Trump to attend the White House Correspondents Dinner (?)

He just wants the Media (and Us) Talking About Him (whatever the Cost) How many hours of US Media will be spent on Speculating on this Event? (this is why he is doing it)

I still think that the Best Thing to Do with this Abomination of a President should Totally Black List/Block him out

That means to Just NOT Talk about him At All until he is Gone.

Sadly, that is not going to happen, where Eyeballs and Attention is what he Desires the Most! It is part of his illness.

It is also Impossible to Not Discuss the President's Actions in the News. He Knows this.

So, while he has started a War with Iran, without the country or congress even knowing the reason why, he doesn't care, His Name is in the Headlines.

And that is what this TSF Will Attend the White House Correspondents Dinner is.

Yet Another Distraction. Everyone on MSM is talking about it as the date grows near. It is so sickening.

It is why I have lost all faith in MSM. They will cover this, every statement by TSF as he boards a helicopter and the high pitch ringing during the interview makes my Tinnitus go wild.

Our Press is Broken. How Do We Fix It?

MAKE HIM GO AWAY!

*sigh* I'm glad I'm Old.

I just saw the Video (ICE shooting Citizen in the Face and Kills her)

I just had an ugly cry after watching it. Everyone must see this.

I wanted to make sure that this video is not scrubbed.

Everyone must see this:

This video might be taken down, I tried to figure out how to save a clip.

THIS IS WRONG!! THE WORLD IS WRONG!

I'm going to cry again. This has got to stop.

Anyone see their Dec Utility Bill yet?

My jaw is still on the floor. Last month my PGE bill (for an all electric household, we don't have gas).....
The billing cycle is about a month behind current use.
Bill paid end of Oct: $204
Bill paid end of Nov $243

BILL PAID END OF DEC: $565.00 !!!!!!

We do everything we can do to conserve. We don't have the heat on over night. We turn it off between 4pm and 9pm. My mom is 84, and while I can put more and more layers on (my rooms are downstairs and colder, our mini split heater is upstairs for mom).

So, I have to get my mom to use the electric throw I got her as much as she can during the day and limit how much we use the heat. I'm really scared what the next bill is going to be, given how cold it has been and now much mom has been using the heater. I'm going to have to retrain her. I had to further diminish my quickly disappearing savings just to pay all the bills this month. This is not sustainable. I've stopped using the ceramic wall heaters for downstairs. It is cold, but I have layers.

I'm still in shock over the bill. I'm scared of what the next bill for January is going to be, and then there is Feb. After that it should start warming up some. Even though summers are very hot here, we don't use the AC on the mini split in summer, instead, I installed a huge Swamp Cooler which seems to do the trick (costs a lot less than the AC).

What a state our society is coming to. Can't afford to stay warm. Can't afford to get all the groceries we used to. Both mom and I are on fixed incomes and there is not a lot of flexibility.

/rant off (I needed to get that shock off my chest)

I wanna be in the Room Where it Happened

If only I could be a fly on the wall to listen to the Jack Smith hearing today.

I hope that there are leaks and leaks and leaks of what happens(ed) in there today.

James Dean Had it Right

Dang, I wanted to post an image, and thought this BlusSky link would work. Oh well...

But it doesn't seem to work, so here is a text description of the point I was trying to get across:

It was a screenshot of the film "Giant", where our hero James Dean was getting into the car and muttered to himself:

"Ain't Nobody King in this Country"

DangIt! Why can't we upload images on DU? So frustrating, I don't want to give a 3rd party my email etc...

Edit, I think I found it sort of:

Malaise - for malaise

I LOVE this guy (Jesse Welles, a Modern Day Bob Dylan).

I couldn't help thinking about one of my favorite DU posters when I heard this song. Turn CC on to see the lyrics (though he is pretty clear in his singing). I hope this guy goes far and wide.
