Vacation

My son arrived yesterday for a week's visit and I could not be more thrilled. Even though the temperature here is about a thousand degrees, there is always the cool water of the Pacific to prevent one from dying from heat stroke.

I genuflect to the inventor of a/c.

I'll be back on Monday, May 29.

Not to leave you empty handed I posted some graphics below for your humor entertainment.

Peace and love to all.

CNN Parent Company CEO Argues Network Needs ‘Both Sides of Every Issue’ Day After Amanpour Slammed ‘Bothsidesism’

CNN Parent Company CEO Argues Network Needs ‘Both Sides of Every Issue’ Day After Amanpour Slammed ‘Bothsidesism’
Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav told the MoffettNathanson Technology, Media and Telecom Conference in New York on Thursday that CNN needs “to show both sides of every issue” in order to rebrand from a “left-leaning” network...Amanpour offered a concrete example of when telling both sides of a story is not always warranted in her view, arguing that journalists roundly report Ukraine “is the victim of a Russian imperialist illegal aggression” and do not give equal weight to the Russian view of the war.

So, if bothsidesism is CNN's new norm, when do we watch interviews with mass murderers, insurrectionists and pedophiles...oh wait, CNN already interviewed Trump.

CNN’s Christiane Amanpour Takes Aim at Boss Chris Licht Over ‘Earthquake’ Trump Town Hall, Says Network Needs to Regain 'Trust'

CNN’s Christiane Amanpour criticized her network’s decision to host a live town hall with Donald Trump last week, calling the move by CEO Chris Licht an “earthquake.”... Amanpour addressed Trump telling Collins during the town hall that she’s “a nasty person.”

“I would have dropped the mic at ‘nasty person,’” she said. “But then that’s me,” she said. “I’ve been in the ring for a long time with these people.”

Apparently, Kevin McCarthy Is Too Busy To Respond To Impending Floodwaters

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is pointing a finger at Republican lawmakers for their failure to respond to a flood emergency that is inundating their districts of the Golden State.

In a stern letter sent to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Rep. David Valadao (R-Calif.), Newsom reminded the legislators that local leaders have been warning with “great urgency” that their “constituents are ‘in a path of destruction’ from floodwaters.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene literally got famous by harassing teenage Parkland shooting survivors (following them on the sidewalk, saying the shooting was a hoax) and streaming that bullshit on Facebook for her thousands of braindead chucklef-ck social media followers. She's a fraud - Liam Nissan tweet
