Polls show most support vaccines

The Trump administration will get people killed.

CBS News Poll: Americans say vaccines should be made more available, but many say RFK Jr. making them less

Terrible opinion column in the New York Times on gerrymandering

This is bullshit. I oppose gerrymandering but California has to do it to balance out what Texas has already done. Otherwise, you’re letting Republicans get away with trying to steal elections. Thanks to the Supreme Court’s terrible Citizens United decision, billionaires can spend millions to help the Republicans.

New York Times doesn’t rebut Trump’s remarks about Baltimore

Trump called Baltimore a hellhole. The Times reported that without noting that crime in Baltimore is way down. Another Times failure. Does anyone in the media ever challenge Trump with the facts? I think the businesses that own the media are afraid of retaliation from Trump.

I don’t expect Trump to be deterred buy the court ruling against his actions in Baltimore.

Two New York Times articles by Thomas Pynchon

The Deadly Sins/Sloth; Nearer, My Couch, to Thee (1993)

and a book trailer narrated by Pynchon:

Bluesky post on satisfaction with the country

Looks like Republicans approve of Trump’s terrible and illegal actions.

“A 76% point gap between how satisfied Republicans are with the country versus how satisfied Democrats are. The largest partisan gap ever.”

King Corn documentary

I recently watched King Corn (2007), a documentary that follows two guys who grow an acre of corn in Iowa. It is enlightening about government subsidies, bad trends in farming and the harmful effects of corn products used as sweeteners. Worth seeing.

Trump’s obsession with a Nobel prize is pushing India to ally with Russia and China

Trump alienates everyone. He wanted India to lie and they wouldn’t do it.

Down is up – The disgraceful MAGA rewrite of January 6th

January 6th was an attack by criminals on the US government who were trying to overthrow the election.

Trump has pardoned the 1,600 people who were convicted

Trump has fired about 20 prosecutors who led the cases against them

Trump has treated terrorist Ashli Babbitt as a hero

Now the criminals want compensation from the government

money amounts

Bad New York Times opinion column on guns

I blame Republicans 100% for the lack of good gun safety laws. They are fine with children getting killed so they can keep assault rifles. This column makes it sound like everyone is to blame. That’s a lie.

Poor CNN article on Trump causing a decline in travel to the US

This is pathetic. Trump is the cause of the decline but they don’t say that until way down in the article. The media is afraid of Trump.
