At left we see a post from “Patriot First News.”

When they say “we the American people,” just how many are they talking about?  Since most citizens are in vehement opposition to Trump, let’s start with the percentage of voters who approve of him, i.e., 37%.

Then, we have to subtract out all those who respect the U.S. Constitution.

It’s unclear how many remain, but it can’t be too many.

I happen to know several hardcore Trump supporters, but I doubt that there’s a single one who would suggest that the United States jettison the document that’s made this nation the envy of the world from the time its ratification in 1789 until Trump came along.

Young people in the United States today tend to be unaware of current events, uninvolved politically, and scientifically illiterate.  I get that.

But it sure would be good to see newly minted U.S. voters making sure that the ideals of the Trump administration are immediately and permanently removed from American society.

According to a recent poll conducted by Emerson College, if the election were held today, Mike Lindell would lose to Amy Klobuchar by a margin of 53% to 31%.

Now, exactly what does that translate to in terms of a probability of Lindell’s winning?  I’m unaware of a scientific method of making that calculation, but it can’t be more than 1 or 2 percent.  Perhaps the same as a three-legged horse winning the Kentucky Derby this coming May.

Minnesota is one of the least favorable states in the union for a moron Trump supporting liar, who lost a $2.3 million defamation suit when he claimed that Dominion Voting Systems had rigged the 2020 election in favor of Biden.

Sure, California or Massachusetts would be worse, but most Minnesotans are well educated and affluent people with solid moral values.

It’s nice to see that the company at left says that its “goal” is waste tire to fuels, rather than that it actually is doing so, which would be a lie, albeit one that is commonly told.

About 15 years ago, there were many dozens of organizations working on this, but none of them succeeded, because  a) the technology wasn’t mature, and b) the whole enterprise wasn’t cost effective.

A reader notes: Scientific fact cannot be overturned by a corrupt president.

Good for you.  It’s hard to find a more anti-science group on the entire planet than the Heartland Institute.

From “Voice of a Nation”:
Brace yourselves, patriots — the 2028 battlefield has erupted into an unquenchable inferno of destiny.
On Sunday, February (sic), 2026, J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio sealed the most formidable political fusion in history — an adamantium bond of unyielding intellect, ferocious working-class resolve, and laser-guided tactical mastery that is already fracturing the establishment’s foundations and electrifying the globe.
This transcends campaigns. This is an epochal reckoning.

 

LOL.  If the future is simply an extension of the present, by the time 2028 rolls around, there will be very few people who will even admit that they supported this criminally fascist regime, let along want to see it continue.

Without a doubt, the United States is headed in the direction of fascism, yet it’s hard to know how close we are.

There is a significant number of morons who don’t know that our constitution protects the rights of all of us to express our beliefs, even if they are critical of the president and his administration.

Again, it’s impossible to know if this population of morons will have any effect on the future of people like AOC.

There are many baby boomers who remember shows like Bugs Bunny and Rocky and Bullwinkle and lament that quality television for the young no longer exists.

Appreciation for shows like these require a basic level of understanding of music, art, literature, and above all, history.

From the Sierra Club:

Washington, DC – Today, in a brazen assault on the health and welfare of the American public, the Trump administration announced its rule revoking the Environmental Protection Agency’s longstanding greenhouse gas endangerment finding under the federal Clean Air Act. With the stroke of a pen at a White House, Donald Trump and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin have formalized climate denialism as official government policy and moved to eliminate EPA’s ability to directly fight the climate crisis.

We’ve known since the onset of Trump’s first administration that this highly corrupt president will do anything required to help the corporate polluters that support him financially.  The collapse of the environment is collateral damage, perfectly acceptable to the chief fascist.

From the list at left, I wonder why most of these cities are bright blue.

I’m going to guess that life in these places requires affluence, and affluence generally derives from good education, good breeding, good manners, and tolerance for other people.

Santa Barbara is too small (population 89K) to make the list, but it’s incredibly pricey, and it’s next to impossible to find a Trump supporter there.
