old March of Time film hauntingly portends what’s coming again
The first mainstream newsreel in the U.S. to directly call the Nazi regime in Germany fascist. The Library of Congress chose this film for preservation on the National Film Registry in 1993.
but we’ll think about that tomorrow… that is if there is a tomorrow and as we’ve been warned before, tomorrow may never come. soooo laugh, clown, laugh..
Stocks tumbled again on Tuesday as President Trump’s trade war grinds on, Tesla shares are down 50% as investors dump the stock and Tesla owners rush to sell their vehicles, and the man in charge of America’s health is downplaying the West Texas measles outbreak.
Newsweek: “Egg prices plummet” https://www.newsweek.com/price-eggs-rising-falling-cost-2042992
Newsweek got those numbers from the Trump Administration, and we probably need to get used to the idea they’re making up stuff to look good. Here is the price of my eggs today that I paid $2.69 for as Biden left office.
Oh well. Another deadly Trump presidency. Pretty wild to see RFK Jr. pounding burgers with Hannity and saying how unhealthy and dangerous measles vaccines are. All while there are 200+ confirmed cases.
RFK Jr on the measles vaccine: "There are adverse events from the vaccine. It does cause deaths every year. It causes all the illnesses that measles itself cause."
“With crumbling public health infrastructure, rural Texas scrambles to respond to measles”
“Five years ago, Melanie Richburg used a roll of duct tape, a HEPA filter and a portable fan to draw contaminated air out of a hospital room where patients were tested for the coronavirus.”
“Now, as the state’s largest measles outbreak in three decades sickens an increasing number of Texans in the South Plains region, the Lynn County Hospital District, where Richburg serves as the chief executive officer, is still without specialized isolation rooms to treat patients. So, she’s prepared to bring out the duct tape again.”
“Some 64 Texas counties don’t have a hospital, and 25 lack primary care physicians, according to the Texas Department of Agriculture.”
“Most of Texas’ measles cases are in unvaccinated school-aged children and are concentrated in the Mennonite community in Gaines County. Cases have also been confirmed in eight other counties spanning Dallam near the Oklahoma border down to Ector, south of Gaines.”
“It was only after a school-aged child died from measles that state and federal support intensified. Twenty seven contractors were brought into the outbreak area last week to assist local health departments, Shuford, the state health services commissioner, said during a legislative hearing. A public awareness campaign with billboards and social media messaging was also launched. And, upon a request from the state, the federal CDC sent “disease detectives” to West Texas.”

Musk described Starlink as “the backbone of the Ukrainian army” in a post on Sunday, going on to say that Kyiv’s “entire front line would collapse if I turned it off.”
Directly responding to the statement on social media, Sikorski said Warsaw funneled $50 million each year into providing Starlink access to Ukraine, and suggested Poland would look elsewhere for similar suppliers “if SpaceX proves to be an unreliable provider.”
The ethics of threatening the victim of aggression apart, if SpaceX proves to be an unreliable provider we will be forced to look for other suppliers,” Sikorski said.
“Be quiet, small man,” Musk then responded. “You pay a tiny fraction of the cost. And there is no substitute for Starlink.”
Rubiosaid in response to Sikorski’s statement: “Just making things up. No one has made any threats about cutting Ukraine off from Starlink
“And say thank you because without Starlink Ukraine would have lost this war long ago and Russians would be on the border with Poland right now.”
*What is up with the say-thank-you thing? Fascist.
The exchange appears to be confirmation that Ukrainian forces will continue to have access to Starlink, despite the pause on all U.S. military aid and a suspension on intelligence sharing with Kyiv that Trump has put in force.
The European Commission is already investigating possible alternatives to Starlink access for Ukraine, Politico reported in early March.
Negotiations between Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s right-wing government and Elon Musk’s SpaceX over a Starlink deal reportedly worth $1.6 billion are sparking outrage in Italy’s parliament.
On Saturday, the spat prompted Musk to ask to meet personally with President Sergio Mattarella in what appears to be a last-ditch attempt to salvage the deal.
President Mattarella is believed to be among those who strongly support considering different options such as Franco-British Starlink rival OneWeb.
Italian opposition parties are trumpeting their aversion to the proposed five-year deal under which Starlink, the satellite internet company operated by SpaceX, would provide a secure telecommunications system for Italian diplomats and military forces.
In addition to calling my Republican POS in Congress today, I called Fetterman & Slotkin, because they seem most likely to cave on the CR. Shut it down. Republicans never take blame for anything anyway, so do not “align to” their goals. Republicans in Congress are domestic terrorists, aiding and abetting a Russian asset and a South African princess. Be strong now.
If we can get those FL House seats in three weeks, we can bid adios to MAGAt Mike Johnson. AOC and Jasmine Crockett have been doing the heavy lifting for the House. Hakeem is not a leader.
If your state is green on this map, get ready to take in ailing parents if Medicaid is cut and they get kicked out of their nursing home; you will be financially responsible. This can extend to other family members being liable for care in some states, such as siblings or grandparents, or for family being required to take care of those relatives, as well.
“Quite a few places throughout the United States have these pieces of legislature called “filial responsibility laws.” They require adult children to care for their elderly or ill parents, mostly in situations where they do not qualify for state or federal assistance.”
“Under these laws, adult children must care for their parents’ bills and debt once they’re unable to manage it themselves. Many of these debts include nursing home bills and other long-term bills. The amount an adult child is liable to pay can decrease due to Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security. If their parents qualify for any or all these programs, then the only expenses they’ll have to pay for our personal expenses, like nursing home fees and personal items.”
I’m in a red state, so I guess elders here will just be unhoused if there’s nobody willing to take them in? Certainly, nobody will be willing to assume debt, etc. I asked my members of Congress about this, but the only response I got was:
“I will do everything in my power to ensure every American has access to meaningful, affordable health care.”
My great-grandmother lived on a “poor farm” in Denmark until she was about twelve or thirteen (her birth year is questionable), and she came to the US by herself, sent for by an older sibling after their mother died.

The blame is yours for the recession. It will be branded for you, and folks will dance when you are gone.
As the US stock market falls, the Russian stock market goes up. Funny how that works.
