    That seemed so nuts I had to check it out. They are saying there have been 26,000 photos removed that had any remote reference to DEI. They claimed one photo was just of a man who's name was Gay. And seemingly references to women in the Services, maybe because they were portrayed in some sort of combat role I could quite get that since the links have been removed already.

    the word “gay “isn’t even on the list of forbidden words in the New York Times article.

    Yet, there's this: https://www.yahoo.com/news/defense-d...122459737.html

    "The Department of Defense is planning to remove content related to the historic aircraft, the Enola Gay, as part of Donald Trump's crackdown on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)."

    Someone is being a leeeetle too enthusiastic in relieving modern society of modern words.

    Will they process Marcia Gay Harden’s tax return?

    I do wish Bernie was at least 10, and preferably 20 or more years younger! He's been a one-man #resistance show--he's amazing. When he was interviewed on one of the news shows about his "Fight Oligarchy" tour he was asked if he's planning a run for President. He just shook his head and said, "Come on. I'll be 86 years old. I am NOT running for President." But still, he just won't quit.

    There’s good money to be made fighting oligarchy. Plus you never need to dirty your hands actually governing.

    Maybe you missed it, but Bernie has spent a lifetime dirtying his hands governing, for the good of the people, not to line his pockets.

    There was talk on Chicago radio yesterday about Raymond Emmanuel running for prez. I laughed. He is very rough around the edges and I don’t think a Jewish candidate will have an easy time of it.

    Not governing. Heckling from the sidelines. He’s not even a Democrat; just his own little novelty act. Rather than produce or implement any actionable policies he simply prates away about utopian fantasies he knows he will never have to answer for in the real world. Great entertainment value though.

    I’m sure the pocket-lining just sort happened with no effort on his part.
