I just noticed Martha’s TGIF on a music stand in Phoenix. Horn 5 playing John Williams music. Bestill my heart! (retired Horn player here). Good on ya Martha!

Big push this week for the government to fund “journalism”

I especially enjoyed this. I am impressed at how extensively Nellie and her staff are reading or watching politically oriented news and news analysis outlets.

It is quite clear that many on the moderate and far left are insensitive to authoritarian politics.

The Great Math Fraud & Double-check that your lawyer passed the bar

Race relations leftists only admit race exists when the admission can be used to the detriment of whites. Otherwise, the reality of racial differences is regarded as an embarrassment. Oh sure, some of them can admit racial differences in prevalance of physical disorders, but for political purposes those who know pretend then don't know or blame whites for all the flaws or things that don't turn out well regarding whites and all others.

Most conservatives are infected with the mental virus that causes race relations leftism; it is extremely prevalent.

I especially enjoyed the Where-I-TGIF this week.

I know I'm getting to this late, and possibly my posts won't be read, but I've had a busy week, since this is my initial week of retirement.

"We cannot let the Asian students succeed!" : of course not, that's how White supremacist fascist regimes start, as we all know.

"my friends over at Reason think Justice Jackson’s comments are being unfairly maligned and are actually fair and normal, since she is arguing a relatively mainstream view that the government has the legal right to persuade platforms to curtail speech. Comments section, I leave this to you to sort out."

Isn't reason a libertarian magazine? huh.

"Yes, we have to end this bizarre open border experiment, but we also have to make it much easier for immigrants to legally come to the country. And no, I don’t get tired of banging my same centrist drum. "

Hold on, I thought that was the right wing view. If that's the centrist view, what's the right wing view?

"Doctors are giving C-sections because they’re scared of the A-word:"

Still preferable to slaughtering unborn children en mass.

Ever ill in today's society has been caused by the left (yes, including Democrats). And their response will be but we save your right to kill your baby! Anyone still voting for the D-party is either evil or absolutely stupid.

It sickens me to see Google use newspeak . I own a hard copy dictionary. Google has change the definition and the origin of bloodbath. The Black nazis didn’t teach them.

No algebra in middle school will only increase the divide between rich and poor. The rich can send their children to private school, move or hire tutors to get algebra. The poor r stuck in Union schools .

Why r squatters not charged w b&e ? We have property in California that we don’t rent out. It sits vacant due to the California rental laws . It’s locked up tight to prevent all squatting except the mice

"On March 18, the presidency of the UN Conference on Disarmament was officially given to the Islamic Republic of Iran."

We should stay in NATO and get out of the UN...and get it out of our country...and tell them to fuck off.

Nellie,

I am happy to stipulate that Trump's 'bloodbath' comment is low down in a list of atrocious statements this week, but your defense of the claim that it was regarding the auto industry is negated by what you quoted: "it’s going to be a bloodbath for the country". Please, be clear-eyed here.

I thought the "100 percent tariff" comment was for Chinese EV's to be manufactured in Mexico. This is typical Trump always negotiating.

I love TGIF but sometimes, as with this issue, it's hard to stay out of "the world is gone to hell and everything is awful" mindset. That British countryside story is so stupid that it sent me over the gloomy edge.
