  1. He’s doing his best to normalize this crap: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/quick-reaction-national-guard-forces-be-trained-civil-disturbances-by-2026-us-2025-10-29/ WASHINGTON, Oct 29 (Reuters) - The National Guard is planning to train hundreds of troops in each state to be part of a rapid-response force focused on civil disturbance missions by the start of next year, two U.S. officials said on Wednesday. President Donald Trump has increasingly embraced using the military to support his domestic agenda, including deploying troops to Democratic-led cities like Los Angeles; Portland, Oregon, and Washington, D.C.
  2. Is anybody surprised that once Bibi is satisfied that what remains of the hostages have been secured, he would resume bombing Gaza?
  3. She fired John Dickinson and rumors are that FOX’s Bret Baier will take his place. Show everybody what objective journalist you are, Bari.
  4. Wait until you see him trying to explain water to Navy cadets today. He’s deteriorating fast and it’s obvious.
  5. The "nuclear option," which involves a majority overriding a precedent set by the presiding officer, has been used to change rules specifically for nominations, as was the case in September. While it can be, it has not been used for general legislation. I think Republicans are less concerned about crossing the Rubicon than they are about incurring the wrath of their voters who depend heavily on Obamacare.
  6. Breaking. Netanyahu has ordered immediate massive strikes in Gaza. Bari Weis should have waited.
  7. In white Jesus’ name. Amen.
  8. Am I alone in feeling like college football is careening off a cliff? It just feels like a completely unstable, wheels off enterprise.
  9. 60% of us live from paycheck to paycheck, as we prepare ourselves to live among the first wave of AI sponsored trillionaires. The widening gap between the uber wealthy and the working poor will only get worse. The kind of income inequality were are experiencing is the stuff revolutions are made of.
  10. I know he’s older, but who’s going to steal the Houston coach?
  11. The House reconvenes on 10/28. Wonder what excuse the creepy youth pastor will use for refusing to swear in the newly elected AZ. Congresswoman?
  12. I don’t care how many times I see stuff like this, it really hard to grasp that this is happening in our country.
  13. Chilling: We’re going to kill them. They’re going to be, like, dead,” Trump said.
  14. Why are the trans people in it?
  15. They love building monuments to themselves:
  16. She’s just the worst ever.
  17. You don’t think they’ll want to go to Bari Weis University. Do you?
  18. It should always be referred to by its proper name - The Trump-Epstein Party Palace.
  19. Did anybody catch Campbell standing with Trump today as he bragged about demolishing the East Wing? That guy has an agenda and it’s not about college athletics.
  20. That would be funny if it weren’t a real possibility
  21. I don’t think Houston is, yet, but that Tech triumvirate is rabidly right wing. Its new face to the world and chief branding officer is Chancellor Brandon Creighton, who is the chief architect of all of the anti DEI legislation in Texas. He’s the worst and a UT grad to boot. I don’t think my theory is at all far fetched. Narcissists understand one another. All Campbell has to do is give Trump some money, tell him how wonderful he is, and promise to use redirected research dollars to advance conservative causes. Funny thing is, no reputable scholars would want to go anywhere near Tech.
  22. The very real downside of this slouching toward maga is nobody worthwhile will want to teach at the relenting institutions.
  23. Heard one expert say today that because this is an administrative matter and not a judicial one, Trump’s request could be granted without us ever knowing about it. He is a grifter par excellence.
  24. I’ve seen quite a few pics recently of the Tech Board of Regents chairman with Trump at the White House. I believe one main reason Tech has caved in advance, and surrounded itself with a bunch of virulently right wing politicians is to be in position to receive a windfall of research dollars Trump has extorted or redirected from other universities who refuse to play ball with him. UT will resist for awhile, but I don’t have hope that saner heads will prevail
