I don't like her, but there is a big difference in getting money to reimburse you because government mandated your business to shut down, than getting reimbursed for a stupid decision you made in education.

Gorbachev died today. This author seems to allude that he made the mistake of giving his people too much freedom...

After being suspended for months, the City of Cincinnati announced Monday that police officer Rose Valentino has been fired. The 14-year veteran of the force was caught on her body camera saying a racial slur while on duty and in uniform.

"F****** n******," she said in an April 5 recording. "I f****** hate em."

Valentino said the word as she was driving past Western Hills University High School on her way to the District Three station on Ferguson Road. According to an internal report, Valentino turned on her lights and sirens to signal for parked cars waiting to pick up students to move.

"You gotta move," Valentino said. "F****** ridiculous, f****** a*******. Is she gonna f****** just sit there?"

As she starts driving again, Valentino says, "Oh I f****** hate them so much, God I hate this f****** world." She then rolls down her window at the station gate to enter.

I saw that video. She deserved what she got. I have no idea about that side of I-75 though. That's our Berlin Wall in Cincy.

Not as different as you might think considering all the well-off people and corporations who got ppp forgiveness and how many small business owners got nothing and saw their livelihoods destroyed.

those west side people, they are all messed up

Dems can't help themselves

Biden gets on his soap box yesterday or the day before talking about what he is going to do if the Dems take over congress in the mid terms.

After SCOTUS overturning Roe V Wade, I thought the Dems had a pretty good chance of doing it, but Biden starts talking about all the stuff the dems are going to do including banning guns and I can just see moderates all over this country shaking their heads.

We were always told to stay away from them because they ate poop.

Biden is on a hell of a roll. Old people get excited about shit like that.

I swear we turned everything in. My attorney even signed a letter for me. Wait, stay away from my desk. That's my stuff. It's not classified anymore because I said so.

This is gonna get him even more heated. I have a strange feeling this is all gonna suddenly end with a massive heart attack.

Yes. This is real.

He has a point. If they're so top secret, why would you make pictures of them public?

Thank God for that Top Secret cover page.

Ok. This one is just funny.

I mean seriously, what kind of man sends out a tweet or whatever the fuck they're called on his QAnon platform, that includes "perhaps pretending it was me that did it!" This guy has the mind of an 8 year old, a not very bright 8 year old. Luckily a combination of ego, entitlement, idiocy, mendacity and humiliation like Trump only comes around once in a lifetime or so...

The regulations passed by the California Air Resources Board last week say that 2035 the state will require automakers to sell only cars that run on electricity or hydrogen, though some can be plug-in hybrids that use gas and batteries. People will still be able to buy used cars that run on gas, and car companies will still sell some plug-in hybrids.



This just in.......


With California’s power grid under strain due to extreme heat and high demand, the grid operator is asking residents to avoid charging their electric vehicles. This comes days after the state announced a plan to ban the sale of gas-powered cars by 2035.

According to the National Weather Service, the western United States is facing a “prolonged and record heat wave.”

The California Independent System Operator is asking residents for “voluntary energy conservation” over the Labor Day weekend.

“The top three conservation actions are to set thermostats to 78 degrees or higher, avoid using large appliances and charging electric vehicles, and turn off unnecessary lights,” the American Public Power Association said, and limit energy usage during 4 p.m. and p.m.

And for those brave right-wing Americans who say it’s all about keeping Americans independent and safe, you want to fight against the country? You need an F-15, you need something a little more than a gun,” Biden told the crowd, referring to the second amendment
