The women Trump has been appointing all seem to be long-haired blondes, in the Fox News pattern. Just for a change, I would like him to appoint Catherine Herridge to something, and maybe give her a pardon while he's at it.
Tusi Gabbard.
What does Catherine Herridge need a pardon for?
Tulsi
Catherine Herridge is appealing a contempt order in federal court for refusing to reveal a source. She is being fined $800 a day, with a threat of imprisonment.
Trump has already chosen Tulsi Gabbard to be Director of National Intelligence.
"Trump has already chosen Tulsi Gabbard to be Director of National Intelligence."
And she doesn't have long blonde hair.
Lori Chavez-Deremer, Labor Secretary, long black hair.
Brooke Rollins, Secretary of Agriculture, long black hair.
OK, so Rawdon Glover is the director of marketing for Jaguar... Take the space out of that name, maybe put a couple of spaces in it. Either that guy had very cruel parents, or ... IDK.
No sillier than choosing appointments solely on the basis of race, gender, or sexual preference.
"CNN Panel Laughs in Scott Jennings' Face as He Calls Trump’s Cabinet ‘Ideologically Diverse’"
Is it possible the CNN panel's understanding of the word "diversity" has narrowed to one or two categories?
Is it possible that biases do more damage than "mis and disinformation"?
Is also possible they don't know the views of the candidates for cabinet positions. Things may be worse than they seem.
What Europe is doing in Ukraine reminds me of the gabler who has lost is retirement savings at the casino, and is in the process of mortgaging his house to win it all back.
We have to send them more missiles because the Russians' shock and awe attack took out their missile and drone factory left over from the Soviet era and built in underground bunkers. According to the BBC, secondary explosions carried on for three hours, and eyewitness reports say that the area has been turned to dust. The footage of blown out windows and roofs blown off that the Ukrainians have been presenting as the extent of the damage were from buildings a long ways from the impact.
This is all due to decisions that the senile old man in the White House made, probably pressured into them as soon as the Europeans got the pliable old man out of DC, and away from the cooler heads in the Pentagon who actually understand war.
Europe has to win or it's totally forked, and it doesn't have any way to win short of winning a nuclear standoff that will carry a huge risk of killing half of the people on the planet, most of us in the Northern Hemisphere, probably. And the Brits are saying "Don't be afraid of nuclear war." We have heard that song, "Don't fear the reaper" But that was only "40,000 people every day," not 5 billion in the space of six horrific months.
And for what? Because the Ukrainians hate the Russians so much, they can't live with them? Well, Czechoslovakia showed the world how to peacefully handle a situation like that already.
Catherine Herridge went to CBS, and CBS fired her for reporting about the Hunter Biden laptop story.
Saw Gladiator II. Scored it a 7.
“What we do in life echos in eternity.” Maximus.
"Europe has to win or it's totally forked,"
Why? Say Trump negotiates a peace, and yes, Russia gets to keep some territory. How is Europe forked?

In this case she was revealing chinese sleeper agents in aerospace something we should know

So far the only blond women he's appointed are Pam Bondi as AG, Karoline Leavitt as Press Secretary and Linda MacMahon as Sec Ed. Tulsi, Kristy Noem, Janette Nesheiwat, Elise Stefanik and Lori Chavez-DeRemer all have dark hair. tcrosse needs to lay off the sauce.
Have I missed news regarding Michael K? I haven't seen him post for sometime.
Denzel could read a phone book with passion every one else seems to hsve phones it in
And Linda McMahon is hardly a long-haired blonde in the Fox News pattern.
Yes!
"tcrosse needs to lay off the sauce."
Oh, I bet some lefty news site published the claim as a slur and he just didn't think critically about it.

It's kinda nice to talk about something that's not DEFCON 2.
Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars hit one out of the park.
I couldn't find a link to an obituary in Tucson or Los Angeles. Maybe he's not feeling well.
Do I have to remind you guys that you just won a huge election. You got all three branches of government under the control of your lord and savior. You should try to enjoy it now and be happy because it's not going to last forever. Nothing ever does.
Thanks, Howard.
“Noem is a brunette.”
And she’s got her own personal gravel pit, should one say otherwise.
Tulsi Gabbard, DNI, Long Cool Woman.
Dat boy is a raw dogger!
He’s spending a wild weekend in Vegas with Inga… who lost teh bet.

From "alternative facts" to "alternative ways of assessing the federal budget," today's MAGA Republicans are really reinventing how we think about things.
Or lying. Maybe it's just lying.
It's too late for peace. Biden is making sure of that. I don't know if Trump thinks that all of this escalation is a good idea or not, but I do know this, Russia is done with the West, and without cheap resources from Russia, Europe is forked. Russia and China are half finished building a pipeline for natural gas, the Chinese have stepped in and taken the Russian car market from Germany and the rest of the European makers.
Personally, I am just hoping to live to see the inauguration without a nuclear. exchange taking place. The situation is getting more and more desperate for the leadership of Ukraine, and so everybody on that side is doing more desperate things.
Ridley Scott is dead to me.
Appointing = auditioning
"without cheap resources from Russia, Europe is forked."
Well, that's something I can agree with. Though, I don't see any Europe "winning" fixing that.
It really is shocking to see a developed society voluntarily devolve, which is what Europe is doing. We have elements here who are trying to do the same thing, though hopefully they are in abeyance for the sort term.
Russia tricking and trafficking Yeminis, Indians, Nepalese, Cubans, Syrians and Africans into dying in Ukraine in the meat waves.
Russians also have 10,000-12,000 North Koreans.
Is it just a matter of time before Iranian troops are fighting in Ukraine?
Or are they smart enough (and not poor enough) to not get duped into this?
Russian recruit sign on bonuses have been increased 10 times since the start of the war while they have stopped recruiting from St Peterburg and Moscow as funerals in a more populace space creates too much negative public sentiment.
But then we are told by the pro-Kremlin propagandists that they have no problem recruiting Russians into their ranks. Could it be they are lying to the world to make Russia appear stronger than it is No never. 😂
Stay the course, keep up the pressure on the Kremlin.
This is the most un-covered armed conflict since the invention of the printing press. Compared to the embedded press coverage that has been the norm since WWII and onward, this conflict by comparison has been a virtual press blackout. There is plenty of uninformed or poorly informed speculative podcast coverage though. The same is likely to be true when peace talks begin, although I hope not.
@Narr: Why is Ridley Scott 'dead' to you? He has several notable acheivements to his credit, and he's still creatively active at 87. Just curious.
"This is the most un-covered armed conflict since the invention of the printing press."
Interesting observation. The regime wants this war, so the press shoves it under the rug.
Ideologically diverse means 'Harris-Walz' to them. There's one - only ONE - acceptable belief system. To think of ANY other belief system is apostasy.
So they didn't bother looking at the views of those Trump supports - as far as they're concerned those people are lockstep goose-stepping clones of the Evil One. They're on the wrong side, their views emphatically do not matter.
And again, you confuse "Holy crap, we can't take any more of this - we'll vote for whoever has a different narrative and can enunciate a plan to get us out of this hole over the folks who think we need to dig deeper in the mire" with worship.
Maybe you worship your political 'stars' - but most of us are really tired of the deification of the worst of the Democratic party. And we voted against more of the same.
Well, it's the NYTimes.
So, yeah, lying.
From Aesop, we have the phrase "sour grapes". The fox made an effort to obtain the grapes, but could not reach them. Hastening away, he consoled himself with the thought that they were likely sour.
In the case of certain older feminists, I think we see the opposite situation, "sweet grapes". Having labored mightily since puberty for -- Hmmmmm -- whatever it is that they labored mightily for, they cannot allow themselves to admit that they wasted their lives -- the only lives they are going to have -- for, well. For these deliciously sweet grapes.
This observation is prompted by the bizarre spectacle of large numbers of American women who fairly clearly came of age in the 1960's and 1970's, shrieking defiance at those who would restrict the God-given right to abort babies. As these women are all clearly post-menopausal, one has to question why this "right" is so dear to them. And if you can get them to stop shrieking hysterically long enough, they will explain to you, that they struggled for the right, and they want to preserve it. For their daughters. And grand-daughters. And great-grand-daughters. All of whom must have the right to die without progeny, as they did.
He appointed a Democrat to head up Labor. Brunette. Fat.
She don't count. She's a Democrat.
Here's 'Jaq' again repeating claims he says were in the BBC but does not link to, that the Russian MRV missile "took out" a "missile and drone factory left over from the Soviet era and built in underground bunkers". Did it? I don't know and neither does 'Jaq', but there is reason to doubt it did any such thing. And secondary explosions might easily occur if they hit (e.g.) a gas station.*
Someone I follow on Twitter and have recommended here before for those who want to know what's going in in Ukraine is @wartranslated, an Estonian who lives in London and translates Russian social media. He reports (link) that "Russian bloggers", whom he quotes in Russian so you can check his translations, are noting "the alleged absence of damage to the Yuzhmash plant in Dnipro, which was attacked by the mega-missile 'Oreshnik,' something the so-called president of Russia has been boasting about for days". One of the replies asserts that the factory was built underground in Soviet days and fortified to withstand a nuclear blast, which sounds plausible. It's where the boosters for flights to the International Space Station were manufactured, when Russia was not yet at war with Ukraine. Could it really have been "taken out" by a missile that was not only not nuclear, it wasn't even explosive, just flinging inert payloads? I don't know, but even some Russians don't believe that.
By the way, Aggie, this war is indeed shamefully uncovered by the traditional news media, but that's just one more demonstration of how utterly useless, and worse than useless, harmful, they have become. It's very well-covered on Twitter, if you know where to look and (perhaps more important) where not to look - the liars and propagandists to avoid. Two relatively conservative but pro-Ukrainian Americans I've found particularly useful are @TrentTelenko (one of the Chicago Boyz) and @secretsqrl123. You can quickly find more by seeing whom they quote.

*In fact the Russians hit a Lowe's type home store in Karkhiv some months ago, killed more than a dozen innocent shoppers - it was a Saturday, so the store was full, as they knew it would be -, and tried to claim it was a military target. There were lots of secondary explosions, but you could see right on the security footage of the hit that the store had, as any Lowe's would, whole shelves of propane tanks, batteries, spray paint, and other flammable and explosive products. That was what caused the secondary explosions.
If they didn't have their daughters - then there's a slight problem with the grandkids.
The future belongs to those who show up for it.
This Howard. THIS!!
"For those of us raised on radio, President-Elect Donald Trump's victory feels like the 1980s all over again. What better way to celebrate Trump's victory than with a hilarious Democrat election montage set to a parody song of Journey's Who's Crying Now?"
https://x.com/miguelifornia/status/1856493511270338997?
It's hilarious, Wendy. I've been watching all sorts of podcasts of Democrat influencers trying to explain to each other why they failed. They still think that they just need to get their messaging right rather than to have a real concrete plan and be authentic to that plan. Like him or not, what appeals about Donald Trump is his genuine authenticity. The Democrats are still getting high smelling their own farts
I see you have come out of the closet too identify as a snowflake 🤣.
The world cannot be static scored, where lefties claim without evidence a tax cut will cost 82.46 billion. The world is dynamic. People respond to incentives. A rate cut forces changes in behavior and can create more taxable activity and therefore more revenue than the leftie calculated ‘cost’…
Howard, politics will ultimately fail us if we can't as a society learn some individual and personal humility. (And humility is best chosen voluntarily, because when Nemesis comes then humility is compelled.) But we make the best decision we can when it is time for us to vote.
We will accept all the help we can get…. Powerline just posted results of a local survey indicating 96% of respondents are behind the DOGE effort. If we can focus R and D kumbaya there, and results are genuinely impactful to the benefit of all of us, it will be truly uniting.
You don't seem very well informed ' Dr Weevil"
"On Thursday, the Ukrainian city of Dnipro was hit by a Russian air strike which eyewitnesses described as unusual, triggering explosions that went on for three hours." - https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg07zw9vj1o
As for Rich, have you seen any actual evidence of North Koreans in battle? I have been led to two primary sources, one was a supposed surrendering 'Russian soldier' who said that he surrendered because the North Koreans were shooting in the wrong direction, and he thought that he was going to be killed. Or something like that, most Ukrainians speak fluent Russian and a large number of them speak it as a first language, so that would be easily faked.
The second primary source was drone video of a terrified soldier who was about to be killed, and supposedly the Ukrainians could tell with certainty that he was North Korean, even though North Korea is on the border of Russia, and they have ethnic groups that look like North Koreans.
Even Ukrainian sources are starting to admit that it was all a ploy to get permission to use missiles in Russia proper. I would not be surprised if North Korea, and even China, has combat observers, it's a time honored tradition.
"In fact the Russians hit a Lowe's type home store in Karkhiv some months ago"
The Ukrainians hit a popular bakery in Donets City, where people were lined up to buy the days bread, with US supplied HIMARS, and then did a double tap. The Ukrainians claimed that it was supplying food to the Russians. It probably was, a large number of Russian fighters come from volunteer militias in that area, who have been fighting against Kiev for a decade.
One thing that has stopped happening is that the Russians have apparently stopped shelling their own allied populations in Donets City, or at least that is what the Ukrainians claimed was happening. Interestingly, they stopped shelling their own civilians at exactly the time that Ukrainian artillery was driven out of range by the Russians.
Ukrainians are still claiming that the Russians are shelling a nuclear power plant that is in their control too. Those crazy Russians! Always shooting at themselves!
Ukrainian propaganda is so childishly ridiculous that only a fool like Rich could believe it.
By the way, the Russians consider Kharkiv a Russian city, like Donets city, and while shit happens, they are not going to bomb their own civilians intentionally, any more than they were shelling what they consider their own civilians in Donets, or are shelling what they consider their own nuclear power plant.
And from the reviews, it appears Gladiator's echo resulted in a lightly changed remake. Kind of like The Force Arises was to the original Star Wars.
Russia sends Yemeni mercenaries to fight in Ukraine after they were ‘tricked’ into signing up for war by Iran-backed Houthis ~ NYP
https://nypost.com/2024/11/24/world-news/russia-recruits-yemeni-men-tricked-by-houthi-linked-company-report/
The one thing I would never have thought Russia would have a problem with is finding more cannon fodder with its huge population.
However, if Putin is looking abroad for soldiers and effectively duping people into serving in the Russian army, then clearly they are struggling to replace their losses. The Russian casualties must be far worse than are being publicly acknowledged.
Rich, in war, artillery kills the most soldiers. Russia has a massive advantage in artillery, and is dropping guided 3 ton bombs on Ukrainian fortified positions, and Ukraine has no way to shoot them down. The only sources that we have for these desperate recruiting problems is Ukraine, and probably because Ukraine has a desperate recruiting problem. Just like with most of your posts, Ukrainian propaganda relies heavily on projection. Russia doesn't even draft Russian speakers from Donbas or Crimea, they are exempt. It doesn't sound like the act of a desperate power to me.
Well, Trump said he would end the war in 24 hours, so nothing to worry about here.
I want somebody to ask Noem about that dog homicide. "Why did you shoot your dog?" Homeland Security my ass. What do you know about guarding a home? Nothing!
That laughter is ignorant. His labor secretary is pro-union and his HHS pick is pro-choice. And his pick for DNI, Gabbard was a Democratic nominee for president four years ago. He's got way more liberals and moderates in his cabinet than your average Republican would have. His cabinet is way more diverse than any CNN panel.
Well, Matt Gaetz has short, black, sort of strange hair. They chased him out, so blonde it is. Which is OK by me.
RFK Jr. is highly ideologically diverse all by himself.
I was hoping you got a shot of the sunset last night. The most magnificent I have ever seen.
A couple of horrible nominations
I want somebody to ask Noem about that dog homicide. "Why did you shoot your dog?" Homeland Security my ass. What do you know about guarding a home?
Ok, I didn't love that story. But... and ok again, I know it's risky to ascribe human characteristics to animals, even very domesticated ones that have coevolved (to an extent) with humans the way dogs have, but there are human psychopaths who are (as far as it's valid to say about any human being) irredeemable. If they are the kind of psycho who kills, they cannot be rehabilitated - given the opportunity, they will just go on killing until they themselves are dead. Is it possible that this can also be true of a dog? That no matter how good a dog trainer you have, you won't be able to control a particular dog's dangerous aggression?
I know that my dog trainer characterizes my dog as aggressive - "passive aggressive," she says, and advises me not to trust her completely, but rather always to be paying attention to her reaction to (especially) other dogs, but not trivially, also to people. My dog appears to be submissive and anxious to please, but if you tell her "no" about something she really wants to do, she bares her teeth (while wiggling and wagging her tail frantically). No matter what we try with her, that behavior doesn't budge. She's leash aggressive and gets very nervous around small children, and these behaviors appear only to be somewhat modifiable - for instance, she knows now that when we encounter another dog while walking, we "pull over" and she lies down until the other dog passes - but fortunately she lives a life where I can modify MY behavior to accommodate these problems.
But if she were actively human-aggressive and I lived on a farm or ranch where it wouldn't be practical to leash her all the time, might it not be safer for the other humans in the area and for livestock if I put her down?
No, Howard… just noting your activities at the YMCA appear to be improving your disposition. I’d even wager you’ve overcome the foaming at teh mouth thing.
It was a different war when he said that, but I know cheap shots is all you guys have; the situation was still salvageable for Ukraine on terms that Europe would accept.
"....podcasts of Democrat influencers trying to explain to each other why they failed. They still think that they just need to get their messaging right...."
Yes, well I guess they're saying: 'but, but, but real socialist tyranny hasn't ackshually been tried yet ! ! "
"DPRK soldiers have already taken part in battles with the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region. They were disguised as the indigenous population of the Far East " – Chief of the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Bargilevich
LOL. Those populations are subject to the draft, and draftees can be used on Russian territory by Russian law. Not to mention that they can volunteer if they want to fight the "Western Imperialists."
This is what they call "proof" that there are Norks in the battle.
That’s the end result every time cuts have been employed, rehajm.
Gaetz, like FBI director Wray, suffers from RWF.
Resting weasel face.
Scott took one of the great stories in all of history (Napoleon's) and injected his own ignorance and obsessions into it. I don't deny he has skills, but when he just makes shit up while ignoring what is known, he loses me.
'Jaq' thinks (maybe not quite the right word) that one story in the BBC proves that the Russian ballistic missile strike "took out" a huge fortified underground arms factory in Dnipro, ignoring the evidence I have offered on the other side. At the same time, 'Jaq' insists there is no evidence whatsoever that North Korean troops are fighting in Ukraine or Kursk. It means nothing to him that if you DuckDuckGo "North Koreans killed in Ukraine" you get stories from CNN, Newsweek, France 24, Deutsche Welle, a couple of east Asian sites, and, yes, the BBC on the first page of results. The last is titled "What we know about North Korean troops in Ukraine". There is far more evidence of North Koreans in combat in Ukraine than there is of any significant damage to the armaments plant in Dnipro. Yet 'Jaq' insists that the one if fact, the other fiction.
Dickhead seems to have a problem with blatant double standards.
Here's another in a long line of them: he insists that Krushchev was really Ukrainian, though born in Russia of Russian ancestry, while the people of Kharkiv are really Russians, though they are in fact patriotic Ukrainians. Here the border between Russia and Ukraine moves back and forth for the rhetorical convenience of dickhead 'Jaq'.
And of course he lies as usual, insisting (5:16am) that they would never bomb civilians in Kharkiv, though they do just that every night, as in the example I gave where they hit a Lowe's-type store on a Saturday, when it was packed with people buying stuff to repair the damage of the previous week's bombing. And Russian propaganda TV doesn't deny even deny it: they gloat about slaughtering civilians as if it were something admirable.
Finally, why was someone who claims to live in Vermont posting at 5:16am? He does that a lot. Was it in fact 3:16pm where he was typing his lies, and was he 'on the clock'?
Iman ... heh.
Denial ain't just a river in Egypt, it is the longest river in the world, and right now it's full of Ukrainians swimming upstream.
As far as media stories go, they simply take Kiev's word for whatever they say. If you have one of those stories that is not sourced to Ukrainian authorities, or one of the two incidents that I reported, but is independently sourced, I will look at it. Haven't we seen enough lies from the media about Trump to know that they print what they are told to print?
You sound just like the anti Trump commenters here who would just refer to media stories that "proved" that what they were saying is right, that Trump's convictions all come from genuine lawbreaking as it's been understood since the founding of the republic. And sure, they all said it. They were all lying, just like the "50 intelligence professionals" who said that Hunter Biden's laptop was "Russian disinformation."
I have been posting since the Gulf War, which I supported at the time, believe it or not. The idea that I get paid to post the stuff I post is laughable. Why do you think that? Do you get paid? A lot of times accusations are confessions. Just saying.
An honest man, asked to explain why he's commenting at 5:16am, would say something about insomnia, or working the night shift on a job with frequent slack times for web-surfing, or being a tourist in a different time zone. 'Jaq' is not an honest man.
He is, at best, a tankie and Stalinist asshole, who is either too stupid or (more likely) too crooked to admit that he's been caught applying blatantly obvious double standards that always always somehow exonerate the Russians even from crimes and horrors they don't deny themselves! They openly brag about slaughtering civilians, and he pretends they don't.
As for "I have been posting since the Gulf War", has he? Didn't 'Jaq' just appear a month or two ago? I'm pretty sure it's just a new name for 'tim in vermont', but if 'Jaq' wants to convince us he's a long-time commenter, he should maybe stick to a single pseudonym, as I have, or at least give use a list of pseudonyms he's used.
Just as "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar", sometimes an accusation is just an accusation. Any moron should be able to see that I think 'Jaq' might be getting paid because everything he writes aligns perfectly with Russian propaganda - no exceptions, ever, so if he's not getting paid he's missing some easy money. I suspect there are people in Moscow laughing at him for providing slavish services that they normally have to pay for, and doing it for free. Assuming of course he's telling the truth about not being paid, after lying about everything else concerning Ukraine and Russia.
My opinions, on the other hand, align for the most part with the relatively small (but smarter-than-average) faction of people who support Trump, Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, all of them obviously preferable to the alternatives. Other members include Thomas Wictor, Saul Montes Bradley, and the rest of the Quod Verum crowd, several of the posters at InstaPundit, and lots of sensible people who are not on-line, plus some here.
