Normally, this would not be big enough news for us to write a weekend item. However, we had an item yesterday noting that people with advance information were saying the newest jobs report would be so-so. Maybe these people were working from a phony version of the report, like the phony forecast of orange juice futures in the movie Trading Places. In any event, the actual report was fantastic. read more
You may not know this, but some Donald Trump supporters are not exactly the sharpest knives in the drawer. We think it is fair to include 42-year-old Nathan Thornsberry in that group. He was a participant in the insurrection on 1/6 and, after giving it much thought (or maybe no thought?) he decided to write a book about his experiences. If you would like to read it, it's titled January 6: A Patriot's Story, and it's for sale here.

Why is it that there's so much faux concern about Democratic Party machinations from those who, in reality, don't give a --- about the Democratic Party?
It is so transparent.

Tony, with this post of yours I do believe that you've accurately described Bellringer.
Bravo.

This Week in Schadenfreude: Not a High-IQ Individual, We Suspect
Although IQ, at best, is a somewhat crude instrument for measuring some types of intelligence, Donald Trump and his followers are obsessed with it. We could not help but think of that fact when we read about an as-yet-unidentified man who went viral last week.
The man attended a charity auction in Texas, and apparently had some money to spend. So far, so good. What he ended up buying, for $4,000, was a Taylor Swift guitar. When he walked up to receive the guitar, he was also handed a hammer, which he promptly used to destroy the instrument. Presumably, the "privilege" of destroying the guitar, and thus ostensibly "sticking it" to Swift, was what was actually being auctioned. You can watch the video at the link, if you wish.
There is, as you might have guessed by now, one small problem. The guitar was never used by Swift, was not signed by Swift and, by all indications, has nothing to do with Swift. It did come with a signed CD, however. So, what we have here is a fellow who paid $4,000 to destroy a guitar worth maybe $150, plus... a Taylor Swift-signed CD, which definitely was not destroyed. Good job, Mr. MAGA.
We are reminded of the old aphorism about a fool and his money... (Z)

Escape into a good book and you can be whatever you want to be, my friend.
