That could be a tough call after what rumpy did with COVID...

But, I admit rumpy isn't in rumpy's cabinet.

Gee, I wonder who this "he" you are talking about is? 😕

Obviously, he has forgotten that the fourth dimension is time, which is not on his side. 🙄

"Yo, ho, ho! A pirate's life for me!" A ballad from the 70s, when pirating software was a way of life. Not that I ever did that, of course. 😇

It's what it feels like to live in the USA, too.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).

Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.

And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.

Remember this.

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.

Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.

But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.

Trickle down hoax.

I'm not surprised. I used to teach Computer Science at Cal State Hayward. In a class of 35, I might have 5 women. I might give 4 As, and 2 or 3 would go to women. They were better prepared and more disciplined than most of the men.

Ever wonder why every newspaper in the USA puts its astrology column on the comics page? 🤔

Pope Leo isn’t backing down in the face of Trump's threats.

Praise the Lord.

I'm an atheist, and I like this Pope.

Paranoid freak-out, excessive drinking: Report describes erratic Kash Patel leading FBI YouTube video by MS NOW

An absolute *must watch* and re-post.

Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

Péter Magyar, who unseated Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán Sunday in a landslide, shared a bombshell with reporters that the outgoing leader had diverted taxpayer funds to bankroll the American Conservative Political Action Conference. trib.al/ct7GGV3

The American gestapo abducted an 85 year-old widow.

Was she one of the worst of the worst? No, her step-son, a retired Alabama state trooper, got ICE to put her in a detention center to deport her because he wanted all of his father's inheritance.

Sounds like the son is the worst of the worst.

Trump’s Ballroom Corruption Exposed Is this the most corrupt thing a president has ever done?

At a $400M price tag funded by corporate donors, it's one of the most corrupt things a president has ever done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nbf6BJzpk1E

Big corporations are using your personal data and AI to charge you more for food, while they rake in record profits.

Missouri town fires half its city council over data center deal Residents of a St. Louis suburb turned out in droves to unseat four incumbents just days after the council approved a development agreement for a $6 billion data center.

Way to go, Festus. This is Trump country, BTW.

The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks.

The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.

It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

Your 'moment of doom' for Apr. 16, 2026 ~ a hard wind

"... we now need a 'Category 6' rating for hurricanes with winds of 193 mph (311 km/h) or greater, because global warming is expected to cause significant increases in maximum potential intensity."

Thanks for letting us know. I wondered what was causing the delays.

Based on statistics that he just made up...

Well, apparently, it can kill grass. Therefore, it must kill cancer cells. 🙄😬

While death and destruction rained down on Iran during the war’s first month, the world’s 100 biggest oil and gas companies brought in an extra $30 million per HOUR in windfall profits.

Yes, $30 million per HOUR.

Yep...
