I have a blog that is terribly disused right now, but there is some content. Reviews and impressions. Complaints. Observations. Howls into the void.

To report 2.7% inflation for November, the Trump Admin excluded data on food, housing, electricity, clothing, medical care, and most other categories.
In fact, only 3 of more than 20 price categories were included in the calculations, making the report meaningless.
Actual inflation is much higher.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

He basically had one of his Nuremberg rallies last night, only televised instead of in front of a tiny, mindless crowd. No way I was watching that lie-fest.

A fascinating remembrance of Christmas 1968.
My 1968 Christmas — in dirty, snowy, brilliant New York City
It's a good thing you're only 21 once — but that was an amazing time in a city on the edge of disaster

AI and crypto have created the illusion that all is well with the economy — even as Trump has taken a wrecking ball to it.
When the AI and crypto bubbles burst, we’ll likely see the damage Trump’s wrecking ball has done.
Be warned.

Wait til the magats find out how expensive everything is when they don't have a job.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell warned the delayed jobs numbers “may be distorted” and should be viewed with a “somewhat skeptical eye.”

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Sadly, I think this has been true for many years.
I feel sympathy and anger that critical thinking is not being taught in the schools or in the home. This is intentional by the government but parents are abdicating their responsibility too.
