Looks a lot like and older Civilization and Sim City had a baby.

Perhaps. Looks like both CNN and NBC News have "stories" on their front pages as well.

Gotta love some hard hitting coverage by Engadget, followed immediately by "Best Amazon Prime Day 2025 deals."

Start with the 128 Democrats who voted with Republicans to table an impeachment vote this week.

I do wonder if we're going to see some websites popping up that kind of hit the reset button on social media and go back to smaller communities of folks with something in common.

I kind of miss the days of actually having online conversations with folks you know are real people (not bots), that aren't trying to be an influencer, or get famous, or some how many money off your interactions.

I tweaked. Many (most?) don't.

I look forward to hearing that Fetterman, Schumer and other spinless, feckless Democrats voted to confirm him.

You know what else would help? Annual (or more) blood tests during routine wellness checks with your doctor.

Do you know why most people don't get those?

~~Insurance won't cover them.~~ Many insurance providers won't cover them.

Maybe start there? Although I'm guessing he has no buddies who would make money from routine blood tests.

That really irks me is we basically have two styles of headlines right now.

The newer sites like Rawstory, Mediaite, New Republic, Daily Beast, and Meidas Touch all use this bullshit style of headline writing.

Meanwhile the traditional media sane washes the man and is equally disconnected from reality, but in the other direction.

At this point I'm wondering if there really was a ceasefire.

Everything this guy says is a lie until proven otherwise.

If I were a betting man, it seems very likely he just made the whole thing up. Perhaps he pitched the idea and was turned down by either Israel or Iran (probably both). Went to social media to proclaim his victory. Leading both countries to attach each other to show the whole thing was bullshit.

Let's not forget, he claimed he was the lynch pin behind the India and Pakistan ceasefire, only to have both sides say he wasn't involved at all.

If this election was held in 2023, you have to wonder if the outcome would have been wildly different.

For once, an encouraging sign for sanity and common sense.

This, in a nutshell, is what is wrong with the Democratic Party.

If one of these folks is your rep, CALL their office and ask them why they voted to table the impeachment vote, and let them know you're thinking seriously about not casting a vote for them the next time you have the opportunity.

 

A legal case questioning the accuracy of the 2024 election is moving forward.

The lawsuit, brought by SMART Legislation, the action arm of SMART Elections, a nonpartisan watchdog group, filed the lawsuit over voting discrepancies in Rockland County, New York.

Judge Rachel Tanguay of the New York Supreme Court ruled in open court in May that the allegations were serious enough for discovery to proceed.

 

A majority of Americans say President Trump is a "dangerous dictator" who poses a threat to democracy and believe he's overstepped his authority by actions such as the mass firing of federal employees, a new survey says.

The wide-ranging poll released Tuesday, on Trump's 100th day in office, is the latest sign of him losing support for his immigration and economic policies — the two issues that largely fueled his election.
