“I am on a carnivore diet, so I just eat meat and ferments,” RFK Jr said.

 When asked about Super Bowl snacking the headline gives Sec. Kennedy's answer. See, e.g., here and here.

He mentioned yogurt. But ferments is bigger than that. My question is would he consider sauerkraut for his Super Bowl friendship group?

And, can we call him "a Kraut?" Or "a Kimchi?" 

I'd like to do that, if it's appropriate. I'd even like to call him "an ignorant Kraut." The "ignorant" part is an opinion and the Kraut part would be by admission.







 

With a promise federal goons in Minneapolis streets will be reassigned, meaning someone else will have a load of grief dumped on them, which killing was worse, Renee Good or Alex Pretti?

Not a trick question. The single shooter event was premeditated, Ross silently walking around the auto and placing himself in a position where he could bleat "self-defense" when the agency protocol said not to do so, and then the second and third shots into the passing auto; that was premeditated murder, or do you infer differently from the total of online video we've seen.

The Pretti shooting was gross. This is not to say otherwise. But premeditation can arguably be said to have been absent in that senseless killing. 

Beyond those paragraphs, the end of the story will be written other than here.

Enough has already been said, so closing Trump is a fascist narcissist. In apparent mental decline toward incapacitating narcissistic dementia. Let's close on that. The thing curiously in parallel with his pulling Bovino out of Minnesota and sending Homan was his crashing in polling, to where one can infer but for the polls, Bovino would still be strutting town in his particularized way. Prove me wrong. If you can.

It is a nice day outside. There is cause to enjoy it. More posting in following days.

 

What sound does a lie make?

Some people use music to say things others take to the streets in peaceful protest to say.

Get the fuck out of Minneapolis. 
Bad cop, good cop does not work when all you send are bad cops.

If an image can be worth a thousand words, I give you an image link, you write your essay.

I bet you write a horror story. Masked goons running amok. Slash and burn.

I did not write anything because I did not need to. Script's there already

AND - If you want another image, I'll link another image

How y'all doing?

"McLaughlin also gave a statement to the Post that denied any mistreatment or deprivation of constitutional rights and said that detainees get proper meals, medical treatment and showers, and also access to lawyers and family. The letter from the advocacy groups, however, cites claims of “excessive force” inside the Camp East Montana facility, where guards allegedly utilize sexual violence to enforce discipline."

Two mid-item paragraphs run together are the above headline, the source being: 

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/09/texas-ice-camp-abuse-immigration  -- quoting

In a 19-page letter, addressed to senior government officials at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency and Fort Bliss military command, the coalition accuses officers at the immigration detention facility on the base, called Camp East Montana, of being “in violation of agency policies and standards, as well as statutory and constitutional protections”.

The advocates called for the immediate closure of the camp, where more than 2,700 detainees are being held in a complex of tents.

“In light of these abuses, we urge the end to detention of immigrants at Fort Bliss,” said the letter signed by eight organizations, including the American Civil Liberties Union, Humans Rights Watch, Estrella del Paso, the Texas Civil Rights Project and Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center.

The letter was addressed to ICE acting director Todd Lyons and others, and copied to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) office of inspector general and the Senate armed forces committee.

ICE officials in El Paso directed media inquiries to the DHS, which denied all the allegations.

“Any claim that there are ‘inhumane’ conditions at ICE detention centers are categorically false. No detainees are being beaten or abused,” said the DHS assistant secretary, Tricia McLaughlin, in a written statement.

In Minnesota, the key detention center, the Wipple Building, once defense lawyers were admitted to meet with clients, was found to be only a bit short of a cesspool. 

Crowding detainees together is a health risk, where the wrongfully kidnapped ones are then turned back into the general Minnesota population or into other home states. 

This while the quack Kennedy runs health policy. It is dumb as dirt to be that inconsiderate of things.

That Texas site is where the two TB cases were detected, and where the total number of detainees varies day to day, packing densities are unclear, and wrongful kidnapped citizens from all over the States could be exposed carriers released back into their communities. 

 

Stauber and his Minnesota Iron Range support people should take a tariff stand cognizant of the fact that all their processed taconite goes international through Canada's Welland Canal. Etc. re the St. Lawrence Seaway.

Perhaps Stauber is more concerned with being on Trump's good graces, than he is with the economy of his constituents. A move is timely if he pressures the mentally declining man and his economic advisor pool, before it is too late. With Vance seeming disinclined to exercise 25th Amendment duties, Stauber may either see what a stonewall looks like, or he moves the needle.

Either way, he has to try. And that involves contact and discussion with JD.

Emmer cannot avoid having a role. 

 

 

The Economist tracks Trump on two levels - polling and the economy.

Crabgrass bet = it only will get worse for Trump.

The dementia situation is not specifically an issue in Economist reporting. That, or I missed it as one of the many trees making up the forest

Biggest takeaway - The economy is a wreck and people know it and dislike it being that. It is the biggest single factor moving the needle into net negative territory.

If nothing else buries him, the wretched things he's done to ruin the economy will bite.

The overall poll reporting differs little except for being less comprehensive. Readers can do independent research, but they should not expect different results other than in detail.
