I would like to think Hoover followed some bad advice, how he reacted to the Great Depression. Certainly some very unfair decisions came from his administration. Knowing his background, an orphan that came from simple means, it is difficult to think of him as the kind of scoundrel Trump can be. The small home he grew up in is within view of his grave, his plan to show he never forgot humble beginnings. One doesn't hear much anymore how drought (the Dust Bowl) made the depression much worse and that WWII was a key factor that ended economic depression. Banking reform and New Deal programs were definitely needed. Roosevelt guided in the right direction. Growing up, I remember holidays where relatives that were kids back then, reminiscing about getting by. Raising chickens in the backyard, trapping skunks, raccoons and rats to turn in for a small bounty, backyard gardening, canning and so on. I should revise one thing above, that Hoover Library is closed for remodel, and will reopen sometime next year. His granddaughter, Margaret Hoover had visited there just prior to my touring.

I remember in high school during economics class the teacher pointed at the white board (or was it a chalk board?) and said this board represents our economy. Then he drew a small square in one corner and said "this is how much we understand about the economy". Fast forward many years, even in our current age of supercomputers and market controls, the reaction to U.S economic policy is not always understood well enough. To say that tariffs caused the Great Depression as in this brief opinion piece might not be a sound idea. Jerome Powell admits we can't know where the economy will go with Trump's tariffs. We have to wait. Bill Gross does warn that tariffs might cause stagflation, that tariffs are a bad idea. Yes, how tariffs made the Great Depression worse is an accepted fact by economic scholars and historians. But these experts may not accept that tariffs were the original cause. What bothers me (I may have said this before) is how Democrats like to equate Trump and Hoover. For example, all of the corruption, scandals, and tax cuts that happened in Washington 100 years ago preceded Hoover. The stock market crash itself was not caused by Hoover. Alan Greenspan used to discuss how irrational exuberance will escalate asset values. That concept is much closer to what lead to the 1929 crash. Investors were buying stocks on credit. These were not "value investors" I am weary of how Democrats like to parrot ideas about Hoover without understanding history. Hoover was in a class by himself comparted to King Baby. Hoover had many admirable accomplishments in his life and was already well known and admired around the world before he became President. He was a famous mining engineer. He played a role in international relief efforts during World War I, helping many Europeans avoid starvation. I recommend anyone heading down I-80 in Iowa stop at the Hoover Library to learn another side of Hoover, what kind of man Hoover was. Yes, politicians and some historians like to trot out a lot of bad policy decisions they assign to Hoover, that make him seem pretty evil, but there was a good side to the man, a side that Trump will never achieve. Donald Trump will never accomplish what Hoover did in his life.

This YouTube channel below continues to post far-fetched fictional stories about Jasmine Crockett. Even though the channel mentions in the fine print these are fictional, IMO this bullsh!t should not be allowed. The narrative paints her as worthy yet all of these nonstop confrontations are false. One gets an impression that she grinds all these people to dust when she hasn't. From the comments, one can tell many many people believe these reports are true. A lot of negative emotions are stirred. Again, the above is fictional. I complained to YouTube. Thoughts?

Buck up boys. We can do this! Make America Great Again. It's how we can beat Jeye-nah.

King Baby tries to do what's best.

The idea of the "toxic Democrat" is in some ways paradoxical. Corporate media allowed Nancy Pelosi to be painted as ultra toxic. Yet wasn't she what the Democratic Party needed with President King Baby? She stood up to him. Now that she is no longer Speaker, the Dems appear to be rolling over. She was a great Speaker IMO. What was so bad about her? Trump just hates when a smart woman confronts him. The Dems have made plenty of toxic decisions over the years, for example Biden ramrodding Uncle Thomas's Supreme Court selection and allowing Anita Hill to be disgraced. Biden sponsored the 1994 crime bill that led to mass incarcerations, expansion of the private prison system, and widespread corruption in local law enforcement. Did that ultimately lead to the BLM mishegoss? How can the Dems be so stupid? Welp, no one is perfect. Look at Gavin Newson. He married that loudmouth ho, Kimberly Guilfoyle. Shit happens. But it's the GOP playbook that paints the Dems as toxic. The corporate media has been complicit in that, how they propagate GOP lies about Democrats and the trans community, about women's health care, birtherism and so on. When Trump warns how the Democrats would allow little Johnny to leave for the school day and suffer the school nurse cutting off his penis, corporate media says nothing. Do the Democrats need to realize better ways to manage third rail topics such as wokism and DEI. After all, the GOP is just turning us against each other. Wokism and DEI are part of the GOP's toxic playbook. I'm not confident how Democrats confessing they are toxic, unpopular losers will help. So, how can the Democrats create a new, winning image without inviting the libtards from blowing it all up like they did to Hillary. Full disclosure, I preferred Bernie over Hillary but no way would I vote for 🍊. But it isn't people like me the Democrats should focus on, to start winning. The Democrats need a new language and broad strategy. They need to become clever. They also need younger candidates.

I'd be surprised to be accused in that way. Called you a liar? Hmmm.... Is he cute?😃 My dental hygienist is like a drill sergeant but I expect she has the patient's health in mind. She also admits her job is a lot easier when patients floss regularly. She covers more than one office to make a living. Last appointment she said I was doing a good job, even though I noticed some tartar had built up. She tells me to floss once a day.

Good news. Twinless will be released this summer. https://variety.com/2025/film/news/twinless-sundance-sale-dylan-obrien-lionsgate-sony-1236284076/ My advice, don't read any reviews and ignore all the publicity. See it in a theater. IMO Dylan O'Brian deserves an Oscar nomination for this, but Hollywood is probably too fucked up to give an award.

Yes, one can't say enough about a guy that enriches himself by betting on market failure. Although giving an anal tongue bath is a prerequisite for serving King Baby, it should be no surprise hearing Scott Kenneth Homer Bessent does it with more gusto and noisy expertise than anyone. A lot of people are saying it, how he makes Donny smile. But at the end of the day, if you're a fired Fed employee, if you've lost your money, you die of COVID, you're a wounded warrior, or your kid contracts measles, that's a tough break for you. You're one of the losers. Best of luck. Trump likes winners.

Kudos to our POTUS, for taking time out from his golf game to welcome the LA Dodgers to the White House this week. Trump's make-up took on a remarkably, brownish hue for the event, and I expect it was an homage to the tan white boys on the team from the Golden State. As Trump rambled aimlessly yet confidently about baseball, one could tell he'd spent minutes preparing. But back to tariffs, yes ball licker Ted Cruz may have sounded the alarm but Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, now branded as "Nutlick" across the Internet, encourages America not to panic, in the same way he encouraged buying Tesla stock last month. What's the worst that could happen with deez guys? one might ask. For example, this morning White House economic advisor Peter Navarro sounded encouraging stating "I guarantee, no recession, ok?" However, Elon Musk responded on X that "Navarro is a moron; he's dumber than a bag of bricks."

Funny, it's been revealed Zion and Piper had sex, but that piece of the story was edited out of the final production. That she lost her virginity was a good thing to cut IMO. Sex with Zion seems like a good thing but incongruent with her story. Thailand was ultimately out of her comfort zone whereas losing her virginity to Zion would have been a triumph. 😃 This Aimee Lou Wood interview below is an interesting take on Chelsea's end, and brought me some peace that my favorite characters, Rick and Chelsea, died. Also it made me realize how across all three seasons, that not only Chelsea, but all the major deaths were brought on by the characters' own ditzy choices: Armand, Tanya, Rick and Chelsea. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/the-white-lotus-season-3-finale-chelsea-death-aimee-lou-wood-interview-1236183887/

He may begin ignoring judicial branch decisions and when federal marshalls are directed to jail those failing to abide by rulings Trump may block the enforcement arm of the courts since they report up to him.

Thanks to Wisconsin, the Republicans Are Shitting Themselves. For saying “fuck you” to Nazis, Wisconsin has become the Greenland of the Midwest. They’ve sent the Republicans into a spiraling panic attack ~The Borowitz Report

His stock tanked and now his guy got spanked in Wisconsin. What could go wrong next for our momma's boy?

Trump knows how to pick 'em. He looked past Corey DeAngelis's gay porn past. Good for Trump!! Finding common ground with the gay community. 🏳️‍🌈 Anyone wanting to appreciate Corey's past performances (Seth Rose on Gayhoopla) can find them at some of our well know Websites.
