
These sycophants are not loyal to the United States: they’re loyal to Zionism because Zionists line the toadies’ pockets with plenty of ca$h.
@51 What is that, exactly? It can shoot down Iranian planes? There are none left. It can shoot at Iranian ships? There are none left.
They were bait. So are Iran’s older (c. 2012) missiles and drones. They’re saving the good stuff for after Israel and the U.S. run out of interceptors.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want Iran to win, or the new ayatollah to keep the helpless Iranian people under his thumb. Now that this war has been launched, I just wish someone smarter than Trump and Whiskey Pete were running strategy and tactics on our side. But if things really go to hell, Bibi can use his nuclear weapons …
53 “after Israel and the U.S. run out of interceptors.”
And that should happen in a short period of time.
The zionists, oh. How about the evangelicals and whie supremicists? You’re ok with them and not the zionists? He sold out America to money and the rich. It wasn’t effecting you early on but now it is so you’re starting to care. Well, too late. You’ve been suckered to think you are special, and your not.
@54 Also worth noting, Israel has imposed heavy censorship on reporting of missile strikes, casualties, and damage in Israel “for security reasons.” Which means Iranian missiles are getting through to targets in Israel.
Am I celebrating this? Hell no, I don’t want any of this. I wish this war didn’t happen, but it wasn’t up to me. MAGA voters did this, and the Whidbee dumbfuck is one of ’em.

It’s a super tanker burning in Basrah you completely brainless fucking cult knob.
If the strait is not safe enough for $500 million nimble U.S. Navy vessels designed to fight naval surface and close combat missions near land then it isn’t safe for oil tankers that need an hour to turn ten degrees and a half day to reverse course.

With Royal Assent a formality(Like Charles III would go against Parliament, didn’t work out to well for Charles I), 700 years of tradition of Hereditary Peers will be coming to an end in the Spring. Since it took nearly 30 years from limiting the number to under a 100 to elimination, the next plans to modernize the House of Lords, possibly an elected body, will be awhile. Ironically to fill vacancies among Heriditaries, an election was used, but only among the Lords.

It’s a super tanker burning in Basrah…
A mere 600 miles from the Strait of Hormuz.
The only thing the USS Savannah does that is anything special is move at 50 knots when needed. That’s still not fast enough to catch a drone.
There is no specific need for the USS Savannah to be in the Persian Gulf. And if it’s in the Strait of Hormuz it’s not going to stop a ship in Iraq from getting hit, is it?
How many times in this thread has a certain failed former attorney and perpetual useless, bloviating fool felt compelled to claim that he does not want the US and Israel to lose?

@70 It’s safe to say Trump underestimated Iran, like he underestimates everything else.
Unconditional surrender in a week … they’re laughing in Tehran.
70 – Do you think Trump’s ultimate goal is to arrange affairs so that he and his family can increase their wealth? Is all of this shit a ruse to get Trump’s supporters to go along with this crazy Iran war?

President Grandpa is unable to secure the Strait. And that vertical line on daily average gas price will stay for now.

Yet another way in which patriotic Americans differ with President Grandpa and his lost and disoriented cult of dumbshits.
600 miles inside.
Proving quite effectively that gulf producers can’t pump and store, and wait for President Grandpa to come up with a plan.
Here’s something else the stupid cult idiots and their doddering leader are obviously ignorant of:
You can’t turn off production platforms.
Even brief shutdowns cause damage to wells and reduce capacity. Long term shutdown means you probably lose the well.

Remember how the Justice department started a price fixing investigation against Live Nation during the Biden administration. And remember when the trial started venue owners testified that when they tried to use a local ticket broker Live Nation cancelled touring acts they controlled. And remember how before the defense got the case a letter was sent to the Judge without the lead prosecutor’s knowledge that a settlement was reached and the case was dropped?
$1m to a Trump connected lobbyist and half a mil to the ballroom bought live nation out of the anti-trust case that could have broken it up.
@79 No, no, you’ve got it all wrong! Higher gas prices are good for all of you! But especially those of us who own oil stocks.
