AIPAC will throw their weight and money around in California too.

Guess who AIPAC-favorite Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is not endorsing in the race to succeed her?

Of course.

The non-AIPAC recipient.


We will hear the same bleating from the same sources about Saikat Chakrabarti (D): "He's too liberal," "he has no experience," "he's not even a real Democrat."

Blah-blah-blah.

I loved all those shows back in college

And To the Manor Born, The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin, Fawlty Towers... Monty Python, of course. Lots more!

Apparently they still call it, 'the golden era of UK television" across the pond.

Britain was also where most of the music was coming from in that era, and the satire on life, the cultures, the gov, and Everything of Britcoms was really good TV at the time.

Better than Bonanza, which finally went off the air in '73.

my old hometown newspaper... which once carried a story about a famous comedienne who once told a joke about how all the old people don't live in Naples... all the old people live in Sarasota.

Their parents live in Naples.

Wow... Ferrell stole my haircut!

It's cool, though. I can pass for him again now.

How To Claw Back what Trump Just Stole

Rick Wilson | May 19, 2026

-----

Let's not pretend we don't know exactly what we just watched.

It was a daylight robbery, a smash and grab of $1.8 billion of your money.

This essay isn't about simply what happened, and why we're so numb to it, but on how to turn this on Trump, the corrupt Todd Blanche DOJ, MAGA, and the GOP and make this robbery a political poison pill they'll regret for a very long time.

On Monday, the Department of Justice ... your Department of Justice, the one your tax dollars fund, the one with "Justice" literally chiseled into the stone ... announced it was scraping $1.776 billion out of the federal Treasury and pouring it into a fund to pay off Donald Trump's friends, lackeys, cronies, and the terrorist goons who beat cops with flagpoles on January 6th.


They named it the "Anti-Weaponization Fund," which is trolling in itself, the kind of name you pick when you have weaponized the government so completely that you've started to enjoy the irony. They set the number at $1.776 billion ... a cute little wink at 1776 and our 250th anniversary, because nothing says Spirit of the Revolution like looting the public purse to reward an insurrection against the nation.

This is how filthy it is: Trump sued the IRS, an agency of the government he runs, for $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns. He sued himself, essentially, and then settled with himself.

... the terms by which the slush fund will operate are pretty broad, because they want to be able to pay out a lot of different kinds of cronies.

But what happens if James Comey applies for some money? Or Letitia James? Or Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ)?

The shadowy figures who are going to administer the fund won't pay those people, of course, and the Trump targets will be able to go on TV and/or file lawsuits that bring all kinds of attention to the fact that the whole thing is just self-dealing. That trio, joined by a few others, could give Trump & Co. several black eyes before this is all said and done.
