It’s a busy day here in the CatBox. WWWendy will be here in an hour. We have lots of chores, so this is my only article today, with no links messages on Care2.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 3:40 (average 5:06). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From YouTube (A blast from the past): George Harrison – Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)
Ah… the memories! RESIST!!
From Crooks and Liars: Brave New World creates films intended to drive home a point in a short period of time. “Families Torn Apart: America’s Deadly Immigration Policy” does just that about our Abuser-In-Chief’s masochistic policy targeting migrant children, toddlers, and babies.
Every American should see this. Click through. RESIST!!
From TPM: Oregon’s state Senate has cancelled its session scheduled for Saturday, citing a “credible threat” from militia groups over the showdown between the state’s Democratic legislators and GOP senators.
The Oregon Capital Bureau obtained an email from the Senate’s Democratic caucus telling its members on Friday to stay away from the Capitol on Saturday.
“The State Police superintendent just informed the Senate president of a credible threat from militia groups coming to the Capitol tomorrow,” the email read. “The superintendent strongly recommends that no one come to the Capitol and President Courtney heeded that advice minutes ago by adjourning until 10 a.m. Sunday. Please make sure your staffs know not to come in tomorrow.”
This latest development is a dramatic escalation of the ongoing conflict roiling in Oregon’s state government.
Oregon Republican Senators have called in Nazi storm troopers to help them evade the just consequences of breaking the law to help polluters pollute. RESIST!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
4:35 I guess he wouldn’t get hypothermia if he stays out of the mountains.
CnL – Sure, every American should see it. But you couldn’t pay Fox or Sinclair enough to show it. Alex Jones might, and then throw a fit about how they are all crisis actors, none of it is real, the dead children never existed. I don’t think that would help much.
TPM – Oh, poor Oregon. And splitting the state wouldn’t help, because then there’d be two new RWNJ Senators. Unless you could persuade eastern Oregon and eastern Washington to merge wth Idaho. Oridawa does kind of have a ring to it.
Cartoon – Amen!
I’m not a violent person, but if you told me your visual on that brick wall was physically imprinted … well, I wouldn’t be all that saddened.
I want to pee on that wall.
Don’t we all.
YT: Boy, I sure do miss George. Love this song!!! (Paul still puts on great concert(s), as I’ve been to one of them.)
C&L: What in hell have we become???? Unreal. I approve this message, with sorrow. Yes, EVERYONE needs to see this!!
TPM: Wow, that went south fast. This is a flagrant dereliction of not doing their job that they were elected to do. Running away isn’t going to help either. id’s!
Cartoon: Word.
Hi Wendy! Hope that you have a productive day, do take good care, and Thanks, Tom.
This just in: “With dt, everyday is an alcoholiday.” ~ Jim S. ~ 2. re: deportation raids: “Nancy called dt. That is what happened with 2 week delay. Nancy owns his as-.” ~ Curtis W. ~
Gives a new meaning to the term “the DTs,” doesn’t it.
YT: Was a real fan of the Beatles, even when they split and went their own directions. Wish George’s song could be played over and over again to get our world to practice PEACE and LOVE.
C & L: Awful to see the direction our country has gone. Especially now with a hateful leader.
TPM: Crazy situation.
Cartoon: I also say AMEN to that.
Have a wonderful Sunday. Hope you enjoy your time with Wendy today.
If you really want to be shocked, go to the YouTube site itself to view “Families Torn Apart” video (either by a scroll-click; right-click & “Open in New Window/Tab”; or just click it). Then scroll down and read some of the hateful comments by Trumpkins.
Truly, what have we become?
Trumpkins have become a pack of wounded animals, lashing out at anyone and anything with indescribable savagery. The fact that the wounds are largely imaginary and/or self inflicted is largely irrelevant.
The people of Oregon deserve much better! Oregon’s government needs to stand up to those vicious militia bugnuts. Give them even a millimeter, and they’ll take a lot more than a meter.
Thanks, Hugs, and Amen to all.
Harrison was marvelous!
C&L-TPM: I’m putting them together because they are totally related to the oozing, toxic, influence of the cruelty, and meanness, emanating from the Dirt-bag-in- Chief!
‘Toon: You bet!
