Political Science - Randy Newman | The Midnight Special

#123 is Cheering on the Nazis.... just like the original America Firsters:

- It's not Yes.

Obviously.

- Generally cover bands suck

This one doesn't, which is one reason it's interesting.

World in Changes - Dave Mason | The Midnight Special

"He signed an executive order putting Vice President JD Vance in charge of an effort to "remove improper ideology" from the Smithsonian Institution, including its museums, education and research centers and the National Zoo.

Trump's order specifically names the National Museum of African American History and Culture and the Women's History Museum, which is in development.

"Museums in our Nation's capital should be places where individuals go to learn " not to be subjected to ideological indoctrination or divisive narratives that distort our shared history," the order said.

Representatives for the Smithsonian did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment."

Somewhere Hitler and Goebbels are high-fiving.

That was the interesting thing about this album... Jon Anderson still sounds great, and the Band Geeks are an excellent band no matter who they are playing with.

Some old acts you couldn't pay me to go see; they should have shut it down a long time ago.... like the Stones, for instance.

But this was actually refreshing.

Even some Republicans are noticing.... not Scott, of course:

"Officials agree national security adviser Mike Waltz, who accidentally invited a journalist to a group chat with senior leaders, could more easily take the fall for a scandal that has embarrassed the administration " which may end up sparing Hegseth his job.

But Republican hawks, Pentagon officials and even some inside the White House now believe Hegseth also messed up by sending likely classified details from his phone. And that has the potential to undermine his credibility in the administration.

Because Trump clearly likes and has publicly exonerated Hegseth, "you're not going to hear a huge public outcry," said a senior GOP official on Capitol Hill who is close to the White House.

"But, privately, there is a lot of concern about his judgment, more than with Waltz."

WASHINGTON (AP) " A federal judge on Thursday ordered the Trump administration to preserve records of a text message chat in which senior national security officials discussed sensitive details of plans for a U.S. military strike against Yemen's Houthis.

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg barred administration officials from destroying messages that were sent over the encrypted messaging app Signal earlier this month."

"On the chat, Hegseth provided the exact timings of warplane launches and when bombs would drop before the attacks against Yemen's Houthis began earlier this month. Hegseth laid out when a "strike window" would open, where a "target terrorist" was located and when weapons and aircraft would be used.

The images of the text chain posted by The Atlantic show that the messages were set to disappear in one week.

American Oversight sued this week to ensure that the records are kept in accordance with the Federal Records Act. The group suspects that administration officials routinely use Signal to communicate."

It's classic psychological projection. Most embarrassing for him, really.

#14 is NW.

And the due process they had was in American Courts of all sorts all around the country.

Of course, all of those Courts and Juries, and all of the dozens of Trump Aides who testified against him, including his own DoJ... must have been Dem Crisis Actors according to the Cult.

Who will obviously, and quite obliviously, believe every lie Trump tells them.

Europe lost 15 to 20 million killed in WW II, the US around 400k.

Because we fought the war over there rather than over here.

Now Europe sees that same America First Nazi movement from back then in power now in the US.

"With The Band Geeks, the modus operandi seems to have been to provide Jon with the best possible and most faithful backing band to present a setlist of epic Yes tracks " including mega-epics like Close to the Edge and The Gates of Delirium " that a band like ARW would never have tackled.

So what you have here is a band that wants to respect and honour these classic songs, and a vocalist who is still able to hit the heights (vocally and emotionally) that this music needs."

- ".... more than ten years of democratic regression in the country."

Trump is SO jealous! But damn proud of his friend, Er,doh!again.

- What's the big deal?

Greenlanders are protecting their homes and families. And especially their couches.

Why has Putrid Pete ordered US Cybercommand to halt all planning against Russian cyberattacks?

lmao... pretending that Trumpers care about facts and sources.

That's rich. Stupid, yes, but hilarious.

"U.S. officials went door-to-door in Greenland to find anyone who wanted to be visited by the Vances. They found no one.

US officials have reportedly been traveling around the Danish-controlled territory looking for locals who wanted to receive a visit from the Second Lady, according to a report from Danish TV 2.

Greenlanders' response? No thanks.

Residents aren't the only ones snubbing the Second Lady ahead of her high-profile visit to the island; Tupilak Travel, which is based in Greenland's capital city, Nuuk, initially said it would host Usha Vance, but pulled out on Thursday."

Herr Musk is actually THE fertilization President:

#111

This is your Party on Trump:

No Free World means no need for a Leader of the Free World.

Trump has his sites set on King of the Authoritarian World.

- a function of democracy.

Not to worry... Trump is taking apart all this democracy nonsense. Rwingers have been brainwashed that the US has nothing to do with democracy, because it is a republic, they are told, so they don't care.

And the idea of a democratic republic is way too complicated for them. Besides, the word democracy sounds way too much like democrat to be taken seriously.

These people just can't lie as well as their Boss... he needs to give them lessons.

1Nut appears to not understand numbers at all. OK, words, too.

"Trump changes his tune on Signalgate: I always thought it was Mike'

Some military and government officials have expressed concern about the contents of Hegseth's messages saying he leaked sensitive attack details that were "reckless and dangerous."

President Donald Trump tentatively blamed national security adviser Mike Waltz for the Signal leak scandal " while continuing to vigorously defend Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth " during a Wednesday evening executive order signing.

"Mike Waltz, I guess he said, he claimed responsibility," Trump said.

"I would imagine it had nothing to do with anyone else. It was Mike, I guess I don't know. I always thought it was Mike."

On the other hand, Trump questioned why Hegseth was receiving any scrutiny " despite the defense secretary sharing sensitive details about the operation, including launch times.

"How do you bring Hegseth into it? He had nothing to do " look, look, it's all a witch hunt," Trump said."

"The government's removal scheme denies Plaintiffs even a gossamer thread of due process," Millett wrote in a concurring statement.

"No notice, no hearing, no opportunity"zero process"to show that they are not members of the gang, to contest their eligibility for removal under the law, or to invoke legal protections against being sent to a place where it appears likely they will be tortured and their lives endangered."

The ruling upholds a temporary restraining order from District Court Judge James Boasberg, who blocked the Trump administration on March 15 from removing immigrants under the act."

Your turn, Chief Justice Roberts.
