Yossarian's Roost Resuscitated

The slow developments of the Venezuela situation had me hoping there would be no direct assault. The amphibious forces nearby have me on edge again.

Love me some Stevie Nicks
The second Whoopi Goldberg screamed, “CUT IT! GET HER OFF MY SET!”—it was already too late. Stevie Nicks had just turned The View into ground zero for live-television chaos, and every camera was rolling.
“YOU DON’T GET TO LECTURE ME FROM BEHIND A SCRIPT!” she roared, finger aimed squarely at Joy Behar after a sharp jab at her beliefs. Her voice thundered across the studio:
“I’M NOT HERE TO BE LIKED — I’M HERE TO TELL THE TRUTH YOU KEEP BURYING!”
The audience froze. The panel sat in stunned silence. Then—absolute eruption.
Ana Navarro lunged in, branding her “toxic,” but Stevie didn’t blink:
“TOXIC IS REPEATING LIES FOR RATINGS. I SPEAK FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE SICK OF YOUR FAKE MORALITY!”
And then came the moment that will live in daytime TV infamy: Stevie pushed back her chair, loomed over the table, and hurled her parting shot like a live grenade:
“YOU WANTED A CLOWN — BUT YOU GOT A FIGHTER. ENJOY YOUR SCRIPTED SHOW. I’M OUT.”
With that, she walked off, leaving the set in shambles. Social media went nuclear. Fans split down the middle. But one thing’s undeniable: Stevie Nicks didn’t just exit The View—she blew the doors off the entire format.

The controversy over the shooter of C Kirk keeps me confused. So many theories of how the man in custody is a decoy set against what appears to be indisputable proof he acted alone.

Man shoots detainees at ICE facility. ICE: It's a leftist attack on ICE.

Senator Chuck Schumer’s Leadership Is Toxic — and Democrats Are Finally Saying It Out Loud
Of 18 Democratic Senate candidates surveyed, not a single one endorsed Schumer as Senate Leader. His silence on Gaza and weakness against Trump must end.

There’s a frantically-steal-everything-not-nailed-down-to-the-floor-before-the-entire-building-collapses vibe coursing through America right now.

Seems really bad.

Secretary of War Hegseth orders nearly all top generals and admirals around the world to attend urgent, unexplained meeting next week.

It is not healthy when a political party loses multiple elections and yet the same politicians, consultants & aides get to keep their jobs for 30 years as if everything is fine. That’s no longer a political party — that’s a country club with lifetime membership privileges.

#MICROSOFT ALLOWED #ISRAELI MILITARY TO USE ITS CLOUD COMPUTING SERVICES UNTIL THE NEWS OF THE #SCANDAL REACHED THE MEDIA.

Interesting that your headline is microsoft allowed.

Over here it's microsoft has stopped.

The investigation was a few days ago. This is the fallout.

It's damning for both entities.

She died this week.

Assata Shakur, born JoAnne Deborah Byron, was convicted in 1977 for the first-degree murder of New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster during a 1973 shootout. The incident occurred on the New Jersey Turnpike when Shakur and two other members of the Black Liberation Army were stopped for a traffic violation. The confrontation escalated into a gunfight, resulting in Foerster’s death and the death of one of Shakur’s companions, Zayd Malik Shakur. Assata Shakur was also injured in the exchange.Case Details and ConvictionCharges and Trial: Shakur was charged with murder, attempted murder, and other related crimes. Her trial was highly controversial, marked by allegations of racial bias, prosecutorial misconduct, and questionable evidence. She was convicted by an all-white jury in 1977 and sentenced to life in prison.
Evidence: The prosecution relied on physical evidence, including bullet fragments and Shakur’s fingerprints at the scene, as well as testimony from law enforcement. However, Shakur’s defense argued that the evidence was circumstantial, and medical reports suggested she was shot while her hands were raised, casting doubt on her ability to fire a weapon.
Controversy: Supporters claim Shakur was targeted due to her activism with the Black Panther Party and Black Liberation Army, pointing to COINTELPRO, an FBI program that surveilled and disrupted activist groups. They argue the trial was unfair, citing inconsistencies in witness testimonies and forensic evidence. Critics of Shakur, including law enforcement, maintain that she was a militant who actively participated in violent acts.

Shakur’s Claims and EscapeShakur has consistently maintained her innocence, asserting she was a political prisoner framed for her activism. In her autobiography, she describes the shootout as an ambush by police and claims she did not fire a weapon.
In 1979, Shakur escaped from Clinton Correctional Facility in New Jersey, with assistance from supporters, and fled to Cuba, where she was granted political asylum in 1984. She remains there, living under the protection of the Cuban government.

Current StatusShakur was added to the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists list in 2013, with a $2 million reward for her capture. The U.S. government considers her a fugitive and terrorist, while her supporters view her as a revolutionary unjustly persecuted.
No new evidence has definitively overturned her conviction, but her case remains a polarizing symbol of racial injustice and resistance. Legal scholars and activists continue to debate the fairness of her trial, with some calling for a re-examination of the evidence.

ConclusionThe question of Assata Shakur’s guilt or innocence remains unresolved and deeply divisive. Her conviction stands legally, supported by the evidence presented at trial, but significant doubts persist due to the political context, alleged judicial bias, and conflicting accounts of the event. Without new evidence or a retrial, the case hinges on perspective: those who see her as a victim of systemic oppression lean toward innocence, while those who trust the judicial outcome view her as guilty. For further details, her autobiography and court records provide primary sources, though both are subject to interpretation.

If you expect me to believe that nations who've watched a genocide streamed live for 720 days, and DONE NOTHING TO STOP IT, are now going to stop the annexation of the West Bank, I don't know what to tell you.

Trump said he'd stop it.
France & Saudi too.

It's being done NOW.

We all know this is Israel /MI6 /CIA’s attempt to empower the surveillance state & further enslave / depopulate the working class.

They frame Muslims, but we all know who it is.

We’re not distracted by camouflage anymore.

Do not EVER listen to what Trump says.
Most of his words are lies.

He SAYS he will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank.

GREAT WORDS.

But it is being annexed RIGHT NOW. Today. Yesterday. Tomorrow. Homes and lands and communities being stolen.

JUDGE HIM BY HIS ACTIONS

The only way to restore the Democratic Party would be to dump most of the longtime hangers-on, such as Pelosi, Schumer, and more. Don't replace them with AOCs. Return to FDR's New Deal and the American people. None of this seems likely, but one can wish.

Look back 25 years and count how many countries China, Russia, Iran and North Korea have bombed, and compare it to how many countries the U.S., Israel and NATO have bombed

Look at the answer, and you'll see the violent countries who are really the biggest dangers to the world
