Wouldn't surprise if FBI Dir Patel fell for a phishing attempt ...

YouTube video of #12:

Arthur Hayes Sings - Do You hear me, Lord?

This video could be manufactured (or AI), but the song and performance are incredibly beautiful and heartfelt.

A man invites a couple of Jehovah Witnesses in on a hot summer day.

He asks, "so, what would you boys like to talk about?"

The two JWs look at each other, puzzled. One answers, "Don't know. We've never gotten this far before."

Who would have guessed the demented orange chomo is a racist ---------?

And his sycophant, Hegseth. His Ted (Bundy) Talks are the rantings of a demented mind.

Beyond a shadow of a doubt ...

Benchmark Brent Crude is now over $114 bbl.

Self-inflicted Trumpflation is here thanks to his tariffs and this war. Entirely self-inflicted.

Oh, and the stock market - Trump's chosen measure of the economy - is falling down as prices rise on everything.

Well, we already have robots that have replaced First Ladies ...

Mrs. Trump is a bit robotic. A Stepford first lady.

And she doesn't even live in the WH, choosing instead to live in Palm Beach.

She's the first first lady to not live in the WH by choice.

After the passage of Medicare, Republicans worked with Democrats to fix and improve it.

After the passage of the PPACA (Patient Protection - which all insured benefit from - and Affordable Care Act), republicans did NOTHING but try to take it away from untold millions of people.

Now, thanks to the BBB, millions who buy private health insurance on the exchange can't afford the premiums.

But they have no problems spending hundreds of millions on a war of choice. Money that COULD have been used to keep subsidies.

Republicans don't give a flying &^#! about average Americans. That's the truth.

Iran-linked hackers breach FBI director's personal email, publish photos and documents

WASHINGTON, March 27 (Reuters) - Iran-linked hackers have broken into FBI Director Kash Patel's personal email inbox, publishing photographs of the director and other documents to the internet, the hackers and the bureau said on Friday.

On their website, the hacker group Handala Hack Team said Patel "will now find his name among the list of successfully hacked victims." The hackers published a series of personal photographs of Patel sniffing and smoking cigars, riding in an antique convertible, and making a face while taking a picture of himself in the mirror with a large bottle of rum.

DOC

How about Trump's participation trophy from Mike Johnson? Laughable!

Egomaniac Orange Dotard and his sycophant, Scott Bessent have a lot of nerve.

Especially since Trump is singlehandedly sending us towards a recession; GDP pitiful, unemployment rising, inflation rising thanks to Trump's tariffsm and now this war that'll drive prices up on everything thanks to higher shipping costs for everything we consume.

And Bessant says the move was appropriate for the U.S. 250th anniversary, given strong U.S. economic growth and financial stability during Trump's second term.

Operation Epstein Deflection

All or most of the devious Trumpf junta prosecutions will take place in the Southern District of Florida (SDFL) satellite courthouse where USDJ Aileen Cannon presides.

Isn't she just one of several judges the case could be assigned to by draw?

IIRC, she just happened to draw Jack Smith's prosecution over Trump & classified documents he stole.

Judge Rita Lin on Thursday sided with the artificial intelligence (AI) company in an order finding that directives from President Donald Trump and US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth that all government agencies immediately stop using Anthropic tools could not be enforced for the time being.

Judge Lin wrote in her order that the government was attempting to "cripple Anthropic" and "chill public debate" because of the company's concerns over how its technology was being used by the US Department of Defense. "This appears to be classic First Amendment retaliation," the judge added.

The order means that Anthropic's tools, like Claude, will continue to be used in the government and by any outside company working with the military until the lawsuit is resolved.

Oil futures are up again

Brent (the benchmark) is currently up to $110. Look for $4+ gas coming soon to a station near you.

If you earn less than $109,000 a year after 65, and have a Part F supplement (covers the other 20% Medicare doesn't cover), 100% of care is covered under Medicare once you've met the $283/year Medicare deductible for outpatient and $1,676 for hospital stays. That's it.

This is ACTUAL "Lawfare" for MAGAts who bandied that term around.

When have we EVER seen a president pardon so many felons simply because he wanted retribution and use the DOJ to harass opponents?

Never

What we are watching is the Nazification of America; the building of the 4th Reich.

Only if they get their way. We made it through the Gilded Age. Teddy Roosevelt broke up the monopolies because the public was dissatisfied. We're in the same place, different era. I'm optimistic we'll come out of this. America has a history of taking two steps forward and one step back, but we eventually do end up better than before.

When I was a teenager Ocala was mostly a bunch of citrus groves. Orlando too. Worked a couple of days with a buddy and his dad picking oranges. It was weird how some orange trees grew other fruit like limes or grapefruit. When we'd go over the Howard Franklin bridge, we'd throw oranges into Tampa Bay. Sometimes sharks came up to see what just splashed the surface. Beach towns were mostly weekend cottages, and not too fancy. Old Florida was pretty cool.
