Greetings

Jimmy Kimmel used the “As I was Saying” line in tribute to Jack Parr the original late night talk show host when Parr came back on the air after he had “retired”.

Combined YouTube views for Charlie Kirk’s memorial between Fox and Turning Point USA: 6.9 million.

Jimmy Kimmel show views: 19 million and counting.
Don’t let them ever convince you that they are a majority.

Liberalism, fairness and justice are still far more popular in the US and around the world.

Yes… @PeteHegseth really quote tweeted that….they’re not even hiding it
July 1935 German generals were called to a surprise assembly in Berlin and informed that their previous oath to the Weimar constitution was void and that they would be required to swear a personal oath to the Führer. Most generals took the new oath to keep their positions.

Hitler ordered all German military personnel to swear an oath of personal loyalty to him as the Führer, or leader, of the German Reich — a crucial step in cementing his control over the armed forces and removing them from their traditional loyalty to the state and constitution.

“Navalny’s warning is devastating. Tyranny just requires mass acquiescence or simply indifference. When people stare down at the table and say nothing–instead of speaking out–a tyrant can lock up critics and destroy a nation’s institutions with ease.” READ: Why are you staring at the table?

This is, without any exaggeration, exactly how Putin and Orbán proceeded — using antisemitism to discredit the idea of civil society and political opposition, and as an excuse to undo the rule of law.

Hey MAGA, Trump is sending $20 Billion to Argentina because it seems Milei’s cuts to government are decimating their economy.
Peter Thiel IS the Antichrist.
The same cuts Elon and Donnie supported and thrust on America. Too bad the New York Times doesn’t have anyone covering the tech billionaire beat. This outbreak of globe-trotting apocalyptic fanaticism by a tech figure so deeply influential in US politics seems kind of newsworthy. The international press is tearing into Peter Thiel’s Antichrist fixation. Not lookin’ good for Gollum.

BREAKING: Starbucks just announced a $1 billion restructuring and will close 59 unionized stores — nearly 10% of union locations. Brian Niccol is absolutely vile.

Trump just announced a 100% tariff on pharmaceutical products, which is going to be a fucking disaster for tens of millions of Americans—especially seniors. Stupid policy.

They still haven’t released the Epstein Files and the media is still talking about an escalator.

Data centers get discounts—homeowners foot the bill
OpenAI plans to build data centers that require 10 gigawatts of power — which is about as much as all of New York City.
Billionaires pushing AI on us are getting free rein to use up as much power as entire cities, poison air and water, and get six-figure tax cuts to go and make more money.
The rest of us get higher utility bills despite our usage hardly changing.
That’s a rigged economy.

AlterNet described the Republican National Committee (RNC) which Priebus chaired as a “wholly owned subsidiary of the Koch’s Americans for Prosperity.” Priebus worked closely with the Wisconsin chapter of Americans for Prosperity #KochNetwork
So Trump wants to investigate George Soros. That will be a dead end, but I look forward to Dems investigating the Koch Brothers, Elon Musk, Heritage Foundation, Federalist Society, Miriam Adelson, and with any real courage AIPAC.

When Donald Trump took office eight months ago, the Department of Justice had 36 experienced attorneys assigned full-time to investigate corrupt politicians and police officers.

James Fishback @j_fishback
In federal court, Jerome Powell’s taxpayer-funded lawyers told a judge the American people have “no legal right” to know what the Fed is doing in real time. Imagine our Founders hearing that—sitting next to my parents in court—watching unelected, unaccountable bankers make life-altering decisions in secret, then calling us the bad guys for demanding they follow the law and open the doors to the public.
We won today by exposing their secrecy scam. Now we’re weighing our next legal steps—not just for Azoria, but for every American who deserves better than these scoundrels who think we have no right to know what they’re up to.
A U.S. District Court judge on Monday rejected a legal bid by an investment
fund to force the Federal Reserve to open to the public a meeting on setting
interest rates this week.
The ruling found that the Federal Open Market Committee is not a
government agency subject to the federal “Sunshine Act” requiring open
meetings, despite claims to the contrary in a lawsuit filed by Azoria Capital.

For those confused about the lies this administration is telling now on the coming shutdown, let me get personal. I have been self-employed for decades and I have preexisting medical conditions. My only option for healthcare is through Obamacare. Without the subsidies that will be cut, I will be directly affected, and my health care costs will sky rocket. I am not an illegal immigrant; I am an American Citizen born and raised here. When @JDVance and others say this is only about healthcare for illegal immigrants, they are lying to you. I am a well known American Citizen who truly has no idea what he will do for healthcare next year.

Thank you to the Democrats who are fighting for Americans like me, like you, and like the many family members and friends that you love. Thank you to the Democratic leadership on this that tried everything to do this the right way and tried to meet with the President only to have him cancel.

I will figure out my personal situation and I am not looking for sympathy. I am truly worried about the millions of American citizens who are going to be devastated by this change.

This administration is working overtime to make America less healthy. Why?

Empress Alexandra was one of her granddaughters, and the uncle of Tsar Nicholas II was married to one of her daughters, so the family ties between the Romanov family and the English queen were pretty strong. Both Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra referred to the English queen as “granny” or “grandmamma”.

Peaky Blinders were Real <peaky means looking sickley, pale, thin, starving>
The Peaky Blinders were a criminal gang based in Birmingham, England, during the great war. The name Peaky Blinders is popularly said to be derived from a practice of stitching razor blades into the peak of their flat caps, which could then be used as weapons, but actually appears to be describing a combination of their peaked caps and stylish clothing.

History of the board game Monopoly

The Landlord’s Game

Graphic design of Game of the American 1%

Rich Uncle Pennybags the mascot of the game Monopoly

In 1902 to 1903, Magie designed the game^[2] and play tested it in Arden, Delaware.^[3]

The game was created to be a “practical demonstration of the present system of land grabbing with all its usual outcomes and consequences”.

She based the game on the economic principles of Georgism, a system proposed by Henry George, with the object of demonstrating how rents enrich property owners and impoverish tenants.

She knew that some people could find it hard to understand why this happened and what might be done about it, and she thought that if Georgist ideas were put into the concrete form of a game, they might be easier to demonstrate.

Magie also hoped that when played by children the game would provoke their natural suspicion of unfairness, and that they might carry this awareness into adulthood.^[3]^[4]

The Landlord’s Game has some similarities to the basic rules of the board game Zohn Ahl, played by the Kiowa Indians of North America.

There are hints that suggest Elizabeth Magie might have known Zohn Ahl and incorporated some of the game’s ideas.^[5]

In 1903, Magie filed for a patent on the game^[3] which was granted in 1904. Magie and other fellow Georgists formed a company,

Economic Game Company, in 1906 New York to publish the game. Besides Magie, the incorporators were E. H. Monroe of Chicago and E. G. Lenbusher of New York. Magie approached c to publish this and one other game in 1909.

United States Falls Deeper Into Corrupt Nation Status By Pam Martens: January 29, 2019
The U.S. is no longer in the top 10, or even the top 20, of least corrupt nations. Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index for 2018 was released today and the United States has fallen four points deeper into corruption than last year. The U.S. now ranks below Luxembourg, Estonia and France, coming in at number 22 on the chart. In the Americas region, only Canada came in among the top 10 least corrupt nations, earning a number 9 ranking. (View the full list here.) Zoe Reiter, Acting Representative to the U.S. at Transparency International said this about the report: “A four point drop in the CPI score is a red flag and comes at a time when the US is experiencing threats to its system of checks and balances, as well as an erosion of ethical norms at the highest levels of power. If this trend continues, it would indicate a serious corruption problem in a country that has taken a lead on the issue globally. This is a bipartisan issue that requires a bipartisan solution.”

Senator Bernie Sanders Should Be Taken Very Seriously as a Presidential Candidate
By Pam Martens: February 21, 2019 ~

On Tuesday, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont declared his candidacy to seek the Democratic nomination for President of the United States.

Wall Street On Paradeendorsed Senator Sanders over Hillary Clinton in 2016because Clinton was effectively running as Wall Street’s candidate and as Obama’s third term. Unfortunately, eight years of Obama had produced zero criminal prosecutions of the executives of the largest Wall Street banks who had brought the country to its knees as they grew obscenely rich from corrupt, cartel behavior at their banks. Obama also seriously misinformed the American people about how little had changed in terms of reining in the risks on Wall Street. Obama also refused to provide a bully pulpit for breaking up the dangerous Wall Street banks by restoring the Glass-Steagall Act.

GOP Pence attacks ‘socialism’

Mike Pence Secures the No Law Zone Around Wall Street By Pam Martens and Russ Martens: October 25, 2017 Millions of Americans have quietly been pondering for months what a President Mike Pence would be like should Donald Trump be impeached or resign. Yesterday they found out and it’s not a pretty picture. After the U.S. Senate tied 50-50 on a vote yesterday, Vice President Mike Pence cast the deciding vote to keep the nation’s courthouse doors closed to the customers of the Too-Big-to-Fail banks on Wall Street – effectively strengthening the no law zone that already exists for these banks. The vote came about as a result of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) issuing its final rule in July which would allow consumers who have been defrauded in financial transactions involving credit cards and bank accounts to have access to file a group action (known legally as a “class action”) using the nation’s courts.

Senator Bernie Sanders’ Banking Bill and the Kavanaugh Confirmation By Pam Martens and Russ Martens: October 8, 2018

Last week when Senator Bernie Sanders introduced a new banking bill to break up the mega banks on Wall Street, he had this to say: “In our nation today, we are moving toward an oligarchic form of society where a small number of very wealthy individuals and large corporations have enormous control over our economic and political life. Today, we are in a country where three people, three of the wealthiest people, own more wealth than the bottom half of American society and 52 percent of all new income is going to the top 1 percent.” Sanders made this statement on October 3.

Just three days later, on October 6, a thoroughly discredited nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh, who had the financial backing of a front group funded by billionaires Charles and David Koch, Americans for Prosperity, was installed on the U.S. Supreme Court. This marked a new milestone for the oligarchs. There was no longer any need to mount even a pretense of representative government. Kavanaugh’s confirmation was opposed by 2400 law professors from a wide array of universities; the National Council of Churches, which represents 100,000 congregations and over 40 million individuals; former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens; and tens of thousands of Americans who protested in cities across the U.S.

In 2019, Wall Street Banks Will Determine the Future of America By Pam Martens: January 2, 2019

In short, Americans have gotten both the stock market and the government they deserve for failing to meaningfully reform both following the epic 2008 financial crash which pointed so clearly to unprecedented corruption on Wall Street and within the corridors of power in Washington.

Americans’ failure to demand real reform of what Senator Bernie Sanders has correctly called a business model of fraud on Wall Street means that those same behemoth Wall Street banks that crashed the financial system in 2008 are even more dangerous today. For its part, the Trump administration has become a willing enabler to Wall Street’s financial hubris by putting its former lawyer, Jay Clayton, in charge of the Securities and Exchange Commission and a former foreclosure king, Steven Mnuchin, in charge of the U.S. Treasury and the Financial Stability Oversight Council.

Wall Street banks have now grown so massive and interconnected that they are in a position to determine the very future of this nation. The big banks’ share prices are signaling that the day of reckoning is coming in 2019.
