"I think it's worth it. It's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God given rights. That's a prudent deal. It is rational,"

They are suppose to promote local news and discourage monopolies.

No government entity is doing what they are "supposed" to do.

A Republican lawmaker revealed for the first time Wednesday that there is a quasi-list of suspected clients of sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein that can be compiled from a series of witness statements and other evidence gathered by the FBI.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) told the House Judiciary Committee that he thinks the FBI has the names of at least 20 people tied to Epstein, including prominent figures in the music industry, finance, politics and banking.

Massie's statement comes as FBI Director Kash Patel testified under oath before Congress over two days of contentious hearings, during which he continued to insist that there is no "client list" and no credible evidence that Epstein trafficked underage girls to anyone other than himself.

To see Trump and Kennedy giving women medical advise will surely have a place in the history of The Idiocracy.
Trump doesn't give a shite about autism.  He's very interested in making people talk about anything else but the Epstein files.

I sensed a little desperation in Trump tweet to Pam.  

WE HAVE TO HURRY.  DO IT NOW.  TIME IS RUNNING OUT.

"It's Not Incredibly Obvious What to Do'
September 17, 2025 at 5:51 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 72 Comments

Fed chair Jerome Powell readily admitted that this moment for the U.S. economy continues to be weird, Punchbowl News reports.

Said Powell: "It is such an unusual situation. Ordinarily, when the labor market is weak, inflation is low, and when the labor market is really strong, that's when you've got to be careful about inflation. So we have a situation where we have two-sided risk, and that means there's no risk-free path."

Later, Powell put it more bluntly: "It's not incredibly obvious what to do."

A full year before anyone casts their vote in November 2026 -- meaning now, in the fall of 2025 -- the American health care system will begin transitioning from an era of unprecedented expansion of coverage to an era of unprecedented cutbacks. And President Donald Trump and the GOP-controlled Congress will be easy to blame.

"Jon Stewart is tagging back in to host Thursday's episode of `The Daily Show,' Comedy Central has announced. Stewart normally just hosts Monday episodes of the talk show, with a rotating list of the show's correspondents on Tuesday through Thursday," Variety reports.

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) wants Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to respond to explosive testimony from the former head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention who painted a picture of chaos at the agency.

"Because President Trump has called for radical transparency, I am inviting Secretary Kennedy to speak with the Committee to share his side of the story," Cassidy, chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, said in a statement. "This is how we fulfill the President's mandate - giving Americans the full picture so they can judge for themselves."

Andrew Kolvet, an executive producer of "The Charlie Kirk Show" and a close friend of the slain conservative activist, said Charlie Kirk "loved that he was featured in `South Park`" and would have wanted the episode satirizing him to continue airing.

The Aug. 6 episode of "South Park," titled "Got a Nut," saw Cartman imitate Kirk's hairstyle and set up a table to debate students on politics. After Kirk was assassinated while speaking at a university on Sept. 10, Comedy Central pulled the episode from its linear rotation, while the episode remained available to stream on Paramount+.

Trump poised to fire US attorney for resisting effort to charge NY AG Letitia James

Recent events have proven that this is a country of phenomenal COWARDS. The media, the internet, corporate offices, Congress, lawyers, law firms, universities, police and the military. All populated with unadulterated cowards.

I want to wish everyone well for the remainder of 2025. I hope you all survive it. Maybe I'll see you in 2026.

With the current restrictions on conversation in place, I have decided to take a time out for the rest of the year. I am unable or unwilling to conform to the restrictions. (Always the rebel.)

This is Ms. Merritt's blog and she is within her rights to impose whatever restrictions she sees fit. I respect that. Unfortunately I can't adhere.

I seriously doubt there will be much of a country left going into 2026. This current US regime has proven that there is nothing they won't do to hurt people they don't like. Nothing. I honestly believe they enjoy it. All of my worst prediction have come to fruition, only worse than even I imagined.

Be well. And please, try to be brave.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
One last dig. :)

The reader of the complaint must labor through allegations, such as "a new journalistic low for the hopelessly compromised and tarnished 'Gray Lady.'" The reader must endure an allegation of "the desperate need to defame with a partisan spear rather than report with an authentic looking glass" and an allegation that "the false narrative about 'The Apprentice' was just the tip of Defendants' melting iceberg of falsehoods."

Similarly, in one of many, often repetitive, and laudatory (toward President Trump) but superfluous allegations, the pleader states, "`The Apprentice' represented the cultural magnitude of President Trump's singular brilliance, which captured the [Z]eitgeist of our time."

As every lawyer knows (or is presumed to know), a complaint is not a public forum for vituperation and invective - not a protected platform to rage against an adversary. A complaint is not a megaphone for public relations or a podium for a passionate oration at a political rally or the functional equivalent of the Hyde Park Speakers' Corner.

The Trump administration is preparing to designate transgender people as "violent extremists" in the wake of Charlie Kirk's murder, two national security officials tell me.

I bundled HULU with Disney because they literally make it one dollar more than just Hulu.

Here's President Donald Trump's Truth Social post where he tries to take credit:

Earlier this month I spoke with the Highly Respected President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev. Today I want to congratulate President Mirziyoyev on signing a GREAT Deal with Boeing! Worth over $8 Billion Dollars, Uzbekistan Airways is purchasing 22,787 Dreamliners.

---

So, according to Trump, there are 22,787 Dreamliners being built for Uzbekistan, even though Boeing has built and delivered 1,215 total as of Aug. 31, and at $8 billion total, each plane will cost only about $351,000, according to his idiotic math. And given the supposed 35,000 new jobs it will take to build them, Boeing will achieve the incredible efficiency of 1.5 workers per plane!

No, none of that is real, of course.

What obviously happened is that 14 planes plus an option for eight more equals 22. Someone must have passed Trump a note saying something like: "Uzbekistan is buying 22 787 Dreamliners."

Dumbass added the comma where there should've been a space, and no one felt empowered or emboldened enough to actually say "sir" and point out the humiliating mistake.

"They came back and tried to get the four of us to take our names off of the petition," Massie told Semafor after an event in his Northern Kentucky district. "They asked some of my colleagues who are co-signers. And they actually threatened them politically, not physically."
