"Stuff like this is why neither side is in the right in that conflict."

Glad that Dummkopf Trumpf didn't waste California's water last year.

Although Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) represents the small 14th CD in NYC with approximately 700,000 constituents, like popular and competent NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D), she too has a nationwide following and is an effective member of the "Squad."

AOC Social Media Followers:

Instagram: ~ 9.7 million
TikTok: ~ 4.1 million
Bluesky: ~ 2.2 million

Genuine Democrats in NYS and America should all be rallying around her.

If AOC chooses not to run for POTUS in 2028, NYS Democrats will also be more than happy to have her replace the unpopular and ineffective US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY). New Yorkers have had their fill of this dinosaur-- like disgraced ex-Governor Andrew Cuomo -- and the herd of brontosauruses constipating the American body politic.

And thank you, *Killfile* for sparing me from "suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune," which will emanate from the trolls, stalkers, AIPAC-ers, and malcontents on drudge.com.

AIPAC-ers: "Russian interference in American politics! Russia! Look! Look! See? Russia!!!"

An international arrest warrant for war crimes issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) at the Hague remain active for Russia President Vladimir Putin.

An INTERPOL Red Notice has been internationally diffused for this notorious fugitive from justice.

An indictment is merely an allegation. To ensure a fair trial, Mr Putin must be presumed innocent until he is proven guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt at an international tribunal to be held for him in the Hague at a future date.

**** Millennials Spend $252 on an Average Date ****

"The average date costs $189 among Americans who spend money on dating.

That figure includes transportation, getting ready and the actual cost of the date, such as food, drinks or tickets.

Millennials reported the highest average cost per date, at $252, followed by Gen Z at $205.

Rising costs are changing dating behavior, with half of Americans who date saying they have gone on fewer dates or chosen less expensive activities."

**** 61% of Americans Said They Had to Cut Back on Groceries ****

"Another 59% of Americans said they had cut back on extras and entertainment.

More than three quarters of Americans, including 55 percent of Republicans, said Dummkopf Trumpf's policies had increased the cost of living in their community.

Survey after survey has found that Americans are feeling growing financial uncertainty. Nearly half of all voters gave the economy the lowest rating, "poor," in the latest NYT/Siena poll, up 11 percentage points since January."

On 23 May at approximately 2100 HRS, two Fort Hood military police (MP) officers responded to a report of brawling at the BLORA. When the two MPs attempted to break up the donnybrook, multiple shots were fired and two victims were struck, killing one and wounding another.

Rewarding ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by recognizing Israel is the fastest way for some of those Middle Eastern regimes to anger their subjects and ensure instability.

When the Shah of Iran fell in 1979, the new regime in Tehran announced Iran wanted friendly relations with every country in the world except for two.

When I ask people which two countries did Tehran exclude, everyone responds: "The US and Israel."

Nope.

In 1979 the new regime in Iran did not want relations with Israel and South Africa because of their racist, apartheid regimes towards the Palestinians and the blacks.

They did not specifically single out the US.

Relations crumbled after the US agreed on humanitarian grounds to let the hated and exiled Shah enter the US for medical treatment.

The students (Revolutionary Guards) then swarmed the US Embassy in anger, taking hostages.

Many elements of Iranian society opposed this brazen diplomatic affront, but were powerless to stop it.

I'm not old enough to remember JFK.
Does Talarico remind anyone of him?

#60 | Posted by Tor at 2026-05-24 10:33 PM | Reply | Flag: Only that they're both young, white, and have a "D" after their names.

The man behind JFK's speeches, witticisms, and talking points was Ted Sorensen.

I don't think young James Talarico is relying on anyone for his messaging other than the Gospel.

As a US Senator for Massachusetts, JFK could not pass Eleanor Roosevelt's simple purity test of publicly condemning Sen Joe McCarthy (R-WI) for his career-destroying Communist witch-hunts.

The Kennedy and the McCarthy families-- Irish Catholics-- were friends.

JFK reluctantly and finally did condemn "Tail-Gunner Joe" in a mild rebuke in 1959 or 1960 before his POTUS campaign.

As a US Senator, JFK identified himself as a "Democrat," not a "liberal."

Some senior Democrats did not vote for JFK to be POTUS in Nov 1960 because of that and other peccadillos.

JFK as POTUS helped the civil rights leaders as a ways and means of securing their votes, but he did not like the tensions MLK Jr and the Freedom Riders were causing with the Dixiecrats.

RFK called several civil rights leaders and asked them to stop their sit-ins and protests before his brother's first meeting with Soviet Premier Nikita Krushchev, arguing that they were embarrassing and undermining the POTUS. MLK Jr responded by saying that Bobbie was "tone deaf." [sic]

I don't think James Talarico or NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) would take approach to civil rights.

To avoid looking like another American civil war, USAG RFK deployed US Marshals to protect blacks from violent segregationists rather than have JFK send the US military to protect them. That move appeased the Dixiecrats.

In private, JFK swore like the sailor he once was and he enjoyed dirty jokes-- I don't think James Talarico does either.

JFK also had a temper and only his White House aides or family saw or heard his explosions of anger.

James Talarico doesn't seem to be the type to get angry. He's forgiving.

JFK regularly cheated on his wife and the First Lady knew all about the affairs.

I don't think James Talarico is the cheating type.

The first black NFL players were hit and tackled extra hard by the racists on the other teams.

The white teammates would have to pull off the lunatics from their beleaguered colleagues.

One black player told his astonished teammate: "It ain't easy being a Negro, Bob."

Jaxson Dart, who loves to run both in designed or broken plays, will be similarly dealt with.

Hi DBT2:

I bet rural Wisconsin and Michigan are similar.
