Good morning, from my office stuffed between two stadiums in Seattle.  I don’t have much time today, I have a LOT to do and only a few hours to do it in, so I have to make this short.

Item 1:  Bye, bye Bibi: Is the game up for Israel’s great survivor Netanyahu?

As I’ve pretty much stated from the beginning of this thing way back in October, it is been my suspicion that Bibi allowed the Hamas attacks to happen in order to save his own ass following a summer of protests and demands to resign.  

Some of you here took exception of my suspicions — mainly because you hadn’t really been paying close attention to the events in Israel over the past year or so.

It is getting really hard not to believe that Israel didn’t have the intelligence to know ahead of time that Hamas had planned its attack on October 7th.

The reason I have to believe that the Hamas attack was allowed to happen has been backed up several times by the news and revelations that have come out of Israel over the past six months about concerning the Israeli government’s ultimate plans following its utter destruction of Gaza and the out and out murder of Palestinian citizens NOT connected in any way to Hamas.

You can choose to ignore the revelations coming out all you want — it wouldn’t change the fact that the ultimate goal of the Right wing government of Israel is to kill off as many Palestinians as they can, and then try to shove the rest of them into either Egypt and/or Jordan.

This is literally what the government has been pushing for over the past six months or so.

Like it or not, it is considered a WAR CRIME.

Item 2:  Florida Abortion Rulings to Keep Issue Front and Center in November

There are a few things that could guarantee a win for Democrats this coming November:  Pot and Abortion.  If both of those items are on a ballot,  Republicans will have NO chance of winning anything, because abortion and Pot will bring out Democrats who ordinarily don’t bother voting, out to vote in droves.

Floriduh may find itself a bit Blue this coming November.

There is a reason why Republicans have never actually done anything about the abortion issue — the issue has been a huge, and reliable source of cash for the GOP, and if they had managed to completely outlaw abortion, the money source would have almost immediately dried up.

As far as important issues for Republicans to run on, abortion was really their only act to play.

Now that abortion is all but illegal in several states, you can expect that Democrats will be juiced to come out and vote any and every Republican than see out of office.  After all, there are far more Democratic-leaning people in this country than there are Right wing Republicans.  It’s like almost two to one.  The ONLY thing that has kept the Republican party in play is the fact that most Democrats don’t actually vote most of the time — unless they have a solid reason to turn out.

They have a solid reason now.

Item 3:  Solar eclipse conspiracy theory sweeps across US claiming its path through ‘biblical’ towns proves country is ‘wicked’

Some people are as stupid as fuck.  Others are even stupider.

There are too many people out there who seem to have a serious problem with reality.  They are gullible enough to fall for just about anything they are told, as long as it doesn’t have any real tangible basis in fact.

Item 4:  Scientists Accidentally Create Mouse With Six Legs and No Genitals

“Accidentally”.  

What were they intending to create, if a six-legged mouse with no genitals is what they ended up with?

Have a few Memes

Here are some of the memes that people have sent me in the past 24 hours:

Ronald Reagan in Drag:

Yes, this IS Ronald Reagan in drag.  It’s one of about ten different times the man dressed up like this, and yet nobody has ever raised the fuss that they are doing right now.

One thought on “Stupid News and Commentary for Wednesdays”
  1. You really should check out that mini-computer. Instead of spending upwards of a thousand bucks or more for a system capable of running Windows 11 and its artificial intelligence service, you can get everything you need from this little box for $240 or less.

    There are some other cheaper mini-PCs with the same processor and architecture. There are some refurbished Dell mini-PCs on Amazon for $150, but they are only capable of running Windows 10 Pro — which is alright, if you don’t mind losing support in about a year.
