In the darkest depths of , online shopping seemed to be...
FedEx
A FedEx cargo airplane attempting to land at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport on Saturday morning was seconds from disaster with the flight crew suddenly forced to pull up and abort their landing after a Southwest Airlines plane was also cleared to takeoff from the same runway. The two planes appeared to come...
The moment you mention racial discrimination in this country, some recoil in horror. First, come the denials—because the people accused are not carrying a noose or wearing a hood. Next, the attempt to shut down the discussion with the two-word phrase ‘race card’ which has been replaced with the word...
Apparently the spree killer in Indianapolis was also a “Brony”, a follower of My Little Pony as reported by the Wall Street Journal. We are in our pandemic (l)anguish, even more confused by a sad shape for online culture. Not unlike the infantile imagery used by Boogaloo Boys, racism and sexism filter into...
Who failed: “The FedEx gunman legally purchased his two semiautomatic rifles just a few months after the police seized a shotgun from him amid concerns about his mental health. Authorities apparently didn’t consider him subject to Indiana’s red flag law.” “Red flag”laws only work when they’re properly applied: Indianapolis police...
Do we really have the will to prosecute Trump for anything? Or will he escape yet again because he’ll try to bargain his way out of an indictment because he holds something, something national security secret. This is probably how Kushner guaranteed his safety after leaving the Trump regime. For...
CNN reports that the Biden team is greatly concerned that Trump’s public numbers on vaccines are fake and, more critically, it is hard to really know what the current state of play is. States across the country say they're running low on coronavirus vaccine supply, with many officials insisting the...
Whether profit or perfidy, count on Trump to do the wrong thing. Now, fewer Americans will be vaccinated before June. What appears to be happening is promotion of those drug makers (the legal ones) who were more friendly to Trump. x BREAKING: Trump passed on buying more Pfizer vaccine. Because...
Trump has franked all of us. Kitchen Table Kibitzing is a community series for those who wish to share a virtual kitchen table with other readers of Daily Kos who aren’t throwing pies at one another. Drop by to talk about music, your weather, your garden, or what you cooked...
Fortunately, Trump has telegraphed one of his tactical options to remain in power. x For nearly 90 years, the Constitution has contained a built-in safeguard against presidents who try to retain power beyond the end of their term: presidential power automatically passes to the House Speaker at noon on January...
From CNN: x 1. Technically, Senator Kelly Loeffler is running to keep her seat. But she has decided to campaign against Black Lives Matter.

It’s always been offensive. It simply took this moment in history to get the ball rolling: x And here it is: the Redskins are undergoing a thorough review of the teamâÂÂs name. And letâÂÂs be clear: ThereâÂÂs no review if thereâÂÂs no change coming. Redskins on way out. pic.twitter.com/ZrS3cCvhMg— Adam...
I guess the NRA thought the Parkland school shooting would follow the script of every other massacre: Americans would call for our politicians to finally do something The NRA would then fundraise off the tragedy, and donate to their politicians to keep them in line The NRA politicians would then offer thoughts and prayers to the victims Rightwing...
Okay, Li’l Donny. Whatever you say. From The Daily Beast: Donald Trump caught various West Wing officials off-guard on Tuesday when he decided to describe the woman alleging that they’d had an affair as having a “horseface.” But privately, the president not only thought that it was strategically smart to...
Views on homosexuality differ widely in this country, but the percentage of Americans who think same-sex relations should be flat-out illegal is small and dropping precipitously. Frankly, it’s absurd that anyone thinks sex between consenting adults — no matter what form it takes — should be illegal. In many cases it...
The shooting at Santa Fe High School in Texas was the 22nd school shooting in 2018. Ten students and teachers were killed. More people have been killed in school shootings so far this year than have been killed serving in the U.S. military. It’s clearer than ever that we need...
