Trump suggests FCC could revoke licenses of TV broadcasters that give him too much 'bad publicity' Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr told Fox News on Thursday afternoon that ABC's decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel's show indefinitely may not be "the last shoe to drop."

I'm still trying to process the implications of this, if it's carried out.

Perhaps at a certain point a universe is drawn into an enormous black hole, formed over cosmic time; the black hole compresses that universe, destroys it as it is, compresses it more till it becomes the superdense singularity spawning the big bang. This singularity expands into a new universe.

Now why would Trump, a landlord in a long line of brutish racist landlords, want enforcement ending on fair housing?

I hope all of you who were too busy virtue signaling to vote for Harris are happy with the results.

Another in the GOP’s latest strategy to shut down all debate. US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee: “Hatred toward Israel is ultimately hatred toward all…Western civilization.

“If we worship the creation more than the Creator, we will end up with an antisemitic and anti-Christian worldview.”

The latest COVID vaccines come with new FDA limits The Food and Drug Administration approved the next round of COVID-19 vaccines, but is restricting them to people at high risk for COVID complications.

Some victories.

Some challenges ahead.

A lot of people I know who want this shot may have to go to lengths to get one. Will there be extras in Canadian clinics for Americans to buy? In Mexico?

National guard troops lounging outside a Krispy Kreme

Dearest Martha,

The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover.

Yours in glaze,

Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.

How more obvious can they get? Putin gave him an order--get rid of this guy, he's finding out too much--and Trump followed the order. When will people accept that Trump is a Russian espionage asset? They've owned him since they bailed out his business back in the 80s.

When I say impeached he may well go to prison, I mean impeachment will leave him vulnerable to sentencing for fraud and prosecution for other crimes and so on.
