If you watched the series "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel", you may remember that the character Shy Baldwin got "married", too. His agents arranged that, so they'd be able to continue selling his records without any "trouble".

What integrity? Mikey Johnson is a smarmy tool.

In the past, more than a month ago, I posted a cartoon which showed him on his knees in a hallway before a shrine to Trump.

I didn't have time to scroll back and find it yesterday, and I've forgotten which cartoonist drew it, but I'll post it again.

Thanks. I'm the son of an advertising writer, and my family played word games at the dinner table.

I credit my long interest in film as making me more sensitive to dialogue, though.

Residency, not citizenship.

The sort of people they hope to attract don't want the burdens of citizenship, and most likely will have insulated their assets from taxation, by maintaining them outside the U.S.

Yeah, it's great.

It sounds even better said when Anthony Davis narrates White's essay with his British accent.

I used to post links to where that narration appeared on YouTube, but, now that Davis has developed Five Minute News, folks need to jump through hoops on his site to hear it.

CHILDREN WERE SACRIFICED TO MOLOCH

Psychopath Trump never has shown empathy to others, but, because food aid to other nations has been halted, many children will die.

What is motivating the rejection of empathy by others who don't share Trump's psychopathy? Has selfishness corrupted Christianity?

Empathy, in this formulation, can block moral and theological clarity.

Whatโ€™s wrong is wrong, and too much empathy will cloud your soul.

Psychopath Trump โ€” to the laughter and cheers of the crowd โ€” said that he hated his opponents.

SOMETHING IS STIRRING IN CHRISTIAN AMERICA, AND IT'S MAKING ME NERVOUS

Incredibly, Christians are attacking what they call the โ€œsin of empathy,โ€ warning fellow believers against identifying too much with, say, illegal immigrants, gay people or women who seek abortions.

Yes..

Republicans are devoted to bringing back the worst parts of the 1950s. Take a look the tax rates for different income levels then (together with statistics about how many people received incomes those amounts).

It's best to ration your time with such videos. Otherwise, you may not accomplish your tasks.

Of course, individuals vary. But I realize that I'm very susceptible to baby goat videos, and must guard against over-exposure to them.

Next time, give us more facts about the incident. Was anything said by the guy in the truck? Were there any verbal threats?

Pointing a weapon at a person puts that person in danger. Legitimate agents have been instructed not to be so reckless.

Folks need to know WHERE this is happening.

I'd like to hear what career law enforcement officers think about this behavior.

This is bad shit.

I am going to treat any one of them like this guy, to protect others, because we can't tell which of them are this reckless.

I'd call it assault, and infliction of emotional dfistress. And there is no justification for such behavior.

We are the enemy because we do not feel threatened by diversity or inclusion. Decency will survive, but it will cost us.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Inside FDA, career staffers describe how political pressure is influencing their work Current and former FDA staff said the level of involvement of political officials in nitty-gritty regulatory matters is unprecedented.

The quality of science disappears when there is political interference. The NIH and CDC are compromised. The FDA as well. Changing the label of a drug based on handful of small studies to fit your agenda is dangerous. This isn't how the FDA is supposed to work.

Opinion | Every time JD Vance tells a story, a sinkhole swallows 30 people This is the story I must tell to raise awareness.

Sorry, in addition to the typos at the start (now corrected), I did not attach a gift link to Petri's column. Here it is, and, remember, the reason Vance gave for making up the slanderous lie was that he wanted "to raise awareness".

Of what?

A good name for him, but I still use his current name, JD Vance, so people know it's him when I re-post Alexandra Petri's great column from a year ago, after he admitted he had made up the lie about legal Haitian immigrants: "Every time JD Vance tells a story, a sinkhole swallows 30 people".
