Lying about Trump...

Liar.   A lie that, shockingly, came from a certain poster on Truth Social.

Meanwhile, back in reality...

Better refresh your sources. Otherwise you are a fool.
Even more to the point.
What does that have to do with the Biden response this week?

Comparing the successive administrations can be illuminating.

Unlike the trumpty dumpty flyovers, this time we have the balloon.

The World Trade Center is still the most vivid example of how fucking terrible the republicans are at keeping the sky safe over America.

Biden admin offers to brief them on what they missed.

It is one of the consequences of republicans relying on Russians for all their intelligence.

DeSantis gets an apology from Black leaders.


Pierre Rutledge, chair of the Miami Dade Black Affairs Advisory Board, issued a statement on behalf of his board that apologized to DeSantis for a comment made at their Wednesday meeting from a member who said,  Our governor is racist.

We take it to heart when someone uses the term racist, Rutledge said Friday.  Words matter. And so as chair, I must start by saying we want to pull that back. There is nothing wrong with saying we are  sorry.
That is not what we intended to say or be depicted by anyone.
And that is  not the feeling of this board.



The accusations of racism against DeSantis came as the board criticized the his  rejection of an African American history Advanced Placement course( as proposed)  due to content about Black Lives Matter and queer issues. The College Board removed aspects of the course Wednesday that were opposed by DeSantis, and the course will be reevaluated by the Florida Department of Education.

About those Fact Finders of Misinformation


News Item



Harvard University has quietly ended its misinformation research program giving the boot to director Dr. Joan Donovan, who cast doubt on the Hunter Biden Laptop from Hell story.

The program was founded in 2019, part of the post-2016 boom in misinformation research departments on campuses around the western world.
While heading the project, Donovan cast doubt on the Hunter Biden laptop story, which leftist media reluctantly admitted was a valid story, years after it was broken by Emma-Jo Morris and Miranda Devine in the New York Post in 2020.
The Donovan argument?
That Hunter Biden could have afforded a better laptop repair man.

You insisted earlier that DeSantis' opposition had nothing to do with the CB's removals.

The Balloon

I was surprised there was no try for a more gradual descent, perhaps by shooting a small hole with a BB gun. (perhaps those are hard to mount on an F-22) Our next step is clear: obtain a Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade float and release it from an allied nation that's upwind of China. Mickey Mouse would get my vote.  Or, it being the Year of the Rabbit, perhaps Bugs Bunny?

We need to get better at diplomacy and we need to improve global relations.

Dr Jill Biden presenting the Grammy award to the Persian for his theme song for the Iranian Revolution is the type of stuff that we need to be doing.

And we can improve relations with China while we have a good time of peace. ( And yes, Oilcan, sending a Bugs Bunny balloon over China for the year of the rabbit would be appropriate. ) We need to engage in good peacetime activities with China, and we can also work together on Cancer research and on going to Mars. And we can expand trade so that the poor people of China live better lives, etc, while trade is also good for our people here.

We also need to reward good peaceful countries, and we need to improve relations here in the Western Hemisphere, from the top of Alaska to the bottom of Chile, and we need to expand trade here in the Western Hemisphere. We can invest in the ports in Mexico, etc. And we need to reward the good peaceful nations such as Costa Rica, we need to let them know that we are proud of Costa Rica. And we can keep up the good work in our relationship with Colombia. Etc.

And here in the USA we need to continue to help our homeless people, and we need to build our high speed trains, and we need to expand trade and continue to create jobs. Joe is doing good on creating jobs, and there are many more jobs that can be created, people can work in the forests to help to prevent forest fires, people can build dams and new lakes for water, and we can build our high speed trains, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

Red is sorry that he failed the humanity test repeatedly and would like to be let back into the country. Since Red is utter vermin, we should continue to keep him out.
