If you own a TV station, need a meteorologist and don't like Nazis,  Sam Kuffel  is now at liberty (as actors used to say).  She criticized Elon Musk's Nazi salute and was fired by CBS58 in Milwaukee.  Even at the local level, even in weather forecasting, gutlessness prevails. Check your Leader feed for overnight rants, where the real governing takes place.  Reacting to news of mass layoffs at CNN (trying to be Fox Lite has resulted only in repelling viewers), the Leader explained, "MSDNC [his clever epithet for MSNBC] is even worse than CNN.  They shouldn't have a right to broadcast -- Only in America!"  A call to revoke their nonexistent broadcast license will undoubtedly follow.  And after Scarborough and Brzezinski stood barefoot in the snow -- no, sorry, that was a different penitent. That was  King Henry II of England, who supposedly asked his knights to rid him of the "turbulent priest" Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury.  F...

 Who's annoying Trumpelthinskin today? The ratings are in from the venerable and non-partisan  Nielsen  company.  On CBS, NBC and ABC, 26.05 million people watched the inauguration, a 32-percent drop from the last two.  And it was a national holiday, so a lot of people were home.  So sad.  Time for James Comer and his Comettes to launch one of their investigations.  Time for the courtiers to insist that billions watched on other platforms, if they know what's good for them. The Leader was back at the National Cathedral for a National Prayer Service yesterday and despite his having been "saved by God" he let someone else lead it.  It's a decision he must regret because  Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde  did not hold back, asking mercy for gay, lesbian and transgender children as well as "the people who pick our crops...who labor in poultry farms and meat-packing plants and work the night shifts in hospitals."  From an Episcopalian, th...

  One picture says it all.  Is this what the 77 million voted for?  And are you going to believe the Anti-Defamation League or your own lying eyes? An "awkward gesture"?  "A bit of grace"?  "People are on edge"?  This is the ADL, whose mission statement is "to stop the defamation of the Jewish people," not "can't we all just get along?"   In 2022  Admiral Linda Fagan  became the first woman to head the US Coast Guard, and yesterday she was dismissed.  No one will say exactly why, but she's accused of investigating sexual assault cases too vigorously, failing to secure the borders and you guessed it, too much DEI.  Her biography has already been scrubbed from the Coast Guard website.  Others honored with "YOU'RE FIRED!" were Jose Andres (President's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition), Mark Milley (National Infrastructure Advisory Council), Brian Hook (Wilson Center for Scholars) and Keisha Lance Bottoms (...

  Made it, Ma!  Top of the --- oh, shit. In what we can only hope is a presage of things to come, another Space X billion-dollar firecracker experienced a "rapid unscheduled disassembly" deep in the heart of Texas.  A lot of that flaming crap is Your Tax Dollars at Work, but in the US of Oligarchy does it really matter?  Mi dinero es su dinero. It's not just the rocketry business that's failing on stinky old Joe Biden's watch.  Did you know that Hollywood is in trouble?  Neither did it, but it must be so.  Look: You thought the studios were raking it in with woke talkies like Barbie and Wicked, you deluded libtard.  Yet Foreign Countries have film industries of their own and their product is pouring across the border  tariff free.  Why hasn't Biden stopped this outrage?  Isn't that the president's job?  If we're lucky it's the shiny thing that will distract the Leader for the next four years or until the angels come for him....

Since the ceasefire was announced, Israeli air strikes have killed 81 people and injured almost 200, according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa.  Ministers  Smotrich and Ben-Gvir,  who make Netanyahu look conciliatory, appear to be the stumbling blocks.  So the slaughter continues. Some wars take longer to conclude than the fighting itself.  More than 100,000 Poles were massacred between 1943 and 1945 by Ukrainian nationalists under the leadership of Nazi occupiers.  Now President Zelenskyy and Prime Minister Tusk have reached an agreement to allow the exhumation of Poles who died in what is known as the  Volhynia massacre .  Poland has been a strong ally of Ukraine during the Russian invasion and this can only bring them closer.  Nobody in Poland wants to be next on Putin's wish list, especially with NATO suddenly looking vulnerable to the whims of Putin's American puppet.  Perhaps in the same spirit UK Prime Minister Starmer visited...
