If the Trump Commerce Dept stats are good enough for the Media, they're good enough for me!

These people are criminals, remember?

Bellboy still obfuscating for the Oligarchy; posting articles by radical rwing Fascists:

"Core Mission and Focus

Campaign Finance: Founded in 2005 by former Federal Election Commission (FEC) Chairman Bradley A. Smith (R), IFS regularly opposes campaign contribution limits, disclosure requirements, and regulations on political spending (including co-counseling the landmark SpeechNow.org v. FEC case that paved the way for super PACs)."

Saw this guy in downtown Austin in the early '80's in small-venue bar that I happened into; had never heard of him before:

- The Who with Moon.

They were great... I've never been able to remember Peter Noone and the Hermits even being there, I was so stunned by the music. This was NOT the Beatles, lol.

And then seeing the Stones was also a treat.

This was one of my favorite concert tours that came to Dallas (fav along with Joni Mitchell and Tom Scott):

"Yardbirds guitar legends unite: Watch Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page jam on Layla at 1983 ARMS Charity concert

Karab... I went to my very first Concert ever at 16 to see Herman's Hermits in Dallas with a girl in high school who wanted me and my new Drivers Licence to take her to see them.

The band that came on first was... The Who. They played the set of their early stuff with Happy Jack, My Generation, and some others, then tore up their instruments and the stage, in TX ffs!

No one there had seen anything like it, and my music life changed forever.

Then later in college I saw a '72 Stone's tour in Ft Worth with Stevie Wonder opening, who was a tough act for anyone to follow. He was led around to every instrument on the stage it seemed, and he played all of them.

Gilded Age Oligarchs... aka "Robber Barons".

Kinda like the Robber Billionaires we have now.

DJT et al are Project25's long-held Plan to make us a Corporate-dominated Fascist Nation... which is what we are becoming.

Adolph was a charismatic criminal, too, but he was nothing without the German equivalent of America's earlier Gilded Age Oligarchs.

(searched that sentence I wrote and found their names; the Musks and Theils and Kushners of their time)

Good one... reminded me of this:

True Detective - Opening song (HD) (The Handsome Family - Far From Any Road)

He caught a train from Alexandria
Just a broken man in flight
Running scared with all his devils
Saying prayers all through the night

But mercy can't find him
Not in the shadows where he calls
Forsaking all his better angels
That's how every empire falls

The bells ring out on Sunday morning
Like echoes from another time
All our innocence and yearning
And sense of wonder left behind

Oh, gentle hearts remember
What was that story? Is it lost?
For when religion loses vision
That's how every empire falls

He toasts his wife and all his family
The providence he brought to bear
They raise their glasses in his honor
Although, this union they don't share

A man who lives among them
Was still a stranger to them all
For when the heart is never open
That's how every empire falls

Padlock the door and board the windows
Put the people in the street
"It's just my job, " he says "I'm sorry."
And draws a check, goes home to eat

But at night he tells his woman
"I know I hide behind the laws."
She says, "You're only taking orders."
That's how every empire falls

A bitter wind blows through the country
A hard rain falls on the sea
If terror comes without a warning
There must be something we don't see

What fire begets this fire?
Like torches thrown into the straw
If no one asks, then no one answers
That's how every empire falls

- John Prine, 2005

IT was the GOP that did this first in Alaska... see the post at #7.

And they used the name of an out of state prison inmate.

- 9 billion in fraud in Minnesota?

"Tracked and Prosecuted Fraud: Investigative reviews by local media and state authorities found that actual prosecuted and charged social services/Medicaid fraud has totaled under $500 million (with the massive Feeding Our Future case accounting for roughly $250"$300 million of that amount)."

"That extraordinary passage shows how his aides are placating his anger. Yet new CNN polls show Democrats with leads in most of the key Senate races that will determine control.

So we talked to political scientist Tom Schaller, author of a good piece for the Public Notice Substack on MAGA culture.

We discuss whether those CNN polls are right, why Trump believes his influence over GOP voters will save the party, how a big Democratic night could break Trump-MAGA cultural power, and how that could allow Democrats to expand their coalition in coming years. Listen to this episode here. A transcript is here."
