Comments: Elon Musk will decide the fate of Social Security and Medicare. Time to panic. | Opinion Billionaire weirdo Elon Musk and his band of techies have likely accessed your most private information and have their disreputable mitts on the faucet from which vital government payments flow.
Comments: Demonstrators gathered in cities across the U.S. on Wednesday to protest the Trump administration’s early actions, decrying everything from the president’s immigration crackdown to his rollback of transgender rights and a proposal to forcibly transfer Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. Protesters in Philadelphia and at state capitols in California, Minnesota, Michigan, Texas, Wisconsin, Indiana and beyond waved signs denouncing President Donald Trump; billionaire Elon Musk, the leader of Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency; and Project 2025, a hard-right playbook for American government and society. “I’m appalled by democracy’s changes in the last, well, specifically two weeks — but it started a long time ago,” Margaret Wilmeth said at a protest outside the Statehouse in Columbus, Ohio. “So I’m just trying to put a presence into resistance.”
Comments: Tid bits about Agha Khan IV which I find fascinating Schooled in the most expensive private academy in the world, Instuit Le Rosey. Got accepted to MIT for Engeering but had to abandon that line of study on behest of his grandfather and attended Harvard University majoring in Islamic History. Graduated Suma Cum Lauda and got varisty H from Harvard with Bachelors of Art degree. He was an avid soccer player and down hill skier. He represented Iran in the 1964 Winter Olympics while he had never put foot on the country
Comments: Things we learned about US system that most of us didn’t know. President can assign an individual who has not been elected or vetted by congress to have full power to do whatever he wants to do within the government agencies. He gets full access to classified material and fire anyone he wants without cause! Wow!

Comments: In all this, I do not see the Democrats as innocent. They are the most impotent and lame group of politicians I have seen anywhere. Undoing Trump was easy. He is clearly unelectable. But they could not summon enough people to beat the 30% that support him. He won in a landslide of 30%. :) The system is the other culprit. It is clearly not democracy with time and time again majority of voters losing because of the electoral BS. The whole thing comes to the only logical conclusion. People should stop voting as a protest to the single party system.
Comments: "Elon Musk gets more than $20 billion in contracts from the US government and bought his way into a new role in the government where he can direct even more money to himself. Enough," Pocan wrote on X. We knew this was coming when we heard that Musk is investing in Trump campaign. Corruption at a level third world countries have not seen yet. At least there it is illegal on the books. Here it is not only legal but also done in broad daylight and there is not a thing that anyone can do about it.
Comments: نوشتاری تکراری ولی آموزنده از عزیزنسین: 🤣🤣🤣🤣داستان کوتاه زیبایی از عزیز نسین نویسنده ترک 🤣🤣🤣🤣 حدود شصت سال پیش یک آخوند به روستائی رسید با دیدن مسجد قدیمی آن روستا متوجه شد که مردم این روستا مسلمان هستند و با خوشحالی به نزد کدخدا رفت و اعلام کرد که میتواند پیش نماز آن روستا باشد. کدخدا که سالها بود نماز نخوانده بود و نماز جماعت را که اصولا در عمرش ندیده بود، با خودش فکر کرد که اگر به این مرد روحانی بگویم که من نماز بلد نیستم که خیلی زشت است، بنابراین بدون آنکه توضیحی بدهد، موافقت کرد. همان شب او تمام اهالی را جمع کرد و برایشان موضوع آمدن پیش نماز را شرح داد و در آخر گفت که قواعد نماز را بلد نیست و پرسید چه کسی از میان شما این قواعد را میداند؟ نگاه های متعجب مردم جواب کدخدا بود. دست آخر یکی از پیرترین اهالی روستا گفت “تا آنجا که من میدانم برای مسلمان بودن لازم نیست خودت چیزی بلد باشی، کافیست هرکاری که پیش نماز کرد، ما هم تقلید کنیم” با این راه حل، خیال همه اسوده شد و برای اقامه نماز به سمت مسجد قدیمی حرکت کردند. مرد روحانی در جلوی صف ایستاد و همه مردم پشت سرش جمع شدند آقا دستها را بیخ گوش گذاشت و زمزمه ای کرد، مردم هم دستها را بالا بردند و چون دقیقا نمیدانستند آقا چه گفته است، هرکدام پچ پچی کردند آقا دستها را پائین انداخت و بلند گفت الله اکبر، مردم هم ذوق زده از آنکه چیزی را فهمیدند فریاد زدند الله اکبر. باز آقا زیر لب چیزی خواند، مردم هم زیر لب ناله میکرند. آقا دستهایش را روی زانو گذاشت و چیزی گفت، مردم هم دستهایشان را روی زانو گذاشتند و ناله ای کردند، آقا دوباره سرپا شد و گفت الله اکبر، مردم هم سرپا شدند و فریاد زدند الله اکبر. آقا به خاک افتاد و چیزهائی زیرلب گفت، مردم هم روی خاک افتادند و هرکدام زیر لب چیزی را زمزمه کردند. اقا دو زانو نشست، مردم هم دو زانو نشستند. در این هنگام پای آقا در میان دو تخته چوب کف زمین گیر کرد و ایشان عربده زدند آآآآآآآآخ، مردم هم ذوق زده فریاد کشیدند آآآآآآآآآآخ آخوند در حالی که تلاش میکرد خودش را از این وضعیت خلاص کند، خود را به چپ و راست می انداخت و با دستش تلاش میکرد که لای دو تخته چوب را باز کند، مردم هم خودشان را به چپ و راست خم میکردند و با دستانشان به کف زمین ضربه میزدند. آخوند فریاد میکشید “خدایا به دادم برس” و مردم هم به دنبال او به درگاه خدا التماس میکردند. آقا فریاد میکشید “ای انسانهای نفهم مگر کورید و وضعیت را ن میبینید؟” مردم هم دنبال آقا همین عبارت را فریاد میزدند. آقا از درد به زمین چنگ میزد و از خدا یاری میخواست، مردم هم به زمین چنگ زدند و از خدا یاری خواستند. باری بعد از سه چهار دقیقه، آقا توانست خود را خلاص کند و در حالیکه از درد به خود میپیچید، نگاهی به جمعیت کرد و از درد بی هوش شد. جمعیت هم نگاهی به هم کردند و خود را روی زمین انداختند و آنقدر در آن حالت ماندند تا آخوند به هوش آمد. آن مرد روحانی چون به این نتیجه رسید که به روستای اشتباهی آمده است، بدون توضیحی روستا را ترک کرد و رفت. اما از آن تاریخ تا امروز مراسم نماز جماعت در آن روستا برقرار است البته مردم چون ذکرهای بین الله اکبرها را متوجه نشده بودند، آنها را نمیگویند در عوض مراسم انتهای نماز را هرچه با شکوه تر برگزار میکنند و تا امروز دوازده کتاب در مورد فلسفه اعمال آخر نمازشان چاپ کرده اند. البته انحرافات جزئی از اصول در آن روستا بوجود آمده و درحال حاضر آنها به بیست و دو فرقه تفکیک شده اند، برخی معتقدند برای چنگ زدن بر زمین، کفپوش باید از چوب باشد، برخی معتقدند، چنگ بر هرچیزی جایز است. برخی معتقدند مدت بیهوشی بعد از نماز را هرچقدر بیشتر کنی به خدا نزدیکتر میشوی و برخی معتقدند مهم کیفیت بیهوشیست نه مدت آن. باری آنها در جزئیات متفاوتند ولی همه به یک کلیت معتقدند و آن این است که یک عده باید مرجع باشند و بقیه کورکورانه تقلید کنند ''عزیز نسین نویسنده شهیر ترکیه''

Comments: A variant of bird flu is now observed in milk and dairy. So, bird flu no longer is limited to birds. So far there is no evidence of the disease jumping from person to person, but this, I can assure you is coming. The history of evolution leaves no doubt about this. The virus having adapted to two very different hosts, having seen the human infection, the next evolutionary jump will be human to human infection, if it is not stopped. In the mean time, the administration has adopted complete silence and is doing nothing about it. I wonder if this will be labeled as another hoax like COVID and HIV.
Comments: 2 million government employees received an email with the same ominous subject line Elon Musk sent to Twitter staffers in 2022Virtually all USAID employees were laid off, after thousands had already been let go due to a foreign aid freeze. Workers in DEI-related roles were put on paid leave, eventually to be laid off. Musk also targeted the Treasury Department and its payment system for the government, which manages $6 trillion in spending each year on Social Security, Medicare, federal salaries, and more. Swan said that Musk’s followers stormed the Treasury, and when a senior staffer tried to stop the young men from accessing the highly sensitive system, he was threatened with administrative leave. The staffer chose to retire soon after, Swan said. There have also been physical intrusions at the agencies. Workers at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building showed up to their office to find a sticky note saying “DOGE” on a door to a suite once used by senior technologists. Inside the room, black backpacks were strewn about, and unknown men in their twenties sporting T-shirts and blazers were hastily working away and wandering the halls, Swan said. These mysterious young newcomers are Musk’s army of devotees. They worked with him at Tesla and SpaceX and are now installed in critical functions of the government. Federal employees were already on edge, but then Musk’s men started probing people across government agencies. They questioned staffers on what job they’re doing and examples of work they’ve done.
Comments: BREAKING: Democrats go right for Elon Musk's jugular and introduce a bill to ban special government employees from obtaining federal contracts — directly threatening his lucrative government gravy train. The best part is the name of the bill... Representative Mark Pocan introduced the legislation which is titled "Eliminate Looting of Our Nation by Mitigating Unethical State Kleptocracy (ELON MUSK)." "Elon Musk gets more than $20 billion in contracts from the US government and bought his way into a new role in the government where he can direct even more money to himself. Enough," Pocan wrote on X. "My new bill, the ELON MUSK Act, will end this grift!" he added. Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has become a lightning rod for criticism as the billionaire's unelected minions work to gut the federal government by rummaging through the Treasury Department's systems. "@ElonMusk is ripping us off and like millions of Americans across the country, I’m pissed," Pocan added in another post. "I’m taking action by introducing the ELON MUSK Act, preventing grifters like him from getting richer while pillaging our tax dollars for himself," he wrote. Pocan is absolutely right. Musk's increasing control over our government while making money off government contracts is the definition of a conflict of interest. He and Trump are transitioning us from a democracy into a full-blown oligarchy. Enough is enough. Pass this bill immediately.
Comments: Shocking video shows an Iranian woman stripping down and jumping naked onto a police car in an apparent protest of the Islamic Republic’s tougher punishments for women refusing to completely cover up. The explicit footage shared on social media shows the defiant woman yelling at armed officers as she stands on the hood of their car in the busy streets of Mashhad, Iran’s second-largest city. She then climbs onto the car’s windshield, where she sits and spreads her legs, video shared by Iranian journalist and activist Masih Alinejad shows.
Comments: Freedom!?!? Not here The Trump administration gave the former highest-ranking woman in the military just three hours to leave her home following her ouster over her support of diversity, equity and inclusion policies. |
